Thank you! I’m glad I came across well. Sometimes I have trouble stating exactly what I want to say and people get confused, and that’s never good in a debate. XD

1. I do agree with you that thinkers generally have more self control than feelers, at least on a logical level. Like say, I’d have more self control over how much money I spend on a trip than a feeler perhaps because they’re more likely to buy sentimental items that I don’t necessarily view as something that people need, and therefore don’t buy. I kind of assumed that you were debating a more thinker vs. feeler since that’s what it sounded like, but if we’re going into just in general that any type can be better than certain types…. maybe? I’d have to do a bit more research on it(I’ll do it tomorrow, it’s 11 PM right now XD), as it’s my personal hunch that as we age, we shift more towards a Ti or Te in general rather than a Fe or Fi, since we gain more capacity to understand the world and people in a mature way, which would support your idea that thinkers are generally better than feelers. But like I said, I’d have to do more research to see if there’s any evidence supporting that. (On the meantime, @ericawordsmith, what do you think of the idea that people shift from Fe or Fi to Ti or Te as they grow older? I want to hear your side. XD)

2. I was speaking more on a right brain vs. left brain meaning, sorry if that didn’t come through. (Like I said, that happens sometimes lol) I was generally just meaning that in the intellectual “community” or whatever they’d like to call it, left-brain or thinker functions generally have an advantage since they think linearly and usually are more number/logic oriented than feelers, who tend to be right-brained and very creative, which is often more suited for the art or entertainment industry, for example. So I wasn’t trying to say that I as an INTJ am smarter than an Fe or Fi(I also know several feelers with 3.5-4.0 GPA’s), but that in general, most would assume I have more of an advantage intellectually.

3. To me Ti and Te balance each other out, since one is generally more philosophically smarter(Ti) but the other is more ready and willing to do something with the smarts they have(Te), in my opinion? So if Ti and Te “balance”,  then perhaps feelers and thinkers balance? There must be feelers, since logically we can’t all be thinkers(if we’re all thinkers then none of us are, we’re just all very similar people and obviously no one on earth thinks exactly the same as the next), so why shouldn’t the amount of feeler to thinker balance out to create a harmony in which some of us are more in tune to logic and some are more in tune to people? (Again, not that feeler’s can’t be logical.)

I shall return tomorrow. For now, I’m going to bed. 😉
