I was in a room working with a group yesterday and I realised something strange. From reading some things on the messageboard, I got the idea thinkers take a detached viewpoint, and feelers get all subjective. Especially with Ne we are likely to jump to the answers without going through the motions. I do it a lot. But here in this group everyone was throwing everything in for discussion, and I realised something wasn't right and suddenly just stepped back and watched. I then proceeded to ask direct questions on a few points to establish an underlying framework and also suggested moving closer to first principles so less assumptions were being made. It was like my INTP father had jumped into my body. According to the stereotype as an ENFP I should've wanted to be in the fire playing round with concepts. But I went completely T and said, explain the basic principle behind it and justify why you are making these conclusions. I had no intent of using any more words than I needed to, and my brain had no tolerance for unjustified conclusions. It was like my intuition suddenly realised it wasn't getting anywhere and something new took over.
This isn't the first time this has happened. I just thought it was funny that the F in the group of Ts took this role. Was this a Te hit? Am I an ENTP with Ti that I ignore, hehe, or do all ENFPs do this a lot?
How do other ENFPs approach problems/behave in group problem solving situations?
