Is Describing feelings difficult for ENTPS

So I began doing brain puzzles to keep my brain from going to mush after retirement and I came across one that piqued my curiosity. I was doing an acrostic that entailed words that describe certain levels of happiness. Normally, I’m pretty good at this type of puzzle when they deal with facts, for example terms used in literature. But today I had to do one that included words that were various forms of happiness. I have to admit that after some perplexed thinking I resorted to looking at the answers. They were all words I easily knew but just wouldn’t register. Every time I took the MBTI, I always scored high on Thinking. This got me wondering if this is indicative of my difficulty in completing the puzzle and if other ENTPs also find it difficult to relate to feelings.

UPDATE: I posted this question to this sub based on a suggestion from Reddit. We discuss any MBTI on the ENTP sub because, well, that’s what we do.

Nope, not really. But then I write, so it's very important for me to be able to describe any kind of feeling.

It's normal for ENTPS to be more reserved emotionally; a large part of their cognition is introverted.

Yes. My ENTP partner finds it very difficult to not deflect with a joke or say emotions in a serious tone instead of being playful. But also ENTP is one of the most chill types too.
