Going to quote FluffyWolf cause I think he said it very well
To use a crude stereotypical example.
For a feeler, comforting a person that's emotionally hurt by saying "Everything is going to be alright." is rational behaviour * "Means to an end". I added this part as it itself is a rational mindset. Maybe this will help some people in understand what it all really means as in Type/psychological orientation.
Means to an end such as i base my decision on a more subjective and emotional place " best way out if through". Based this on how my emotions would react if I repressed them or
denied processing the emotions aka Rational.
I knew I had to deal with my emotions cause if I didn't then it surely pop up later in me making bad decisions cause of repressed emotions/mourning.
Maybe a thinker would obviously use "means to an end" entirely different perhaps from being "proactively rational" as FluffyWolf expressed.
A thinker would digress, and think that that approach is void and meaningless. And that different action should be taken in order to battle the pain, and think that is rational.
So in that sense, like I said, I agree with the concept of the OP's post. Emotional and Rational are not seperated.
And
An F, being totally emotional, would be in their own perspective, acting rationally. Thus, emotion and rationality are not mutually exclusive, from a single perspective.
That which makes the rational NT's, rational. Is that we try not to rely on incomplete information and variables. And go only on that which we know to be true.
The seperation of rationals and non-rationals, has nothing to do with being emotional or not emotional. Rather, it has to do with how we reach our conclusions and descisions.
Rationals see problems in everything, non rationals take many things for granted. Both may take the same course of action, but only the rational would be aware of it.
So what defines rationality in NT's, is not the fact that we are more rational than others per se. But that we define ourselves by using rational factors to the best of our ability while making descisions, consciously.
So, whilest everyone can be considered rational from their perspective. NT Rationals are the ones that do so proactively.
These and how I've internally defined certain terms etc makes think it was all coming from a Fi perspective. I just know it's weird but I
feel INfP does fit best
. When it's said in that context of Rationality and emotion etc.
INfP
heh.
