I've noticed ISTP's are supposed to be cold and not very in touch with their emotions. As a child however, I was always encouraged to express my emotions., which ultimately resulted in the development of my emotional side. Now I find, depending on the circumstances or situation at hand, I to some degree include my emotions in my decision-making process. They don't make the decision, logic and reason do, but I can't say they don't have some influence on it.
I'm not completely cold and aloof. If I'm not in a serious situation, I do take other people into consideration and I do take my own personal values in to account. I realize my emotions sometimes(other times I can get confused about what I'm feeling) and again, they don't govern my decisions, but they can stimulate a deeper consideration. Could this be due to my childhood development?
P.S. The situation at hand GREATLY affects this, though. When it's time to get down to business(I.E. winning a sports game, finishing a project etc.), there's no time for emotions, but if it's something simple such as who rides shotgun, I'm a little more in tune with them.
