Can/Do feelers get energy/satisfaction from thinking?
TL:DR --- Can a Feeler engage in deep mechanical thought recreationally and in a lot of detail and attention and love it. Without it being a contradiction?
I am an INFP by almost every criteria except I love tinkering with mechanical thinking. For example, I sometimes use my imagination to visualise the cylinders in the engine of my car while I drive. I imagine the difference stages of fuel injection and combustion. I try to mentally define at what point in the process the spark plugs initiate ignition and I follow the energy transfers from the driveshaft to the tires and try to make sense of how the revolutions of the wheels convert to distance in a straight line and I contemplate the role of inertia. Physics was my favourite subject in school and I have a good 3D imagination. (I suck at maths doe).
However, I identify with Fi and tend to be a spiritual person who speaks sentimental nonsense when pushed to actually make sense of the universe. I often contemplate beauty and the way in which something may touch me emotionally. I tend to find reason/rationale to be ineffective when it comes to making meaningful decisions in my life. I tend to prefer it as a creative tool particularly when making detailed art/world-building
But a lot of this flies in the face of mbti cannon. I don't claim to be rigourous with logic and facts, but I don't flat out deny their existence like people think feelers are "supposed to".
But importantly, learning about physics inspires me and energises me. According to MBTI it should drain me cause Te/Ti are my inferior/Demon.
