Feeling in the nonpreferred position is very vulnerable. So your feelings can be easily hurt. Most Thinkers try to hide and disown this, of course. Leading to the typical descriptions of them being so "detached" and "unemotional". Inferior Feeling (such as an ITP) will be even further suppressed. Tertiary Feeling might be more visible as well, and more conscious.

I'm also thinking now, that while F's are more known for "getting their feelings hurt" more; I believe they tend to be more accepting of this (since Feeling is the more accepted function for them), while for Thinkers, when it does come to consciousness as being "hurt"; it is more negative, and they likely make more of an issue out of it (And thus will make the point to mention it as a possible indicator of F; and thus further throw them off. I went through this, and it made me seem to possibly be a Feeler. But the real key is that it is so negative; you don't want the feelings or emotions, and wish it would all go away.

It seems real ENFP's often wonder whether they are ESFP's [rather than thinking they are ENTP] (a few who really seemed solid have recently switched over to that type or ISFP). Even though it was commonly believed that people with T/F uncertainly are likely on the F side; it seems to be really be more the other way around, due to misconceptions about the T/F preference.
