This reminds me of a documentary I once watched - it featured a lady who had brain trauma in an accident which took away her ability to feel emotion. One of the most disabling aspects of it, according to her, was that she found it extremely hard to make decisions. When most people make decisions, they use emotional thinking and select items based on their (often hidden) emotions. This lady was unable to do this, and was left only with analytical thinking, and that was hard for her because analytical, logical thinking wasn't intuitive to her. For me, however, though I may use emotions in my decision-making to some extent, logical thinking prevails and is intuitive to me. I don't use my emotions so much in decision making.
Thus confirming what we always suspected NTs really don't go through their day thinking the way we do!
I find that I am forced to do this kind of analysis and research because manufacturing standards have fallen so low. I can't get an appliance or gadget and assume it will work once it is delivered. We once had a platform bed delivered in boxes and once unwrapped it wasn't wood, it was glue and sawdust; the screws were all too short; there was no bracing to hold it together. Absolute junk and now what?
Mr WereBear tried fixing it but it was pointless when the "wood" won't hold screws. Just a total rip-off and there's no point in memorizing the company and not buying from them again; they form to make a production run of such junk and then dissolve.
