But once again, these people are likely to fall into the trap of misinformation since they do not rely on calculated scientific measures.

Feeling:

Feeling is an indication of a person's ability to respond with empathy. These people would respond to information from the inside. Thus they like to know how it feels to be in that situation and then they respond to it. Thinking would then be in direct contrast to this since people with higher score on thinking would stay more detached from the actual situation and make a decision based on things other than their personal feelings towards it. There is no better or worse way of responding and thus both are considered equally rational.

NF:

Now let us see how a person with NF as function would behave. Such a person would be more sensitive to the environment and would like to work on gut and feelings instead of concrete facts and data. They are highly empathetic and can connect with others on a more personal level. They are intuitive and this makes them risk-takers.

Judging:

The last-one deals with a person's view or lifestyle that helps him make sense of the world around.
Myers said that judging people prefer to have matters settled. They do not leave things open and want an end to whatever has been started. Since INFJ falls in the feeling judging category, it pays to include the following information:" Feeling judges subjectively; thinking judges objectively. Differentiation of feeling is, in theory, expected to be associated with appreciation, empathy, desire for harmony, and an understanding of and concern for other people. The distinction in psychology between "tough-minded" and "tender-minded" relates to TF differences. Significant correlations between F. And other instruments include nurturance, affiliation, altruism, tender-minded, social and religious values. Examples of occupations of interest to feeling types include social service, counseling, religious activities, teaching, health care, and any other occupations where one can work with people."
