Thinking and feeling are not two ends of a spectrum, never have been. A thinker will think on how they feel and so will a feeler. Don't mistake the different techniques as anything but that, different techniques.How can you consider your feelings if you then process it through thinking?
To consider a feeling, one must consider the 'felt' aspect as THE key to feeling, wouldn't one? So, bringing that to the realm of thinking, negates the felt.
(again, as we talk of extremes)
As for the whole feeling the feeling, have you witnessed the unbridled feeling of an NT esp an NTP? It's not always a good thing to draw it out. Doing that almost finished my relationship as I had an ENFP keep asking me how I felt about my now wife and kept disregarding everything I said as thinking. That's the thing, I express through thought. If I care then I'm thinking about you and not sitting there experiencing emotions all the time. The emotion follows the thought not the other way around.
