3. How do you
decide or come
to
conclusions?
• Thinkers make decisions based primarily on
objective and impersonal criteria —what
makes the most sense and what is logical.
• Feelers decide primarily on issues of
harmony, empathy and relational dynamics.
Thinkers:
• Make decisions
objectively
• Take few things
personally
• Are more straight-
forward and direct
• Argue or debate
issues for fun
Feelers:
• Decide based on
relationships
• Take many things
personally
• Are diplomatic and
tactful
• Avoid arguments
and conflicts
Thinkers• Value honesty and
fairness • Appear cool and
reserved • Are motivated by
achievement • Are most
convinced by
rational arguments
Feelers• Value harmony and
compassion • Appear warm and
friendly • Are quick to
compliment others • Are motivated by
appreciation
Feeling Types can Improve Relationships with Thinking Types by:
Stating their wishes clearly so that the
Thinking type does not have to guess about
their needs and desires
Learning to differentiate between the
Thinker’s intended critical assessments that
sound like personal criticism
but are merely impersonal observations
from the viewpoint of the Thinker
Mutual Helpfulness
F types benefit from T types:Consequences, critical feedback, stand
firm, fair. T types benefit from F types:
How others feel, praise, teach and coach,
harmony
