Do most people (like NTs) think binary, like approval or disapproval? — even if it’s more like a score.

A follow-up question: Are they obsessed with it?

    Hard question. My native language lacks a direct translation of the words, but I interpret the question to mean how my overall liking of a person affects my interactions. I do think about that, perhaps more subconsciously than not. I will go out of my way to help people I feel are competent, share my values or goals, are kind or speak with the right mix of honesty and tact or simply… Have helped me when I needed help. I usually don’t perform this calculus consciously though.

    But yea, I don’t use those words, but that may be because due to language they don’t come to me naturally.
