The Thinking & Feeling Function - How They Impact Our Relationships. by MizMyColi(f): 6:22pm On Oct 15, 2014 |
Mature responses are welcome. Please let's not inundate the thread with denigrative comments. Thanks in anticipation of our cooperation.
Okay, I featured on abeautifulchick's thread and I saw diverse characters, I was amazed and scared too. Then I remembered this entry I made in my diary (The Quoted). I thought to share, in the hope that it'll give regulars in this section and the general public, some insight as to why both genders reason the way they do. |

The writeup seem to infer that there is a 'natural' divide across both sexes I would say that love is all that matters If a couple know where each other fall into, the other can work around it and both reach a compromise |

bukatyne: LoL The writer clearly states that. It's more like a research conducted among men and women. I've observed that men who are naturally feelers, tend towards the thinking function because it makes them MANLY. Women who are naturally Thinkers tend towards being feeling as it makes them more WOMANLY. Exactly what the article suggests @TheEmboldened 1 Like |

When I clicked on the source, I knew why there are so many fallacies in the text. The biggest one is that you cannot think and feel at the same time. |

carefreewannabe: The thing surprise me too I for don kill person if I no fit think when I'm angry (feel), but my thinking faculty sabi say na jail be that! Lots of examples to oppose that theory I read through and I'm neither a 'feeler' nor a 'thinker' or maybe I'm both |

alutacontinua: You have given a perfect example to show that this assumption cannot be true. Every healthy human being thinks and feels and most of the time we think and feel at the same time. |

carefreewannabe: Psychotherapy seeks to assert our capacity to do both. But what about our brains. What other fallacies did you notice? Please share. #OpenMinded |

Re: The Thinking & Feeling Function - How They Impact Our Relationships. by MizMyColi(f): 8:10pm On Oct 15, 2014 |
Stillfire: True that, but it all humans, there is one dominant function, the one we prefer using the most. |
Re: The Thinking & Feeling Function - How They Impact Our Relationships. by MizMyColi(f): 8:14pm On Oct 15, 2014 |
carefreewannabe: Lolest. While that is what I desperately wanna believe, I've found that we favor one of the functions over another. The favored one is the dominant one here. Besides, this is beyond the normal everyday thinking and feeling we know about. Perchance, ever heard of MBTI? |
Re: The Thinking & Feeling Function - How They Impact Our Relationships. by Nobody: 8:17pm On Oct 15, 2014 |
MizMyColi: I don't understand what you are trying to say. What other fallacies did you notice? Another fallacy is that objective reasoning is a gender specific trait. It is not. Objectivity depends more on education than on s*ex (and at times on the ability to be fair). This does not mean that an uneducated person cannot reason objectively. Another fallacy is that men are not as emotional as women. There are studies that claim that men are at least as emotional as women but do not express their emotions in the same way. |
Re: The Thinking & Feeling Function - How They Impact Our Relationships. by Nobody: 8:23pm On Oct 15, 2014 |
MizMyColi: I do not favor either. Both abilities are human and important. It is important to be aware of the two and to use them wisely. If you go by the posts here on NL, you will quickly discover that these gender stereotypes do not conform with reality. Besides, this is beyond the normal everyday thinking and feeling we know about. Explain, please. Perchance, ever heard of MBTI? Yes but it in no way supports the assumptions of this text. |

