Would you describe yourself as more of a feeler or a thinker? Why?

Joanne's FAVORITE answer:
Feeler...because Myers-Briggs told me so.

Joanne's answer:
I'd say that I'm a feeler (this observation, much like my favorite answer, has also been confirmed by Myers-Briggs...ENFJ). A thinker would never have sex with an ex, would never tell someone they loved them when there was a good chance the person would not say it back, and would certainly not go to Vegas for New Years when they had not yet done any practicing on the job talk they are going to have to give in a just a few days for a very important job interview!!

And the other answers!

I am both. In my professsional life I try to be more of a thinker, although the feeler gets the best of me sometimes. In my personal life, I am more of a feeler, although the thinker gets me into trouble too.

All my life, growing up I was a feeler first and a thinker second. Now I think I'm more of a thinker first. Mostly because I have so much time to think. I don't have any friends out here where I live now and my internet access is so very slow that I can't let my feelings take over. So I think - and read.

INTP. Thinker.

Thinker…A thinker and a doer…Why? Feelers tend to get hurt more often… thinkers get the job done.

A feeler. I think WAY too much--obsessively overthinking at times--but, when the chips are down, my heart will almost always be what leads me. Even if my mind tells me I'm an idiot for following my heart.

So a curious grad student about to be on the job market has to ask...

how did the job talk go for this person after the trip to Vegas?
