Feeling (F)
Key words:
personal • value • warm • tenderhearted
People who have a preference for feeling judgment are concerned with whether
decisions and actions are worthwhile. More personal in approach, feeling types
believe they can make the best decisions by weighing what people care about and
the points-of-view of persons involved in a situation.
Feeling types are concerned with personal values and with making decisions based
on a ranking of greater to lesser importance—what is the best for the people
involved. The feeling function places high value on relatedness between people,
and feeling types are often concerned with establishing or maintaining harmony
in their relationships. As they use and develop their feeling function, feeling
types often come to appear caring, warm, and tactful. Remember, in type language,
feeling does not mean being "emotional;" rather, it is a way of reasoning.
People who prefer feeling may:
- have people or communications orientations
- be concerned with harmony and be aware when it is missing
- look for what is important to others and express concern for others
- make decisions with their hearts and want to be compassionate
- believe being tactful is more important than telling the "cold" truth
- sometimes miss seeing or communicating about the "hard truth" of
situations and be experienced by others as too idealistic, mushy or indirect
