You may have come across the Myers Briggs Type Indicator, one of the best ways of gaining an in-depth understanding of yourself which can be used to enhance relationships, work better in a team, choose a career and more.

One of the scales is called Thinking and Feeling.   

People who have a preference for Thinking:

• Decide with their head
• Goes by logic
• Are concerned for truth and justice
• Sees things as an outsider
• Spontaneously finds flaws and criticizes
• Is good at analysing plans

People with a preference for Feeling

• Decide with their heart
• Goes by personal convictions
• Is concerned for relationships and harmony
• Sees things as a participant
• Spontaneously appreciates
• Is good at understanding people

In the work place: 

Thinking types tend to be brief and business like. They want to be treated fairly and tend to treat others fairly in return. They play by the rules. Thinking types seem to be stronger in executing tasks, particularly those relating to data or things, than they are in tasks, which involve interacting with people.

Feeling types tend to be naturally friendly. They are willing to treat each person individually according to that person’s needs and, in return, like to be treated according to their own unique needs. Feeling types seem to be stronger in interacting with people than they are in executing tasks relating to things.

There are always dififculties between types:

Thinking people think that Feeling people are personalising issues when focusing on the impact on indviduals

Feeling people think Thinking people are harsh and cold, when taking a detached problem solving view.
