care =/= warm
The Fe warmth I spoke of is more about familiarity, emotional interaction.
Gamma/Delta member can act warmly to people they are not close to, but they prefer not to experience that type of emotional interaction with people who they are not close to.
I really hope I don't have to explain what "close" means... Think of your best friend or boyfriend... now think of the many people you come in contact with who you do not know as well and who are not as important in your life.
Since the only logical possibility is to ground it in objective data, then supposing that Joy's premise:Originally Posted by Kioshi
"needs a warm emotional atmosphere, and the relationship follows "
is true, warm can only be defined as the condition under which a relationship follows. If the relationship is present, then warmth. If it isn't, then not warmth.
It seems impossible though to punctify the continuum in order to precisely quantify the "break even" point, since of course warmth is not binary (though I guess it can be binarized if you stricly reduce it to relationship/not relationship as I just did. Doesn't sound effective to me).

People are trying to find objective ways to measure closeness and level of warmth in relationships?

"Don't care" is not externally definiable, therefore we can kinda throw if away I guess. Better stick with the post hoc ergo propter hoc risk.Originally Posted by Kioshi
Oh, in order to use the approach I just tried to define, we of course have to previously know the types, since otherwise everything's messed up.

No, reread what I wrote. Since it's impossible to measure that, we just define warm a relationship which is formed if at least one of the components is Alpha/Beta, supposing that Alpha/Beta needs warmth in order to form a relationshiop.Originally Posted by Slacker Mom

all i know is that ESFjs/ISFps laugh really loud. like sometimes they laugh so much that i'm wondering if they really think i'm that funny? so even getting close to those types is strange for me.
(but i still think that a lot of the guys can be really funny.)

I meant Kioshi really. I saw where you said it's impossible to measure.Originally Posted by FDG

As I said it works for me, but I had a hard time discussing that with an INFj male friend of mine (let me just say that personally I have no reasonable doubt as to his type, I've known him for 10 years). Although to me he does have clear over preference, he's also so comfortable "navigating" in that he found it hard to draw a line. I think he kept thinking that "warmness" = "sense of connection". He could see how it worked for me though.Originally Posted by Joy
Still, he has also mistaken other people's warmness for relationship.
My point is that this distinction may not be obvious to everyone.

Warmth is loyalty to me. I can't really stand people who act superficially friendly to me. I have no idea what function that is (if any) but you know, people who act like our relationship is something that it isn't. I don't really trust 'popular' people per se, because they treat EVERYBODY kind. I'm rather selfish, which is why I don't have very many friends. I want to feel that I'm special in that person's eyes and that I'm the only one they talk to like that. I know that rationally, people make friends easily by being nice to others equally. I just don't like doing that. I prefer to have one or two close friends and talk about how we hate everybody else. Daria-ish I guess.
I don't think of this is as wrong or right. It's just the way I am. I prefer people who pick favorites because I think it's just natural.
I have no idea what this has to do with functions but...that's how I describe it I guess.
are you INTp or ISTp?
or ENTj?
