Thank you! And it’s totally fine. 🙂

3. O.K. That makes sense…

6. O.K. Although this thread sort of has turned into Feeling has inferior behavior or not to thinking, but O.K. XD

7. Umm… No, that is not an opinion. If we were not meant to have emotion, God wouldn’t have created us with it. 🙂

8. This is true… But it is also good that we have feelers (would elaborate, but am choosing not to).

Umm… I also very much disagree with what you said to @taylorclogston

I highly disagree. God is not irrational and therefore cannot commit irrational actions. While I may want to argue against your ‘we need emotion to have relationship’ argument

Is mercy rational or irrational? Is it irrational to sacrifice for the sake of love?

And we also know that God feels emotion, otherwise, why did Jesus weep? Why did he sweat drops of blood? Many times in the Bible, it references Jesus and God having emotion. Also, yes, if you want a meaningful relationship, you need emotion. Emotion is like the cement that holds a brick building together. No, emotion is not the basis of a relationship, but it is a key element, and it is vital.

Brownie point, amen. I tell you putting up with that nonsense requires a great amount of self-control to not ask them, “have you no dignity, girl??” XD

“‘I believe behavior can be superior, but not their cognitive functions’ then we agree! The thing is certain function incline an individual to certain behaviors and that’s what I deem certain functions generally superior ; D”

No, we don’t agree. XD I had a feeling you would jump on that one. We don’t agree because I believe any MBTI type can have exemplary behavior, and though the cognitive functions help, they are not superior. No matter what your cognitive function, a person should have good behavior (self control/critical thinking and all the rest) no matter how their noodle works.

“‘If everybody has the same level of smart, then they have the ability to excel.’ uh, no. You need the will and the self-control to act it out…”

And having strength of character gives you the will and self-control.

“being driven by fear or emotional need is not self control. As soon as that is gone your ‘self-control’ unterly disintegrates (I know I guy, INFP, that had this happen to him actually) I’m not saying ALL feelers are unhealthy if their great achievers it’s just, from what I perceive, often they do it for the wrong reasons ; D But hey, I’m not a feeler, and if I’m wrong I’m ok with that! Either way, its a side note ; D “I did because I wanted to take them, not because I felt insecure.” ok cool *shrugs* maybe I’m wrong : D”

O.K. This here, being driven out of fear or emotional need is a problem for anyone. Feelers may be more inclined to do something out of fear or emotional need, and watching your INFP friend perhaps has given you a very bad taste in your mouth for this. Yes, they can often do things out of emotional reasoning, but they can accomplish much because they genuinely want to. Especially the ENFP. The majority of things I choose to invest energy into, I have to want to do it in order to finish. I am actually a person who is generally far out of being in sync with most people my age and don’t care what they think of me because I hardly think highly of them. I am a hard worker and high achiever because I want to be, not out of fear of not being accepted or emotional need.

You’re fine!

Oh boy… Well, I’m going to get a kick watching INTJs try to give a good explanation of emotion!! XD

Emotion… emotion… Umm….

Sad

Happy

Angry

Depressed

I don’t want to sound ridiculous, but emotion is what you feel. Everybody has that. Emotion more or less is the reaction to everything. Like, your body responds to what it feels. If you burn your hand, you feel pain. If you curl up in a fuzzy blanket with a cup of hot tea, it feels good. Your emotions are your mental responses.

P.S. My best friend has been following this conversation and quote,

“Tell him I’ve been stalking him and think his arguments are pish posh.”
