We all use both Sensing and Intuition in our lives, but to different degrees of effectiveness and with different levels of comfort. When someone makes a decision that is based on logic and reason, they are operating in Thinking mode. When someone makes a decision that is based on their value system, or what they believe to be right, they are operating in Feeling mode. We all use both modes for making decisions, but we put more trust into one mode or the other. Decide to move somewhere to be close to someone we care about Some decisions are made entirely by Thinking or Feelings processes.
Most decisions involve some Thinking and some Feeling.
Decisions that we find most difficult are those in which we have conflicts between our Thinking and Feeling sides. In these situations, our dominant preference will take over. Decisions which we find easy to make and feel good about are usually a result of being in sync with both our Feeling and Thinking sides. People with the Judging preference want things to be neat, orderly and established. The Perceiving preference wants things to be flexible and spontaneous.
