MTBI
According to the MTBI personality test, I make decisions based on feeling compared to thinking. Those who prefer thinking tend to decide things from a more detached standpoint, measuring the decision by what seems reasonable, logical, causal, consistent and matching a given set of rules. Those who prefer feeling tend to come to decisions by associating or empathizing with the situation, looking at it 'from the inside' and weighing the situation to achieve, on balance, the greatest harmony, consensus and fit, considering the needs of the people involved. It surprised me that I make decisions based on feeling. If I was in a leadership position, say a dictator, I think I would make decisions that would be for the greater good of the group which may involve making decisions that are harmful to some people.

I think having this mentality of making decisions for the greater good of everyone is a great trait to have. It definitely keeps confrontation and hurt feelings to a minimum, especially when you are in a leadership role.
