Thinking (T)
Key words:
impersonal • truth • cool • tough-minded
People who have a preference for thinking judgment are concerned with determining
the objective truth in a situation. More impersonal in approach, thinking types
believe they can make the best decisions by removing personal concerns that may
lead to biased analyses and decision making.
Thinking types seek to act based on the truth in a situation, a truth or principle
that is independent of what they or others might want to believe or wish was true.
The thinking function is concerned with logical consistency and analysis of cause
and effect. As they use and develop their thinking function, thinking types often
come to appear analytical, cool, and tough-minded.
People who prefer thinking may:
- have technical or scientific orientations
- be concerned with truth and notice inconsistencies
- look for logical explanations or solutions to most everything
- make decisions with their heads and want to be fair
- believe telling the whole truth is more important than being tactful
- sometimes miss seeing or valuing the "people" part of situations
and may be experienced by others as too task-oriented, uncaring, or indifferent
