Am interested in Gandhi's type and so searched for a discussion like this... and then I see something that I disagree with posted in the discussion and want to clarify something:
Nope. Feeling types aren't necessarily any more deeply emotional than thinking types. That's not the "simple" difference between these two functions. I've seen the simple difference being described like this: Feeling types are people-oriented and thinking types are issue-oriented. My own example of this difference is how one relates to arguments. A thinking type would focus on the argument's content: who said what, who's right and who's wrong. A feeling type would focus on the dynamics between the people: is someone being mean or inappropriate, is someone being misunderstood or treated unfairly. Myself, I can focus on the content of a discussion as long as there's no argument, but if there's an argument, I easily start focusing on the people, which is a manifestation of my feeling.
(This example is my own invention and how I see the dichotomy at its simplest level. I welcome critique about my example.)
^ They [feelers] are, but they're also stronger at times. They simply have a greater range of emotional depth, at both extremes.
