Is this good to contrast T and F:
F types are interested in WHO you are.
T types are interested in FACTS about you.
Does it work for you?

Very much so, yes.
EDIT: That is actually how I came to think I might be an F.

I'm thinking that by people making one choice or the other, they cannot confuse the two things. What do you think?Originally Posted by anndelise
"Facts" are more material/apparent and "who you are" is more to do with the soul/hidden.
how about
F's want to know what you need / desire.
T's want to know why how / why your here.
to me T's are only interrested in facts as the means to discovering the how / why's.
Is this more to do with than ?Originally Posted by Bionicgoat
When I think about it I can't really distinguish one from the other, but according to your defintions I lean more towards the second (F).

Problem is, "Facts about" and "Who" are not always separatable in people's minds. Trying to force them to choose between one or the other, when they are the "same thing" is like asking you to choose, are you Hugo, or do you Hugo.Originally Posted by Hugo
And what about the people who will argue with someone that they don't argue? Or yell at someone that they don't have a temper? The FACT is, they have a temper, or that they argue. WHO they are is someone who argues or has a temper. Which is which? Same thing?
BionicGoat suggests asking more specific questions rather than asking a person to choose between Hugo and Hugo. Can you create more specific questions?

I have no problem with the original question. It basically suggests that T types define people by the totality of their actions while F types believe that one's outward actions do not necessarily reflect who they truely are. It works for me.

I don't know and I don't think so. I am relating to Ts in that description if you thought the contrary. If you didn't... it might have to do with my hidden agenda making it easier to recognize the opposite of my Te (the other side of the coin, as you have said previously)Originally Posted by Hugo

Facts and people can easily go hand to hand. Why you're here vs your desires, it's the same question.
It's "things" and people which are the more opposite focuses, not facts and people. Do you see things similarly to people as having logical or natural properties and something to figure out/solve, or do you see things and people ethically, as they come together and ultimately effect humans and their questions of morals and feelings. T vs F
The opposite of a fact or detail is an idea or conjecture, something exact, present, provable vs that which isn't proved or yet in full form. S vs N
Similarly a thing may exist as a fact, an object seen and felt in reality, or, a thing may exist as simply an idea or plan in one's own imagination. It is only an intuition or vision which will be a directly opposite perception to a fact.
