Thinking is not unique to thinkers, rather it's required of everyone - immensely more than feeling.  Thus feelings may be less about hopelessness (no...|||Thinkers don't always deal in facts.  Things being wrong/senseless are obvious to most.  They're not thinker epiphanies.  That's why their derision causes so many problems.  The feelings...|||Yeah, it's true.  Don't poke the bear(s) as they say.  There are simpler explanations for the rest.  People make irrational decisions when they're emotional.  Their misgivings do make logical...|||A bit drone like for my tastes, but have at it.  Still, it's a simple problem worth fixing.  It's all external upsides.|||It's required to use these things.  Life is chasing feelings, ultimately.  They're what give meaning to any action.

Well philosophically I'd rank INTJ rigidity somewhere in the vicinity of ISTJ.  I've changed my mind at least a handful of times talking to INTJs.  They simply...|||I see.  And feelings are probably a better descriptor of what I was thinking of.  All the same, my work output is garbage without them.  I cannot do only what I think is right or what might appear...|||Never?  I'm not sure about that.  A decent ISFP would use them to do better work than their contemporaries.
