I'm glad my phrase triggered such reactions
I'll add this to clear my opinion hopefully :
MBTI is merely an indicator of how you FEEL / THINK about yourself at the present moment (or you wouldn't consciously choose certain answers over others) ... Therefore my question was merely representing that those who consciously view themselves as Thinkers prefer to view 'Feelers' as more miserable.
As my opinion,
it works both ways, as some people pursue IDEAS, are caught in their thoughts, and other crave FEELINGS, creating miserableness in the two cases.
Or in my other posts where I have favoured emotion as being more crucial than intellect, particularly in the field of social relationships?
As you resulted F instead of T, I would assume you favour emotions than intellect
HENCE my question
Could it be perhaps, more logical to assume that emotion is the first response to an external stimuli, with the second result a thought from the projected emotion?
Nope, there is a feeling (physical), and then a projection (emotion and/or thought).
Emotion is merely for me an interpretation of the 'gut feeling' present in my body (if my body freezes, you can't say it's because I was scared, it depends on the individual and the circumstances) ...
Is it more logical or emotional to follow your gut instinct?
I see both logic and emotions the same way, like the two sides of the same coin.
So I would say both.
The logic is that I don't second-guess, I don't overthink, I don't indulge in emotional tentrums ... I just DO, or DON'T DO.
