I hoped to provoce some reactions from the Forum members about my interpretation of the Feeling facet from the Meyers-Briggs way of typing people. The books I read about it were almost always defining the Feeling facet in terms of 'humanity' and 'empathy' positioning it against the 'cool' Thinking facet. So when you interpret the T-F scale as warm against cool you probably would object fiercely againt my typing of Hitler as an Feeling-person! However I believe the MBTI misinterprets the Feeling facet. To me it is the way people decide; either you decide after a few quick impressions on the fierce feelings these cause 'in your heart' (which not necessarily need to be 'humane' at all; especially for many E6's) OR you don't decide so impulsively but wait and see all arguments; weigh these arguments on logic and then decide (thinking). Since this is only my hypothesis on how to interpret the feeling facet; I really would like the MBTI-users and Jung experts on the Forum to help me with this!
