>>12713125I'm INFJ, Fe auxiliary function. I am not 'emotional', but I am deeply empathetic. Without that empathy I can't really give feelings or emotions any real significance. They are never of me, and not mine. I have no motivation beyond survival and concern, no drive towards personal satisfaction or success, only peace.
>>12713153While generally considered 'woo' (because of ignorance), I find Human Design to be the a significant metric for this type of thing. I have an "undefined emotional center", meaning I do not have a way to generate and process emotional energies on my own. I also have an "undefined symbolic center", meaning I do not have a way to generate and process vital energies(basically 'sacred symbols' - such as the phallus) on my own. If I had either, then my 'authority' - or Dominant Function in MTBI - would be F or S. Driven by emotion, or a sense of 'uh-huh/nu-uh'.
I have a "defined splenic center", and since I lack the others(which would take priority), my authority is Ni - I listen to my body. The only natural way for me to make a correct (Or Jung might say 'heroic') decision is to be 'told' through intuition. While this is complex, anecdotal, woo, and all that, it seems my design type (which is the rarest at 9%~) and MBTI type(which is the rarest at 3%~) precisely reflect one another.
>>12713322Rationally. Or maybe not at all, as I mentioned above. Some people have a defined way to feel emotions. But lacking that, we only work off the emotional energy we're being given, and avoiding situations/individuals/groups that would give us unwelcome emotions.
I'm from /x/, so pardon my deviation from the /sci/, but I find this stuff genuinely useful. *shrug*
