I think we score quite a bit worse on “feeling” than most altruistically-driven communities and individuals, men included.
[Edit: Point being, yes we’re lacking in feeling, but “thinking vs. feeling” is not a tradeoff we have to make to increase our A (or our gender parity, which isn’t an inherent problem but is tightly related to our problems). EA’s whole purpose is to combine both and we should aim to recruit people who score high on both, not just one or the other. Sorry for the excessive edits.]
My understanding of Myers Briggs is that ‘thinking’ and ‘feeling’ are mutually exclusive, at least on average, in the sense that being more thinking-oriented means you’re less feeling-oriented. The E vs. A framing is different, and it seems you could have people who score high in both. Is there any personality research on this?
Doesn’t personality psychology use the BIg Five instead of Myers Briggs? AFAIK there isn’t enough research to determine the validity and usefulness of the ‘thinking’ / ‘feeling’ categories (and Myers Briggs in general).
