feeler

A term for an emotional individual. The F found in 8 of 16 MBTI types. Prioritises emotions over logical conclusions.

Often has mental breakdowns. In which case, don't try and give a solution to their problems. Just listen.

INTJ: Yeah, he's a feeler. I could tell by his endless emotional havoc that tears down the walls I built around my heart.
ENFP: Am I really that bad?
INTJ: Marginally better than ESFP. Not only is she a feeler, she's a sensor. And all sensors are unintelligent animals.
ENFP: Wow, are you saying that sarcastically?

feeler

A tentative suggestion designed to elicit the reactions of others. Generally "feeler" is a term used when selling something when the seller isn't sure if they want to sell it or keep it. They might post an ad saying with the forewarning, feeler, when they are on the fence about getting rid of something to see people's response and offers. Many times feelers are put up for sale and sold, but sometimes the owner decides to keep.

It's essentially like putting your toes in the water to feel the temperature before jumping in all the way. Sometimes we get in, sometimes we don't.
