Since when is rationality isolated to the analytical, concrete, linear?
Rationality is defined by the merriam-webster dictionary as the state of being rational:
ra·tio·nal
\ˈrash-nəl, ˈra-shə-nəl\
Function:
adjective
Etymology:
Middle English racional, from Anglo-French racionel, from Latin rationalis, from ration-, ratio
Date:
14th century
1 a: having reason or understanding b: relating to, based on, or agreeable to reason : reasonable <a rational explanation> <rational behavior>
In no way does that imply that NFs are irrational. We have a different mode of thinking, a different goal in mind, but we can be perfectly rational in achieving that goal.
Furthermore, integrating emotion into concrete thought, if done in a proper manner, is not detrimental to an argument; the best arguments take both the mechanical and the human aspects in mind.
In the case you can act like a typical NT, for how long you can maintain that state of mind before you feel the need to experiance/make/say somthing "fluffy" ? What kind of events can throw you out of this state of mind in a blink?
What parts of NT mindset you find disturbing and/or irrational ?
Be prepaired to explain your calims in more datail. (just a note )
There is no need that all replys contain answers to all questions.
I can act like an NT for a decent amount of time. However, I get turned off of it when it gets to the point that I'm no longer able to take into account the humanitarian side as well; I find pure, robotic logic to be more of a weakness than a strength. Almost everything that happens involves someone and affects someone, and it's good foresight to take that into account. That portion is the basis for NF rationality -- naturally, it's also not the best to be without taking the logical into account as well. That's why we have both judging functions; they work best in conjecture.
What I find disturbing is when an NT is too stuck in this mechanical, fact-based logic and is no longer connected to the human side. It's not really disturbing, though; more kind of irritating than anything, just as a strong F would be irritating to a T. There's not really a "right" or "wrong," but more of a lack of a bridge of communication.
Okay, I'm done. Hope that made sense.
