Cats

I've come a bit closer to understanding the gap in understanding between me with an NT mind and the feeling SP.

For me Truth is in the words, the deeds, and the action. Once Truth has been found it is the same. Only if I see something substantial will I look again at Truth and change my mind about it.

For the feeling SPs the truth is in the emotion of the moment. So look at what they want. If they wish to make you happy then the truth of the moment is that they wish to make you happy. And what they are doing is an extension of that desire. Tomorrow they may wish to make someone else happy.... and that too will be true. Just as it was true for you yesterday. Enjoy it while you have it in your hands.

The pivot point is stasis. Sure they like to lay next to a cozy fire, but they get up and move. The kitty likes to prowl around, and will bat at a ball of yarn... but once the yarn stops moving they get bored with it an more on to the next thing in motion. Or object of interest. It is easy to see that all you must do is keep in motion (personal growth). As long as you keep moving they cannot get bored chasing after you and playing with you.... until they are so old the cozy fire is all they need. If you're a static display, they will sniff you and move on to something more lively.

TRUTH
In life I find the following the political orchestra runs the show (1984 style of truth and Doublespeak). It is the J & P dispute.

Experts say that this personality type difference is the most significant source of tension in the workplace and in group work. Perceivers prefer to keep gathering information rather than to draw conclusions. Judgers prefer to make decisions, often ignoring new information that might change that decision. Hence, the conflict. The authors of the book contend that a good balance of judgers and perceivers are necessary for a well-functioning work group. Judgers need light-hearted perceivers to make them relax, and perceivers need structured judgers to keep things organized and reach closure on projects.

Eagles (INTP) and Cats (ISFP) may be at the same place Perception-wise, but the Cats then run on emotions and do not think it out. They may follow the ENTJ leader.

TP Projectors have their own agenda which may be different. If the Eagle and Cats agree on the manifesto everything will run smoothly for awhile. Then the Cats put their tongue in their cheek and pursue their selfish ends. They are SP Artisan adaptive to the new boss. The ISTP Bear can be very grizzly and pursue their own ends. They may follow the leader or may rebel like a Lionheart ESTP. The INTP Legal Eagle just watches the show, but may have to go to the feeding grounds (workplace) as an ENTP Rattlesnake and it is best to move silently and not rattle. If they rattle too much they may get shot (fired) or hounded by the Dogs (ISTJ) run over by the Horsemen (ESFJ) or beaten up by the Bullies (ESTJ) or all three at the same time.
