Everyone has both thoughts and feelings. However those who score high on Thinking tend to use their
    head more when making choices, while those scoring high on Feeling tend to follow their hearts.

    People falling on the Thinking end of the scale tend to be more comfortable basing their actions on
    impersonal, objective factors. Thinking people can be critical and exacting, both with themselves and
    others. They're often convinced only by hard data and sound reasoning. Individuals who scored highly  
    in Thinking tend to be frank and straightforward. They are the kind of people who are usually willing to
    speak their minds and stick to their guns, even if it causes conflict with others. They're known for being
    tough-minded in their decisions, preferring to keep emotions and desires out of the process as much
    as possible. Thinking types do have powerful feelings,
    but a strong show of emotion can embarrasses them. As a result, they'll usually keep their feelings in
    check rather than appearing to lose self-control, even at the risk of seeming hard-nosed or cold.

    In contrast, people on the Feeling end of the scale are typically more comfortable basing their actions
    on personal, emotional factors. When considering their course, this type will consult their feelings first
    and will almost always show concern for others. For the most part, these individuals are sympathetic
    and sentimental. As a result, many times they can be swayed by powerful desire or a touching appeal.
    Feeling people tend to be softhearted when making decisions. They don't like to hurt anyone's feelings.
    It's not that Feeling individuals necessarily have more or deeper emotions than those on the Thinking
    end of the scale. They simply let their feelings show more easily. This tendency makes them seem
    warmer and friendlier, which in turn can give them an easier time getting along with others.