carefreewannabe: I don't understand what you are trying to say. During psychotherapy, you learn about your condition and your moods, feelings, thoughts and behaviors. Psychotherapy helps you learn how to take control of your life and respond to challenging situations with healthy coping skills. Another fallacy is that objective reasoning is a gender specific trait. It is not. Oh Yes, I quite agree, it is a fallacy indeed. But let's face it, the average uninformed man out there thinks women are fish brained, while his female counterpart thinks men a big stone headed people, more like one way traffic. Oh yes! Education does play a big role. I'm actually looking at things from a base level sort of, where just about everyone can relate. Besides this article, in the beginning looked at Thinkers and Feelers.......without putting in perspective, male or female. It then digresses into it because, naturally, generally, both thinking and feeling women tend to be or wanna be more in tune with their feeling side. For example, typically, what'd be a man and woman's reaction to this news. "Two Bomber Jets carrying more than 20 million worth of Nuclear assets meant for the protection of our nation have been shot down by ISIS militants." what is the man's concern, what is the woman's concern? I could explain more if you don't get it. Another fallacy is that men are not as emotional as women. I've read about that research, but we judge people by what we see, feeel,perceive aboout them, innit? Emotion is what I was refering to as everyday feeling and thinking. Check this out. "Most notably, people often mix up the nature of the Feeling function with the general meaning of feeling and emotion in everyday language. However, while the two are related to some extent, the relationship between them is by no means straightforward" "And because a lot of beginners don’t really study Jungian typology, a lot of people end up believing that F types will act with little reason or thought, being merely bounced about by an array of irrational feelings. This is precisely the cardinal error that one falls into when one mixes Feeling (in the Jungian sense of the word) with feeling (in the everyday sense of the word)." I would like to state here that both Thinking and Feeling are RATIONAL functions. "However, the way Thinking and Feeling make decisions based upon the information is different. Thinking tends to make decisions or render judgment based on the impersonal, factual, and logical aspects of the information. Feeling tends to make decisions and render judgment based upon the personal, agreeable, and ideal aspects of the information, as well as the needs of the people who are involved in the situation." "With everyday feeling, we often talk about being overcome with base, instinctual, and primitive reactions. Whereas Feeling in a Jungian sense is more concerned with a higher level refined judgment." "The challenge is therefore to figure out where the notion of everyday feeling fits into Jungian typology if it can’t squarely be grouped under Feeling. In truth, while “everyday feeling” does have some overlaps with Jungian Feeling, the two are distinct, and Jungian typology doesn’t say much about the nature of everyday feeling." 1 Like |

MizMyColi: I didn't ask what psychotherapy is dear, I just didn't get your point. Oh Yes, I quite agree, it is a fallacy indeed. The emphasis is on "uninformed". I don't surround myself with this kind of men. Besides this article, in the beginning looked at Thinkers and Feelers.......without putting in perspective, male or female. The article is full of gender stereotypes but even if it wasn't, I would disagree. For example, typically, what'd be a manand woman's reaction to this news. We would have the same concerns. I've read about that research, but we judge people by what we see, feeel,perceive aboout them, innit? In everyday language feelings and emotions are synonyms but I have read some articles / texts / books, in which these terms were distinguished. "And because a lot of beginners don’t really study Jungian typology, a lot of people end up believing that F types will act with little reason or thought, being merely bounced about by an array of irrational feelings. This is precisely the cardinal error that one falls into when one mixes Feeling (in the Jungian sense of the word) with feeling (in the everyday sense of the word)." The text you quoted was not so deep. I would like to state here that both Thinking and Feeling are RATIONAL functions. I am not so sure. "However, the way Thinking and Feeling make decisions based upon the information is different. Thinking tends to make decisions or render judgment based on the impersonal, factual, and logical aspects of the information. Feeling tends to make decisions and render judgment based upon the personal, agreeable, and ideal aspects of the information, as well as the needs of the people who are involved in the situation." You should have provided proper definitions of the terms before discussing the difference between them and their possible outcomes. "The challenge is therefore to figure out where the notion of everyday feeling fits into Jungian typology if it can’t squarely be grouped under Feeling. In truth, while “everyday feeling” does have some overlaps with Jungian Feeling, the two are distinct, and Jungian typology doesn’t say much about the nature of everyday feeling." Before we misunderstand each other, kindly provide the definitions. Thank you. |

MizMyColi: TBH I can't identify with either processing style. It would make sense to assert that I'm sitting on the spectrum of both processing styles i.e thinking and feeling. |
