Feeling Type

Definition

In psychology, particularly in Carl Jung’s personality theory, the feeling type refers to individuals who make decisions based on emotions and values rather than objective facts.

Analogy

Imagine making choices at an ice cream shop. A feeling type person would choose their flavor based on what they feel like having at the moment or which one brings back happy memories, rather than considering nutritional facts or price.
