Scenario: A friend of yours has made you a cake for your birthday. You're trying to lose weight and have tried to stay clear of sweets and extra calories. Do you eat the cake?
If your strong preference is Feeling, you probably will eat the cake. You wouldn't want to hurt your friend's feelings, even if it meant sabotaging your diet. This is a subjective call where you bring to bear your opinions about how you should treat your friends. In this case, you're more worried with how your friend will feel if you don't eat her cake than what effect it will have on you. As you can see, someone with a strong Feeling preference really runs the risk of letting others and situations determine their decisions. This is especially true if someone with a strong Feeling preference also has a strong Extraverting preference.
If your strong preference is Thinking, you probably won't eat the cake. If you have decided that this diet you're going on won't allow you the extra calories of a piece of cake, you'll probably tell your friend how nice it was of her to make it for you, but to please understand that it doesn't fit into your weight-loss efforts. You'd be taking an objective point-of-view with the situation, analyzing what effect it would have on your day's caloric intake. Now, had you known your friend was going to make you a cake and you have iNtuition as your strong preference, you could have planned the day so that the other foods you ate were less caloric to allow room for these extra calories.
