In fact, if more people knew how restrictive the distinction *really* is, they may be less interested in it. Warm-hearted and cold-blooded are *not* MB/Jungian "Feeling" and "Thinking." The MB/Jung definition of these terms pertains to the way by which people come to *decisions* that they *act* upon. Thinking: decisions based on objective values (is it practical? What is its utilitarian worth?). In short, it's tricky tricky tricky. Harder to determine than you might expect. Probably more applicable to decisions that people would not be pressured, by conscience, culture, or even financial issues, into handling with their logic *or* their emotions. For instance, the choice of a carpet to put in their bedrooms. Or their description of their "ideal mate," and the reasons *why*... Or their choice of vocation, and, again, their *reasons* for that choice. Right? Anything to add, or dissent?
