FEELING Decision making processes can be fulfilled on two sets of criteria – Thinking and Feeling. My preference, Feeling describes me as an individual that makes decisions based on a specific case in a biased manner off what is thought to be true within my own assessment. Another characteristic that is unique to my preference is that I tend to follow my heart, empathize with others, and let my emotions guide my decisions. Decision making with the Feeling preference can include wanting to buy something because I like it or declining a job, because I am not too fond of the work environment. Kroeger et al. (2002) stated that, as leaders, Feelers tend to “exercise power through relationships and attention given to subjective human values.”
