Feeling is necessarily a hindrance because it is antithetical to Thinking.
Indeed. Which is why someone who's more aware and in control of their Feeling would probably find it less of a hindrance than someone for whom the entire function was an enigma they can neither understand nor control.
No it wouldnt, because it is a property of Thinking, and therefore impersonally founded. The more the INTP introverts, the more impersonal he becomes by contrast to your clause. As here we equate the inner purpose with the pure essence of objectivity.(That is because the more the INTP introverts, the more into the T essence he goes)
I don't buy that. It'd be true if INTP's were as android-ish as some of them claim to be, but most are not - and simply wanting to not have feelings isn't the same thing as actually not having them; wanting to separate yourself completely from them isn't the same as having successfully done so - which I'd theorize that no healthy human being either could or should do. In practical reality, my experience is that the more the INTP introverts, the more they become caught up in their own subconscious workings, whilst being consciously certain that they're objective and uninvolved. The risk of intellectual conceit is higher, IMO.
I've always assumed ENTJ's were the most objective.
You might have a point there... actually...
Of course, remember logically consistent doesn't always mean objective/true, and the question becomes harder to answer, since it's possible that an ENTP might be more faithful to the emerging pattern, without being constrained by their prior understanding of logic.
Absolutely. That's what I was trying to say here:
Sometimes I find hyperactive Ne can join dots that don't really belong joined, but once the connection's been made, if we don't realise in time that the connection's false, then we'll soon find all the faulty conclusions being drawn from it tumbling out pêlle-mêlle. For me it's usually a case of "Connecting dot X with dot 3.24, the logical conclusion is..." and the conclusion would be logical if X and 3.24 were actually related in the way I perceived them to be - but they're not, so my conclusion is illogical.
You could argue that ENTP is therefore more prone to flawed logic, having greater reliance on Ne. But equally, it could be said that, being more practiced with Ne and disciplined with it, ENTP would be more likely to make the right connections in the first place, than INTP.
