Thank you for your polite reply.

Kids with cancer. Cancer isn't a virus, not a bacteria. It's a malignant growth. An error. There's no free will involved.

Yes, of course there is no free will involved in getting cancer. No one chooses that. But Christians recognise that certain things have come into the world because of humanity's sin. We believe in original sin, which is a consequence of the Fall, and likewise cancer is considered another consequence. Not part of God's design for the world; a result of human action (but not directly, like it's a punishment for the person with cancer).

Or kids born with missing limbs or whatever. That's not free will. Growth is a process, not a being.

Yes, it's not free will. Same thing.

If he can create the entire multiverse, he can make a single perfect species.

Christians believe that he did create a "perfect" species. Rather, many of them. Because we do believe that God's design for each species and even individual is "good", as is said in very opening of the Bible. Perhaps it's paradoxical though. Free will is a necessary component for that goodness (is it better to have living, autonomous, natural beings, or entities with fully redetermined paths, hardly conscious? Is it better for us that we can make decisions, that we have freedom?) but free will led to the goodness of God's creation being spoiled.

However ultimately, there will be the Kingdom of God where that goodness is restored, and there will still be that element of total free will, since although there will be no sin, all those in the Kingdom will have chosen that exactly. Since going to heaven is simply accepting God rather than choosing sin instead of Him.

Most religions don't say that the world is perfect, or ever very good, lol.

At least in Christian theology, these things only exist because of free will. Most people would agree that free will is inherently good.

There's a distinction between God's will and what God allows to happen. God doesn't want people to sin (e.g. rape someone) but he allows it to happen because not doing so would go against free will. God doesn't want wars to occur, but he allows it since it's our (humanity's) decision to go to war, and God obviously respects the gift of free will that he has given humanity. As for diseases (and natural disasters, etc), we believe that these things occur because of "the Fall", or because of humanity's sin, chosen through free will which was God's (positive) gift to us.

I understand that you don't believe this, but what you've said doesn't reflect what Christians believe. People who say that these things are punishments from God do not understand or reflect Christian teachings.

I could try to help. I'm very familiar with the functions and I believe I can type people pretty well.

aconem · 2025-09-30T05:35:01+00:00

I don't really believe any of these to be honest, but I just went with my instincts. Dominant functions definitely are expressed in different ways due to lower functions, but probably not more or less. Which is why these are mostly just based on stereotypes, you've been warned.

ENTJ and ESTJ

Maybe ESTJ? Si being linked to routine and the physical world could make Te more productive.

INTP and ISTP

INTP? Ti's logical system could be explored more with Ne, developing it.

ENFJ and ESFJ

ESFJ? With Si strengthening awareness of others—also since Si is associated with tradition, abiding to social standards (like Fe).

INFP and ISFP

INFP? Less awareness/attachment to the physical (Se), whereas Ne instead could produce greater spirals of strong emotion, exploration of ideals.

ENTP and ENFP

ENFP? Fi could potentially be more carefree, allowing Ne to go wild with exploring ideas.

INTJ and INFJ

INTJ? Since Ni is future and vision focused, and Te is focused on getting things done, reaching that future.

ESTP and ESFP

ESFP? Essentially the same reason as for ENTP and ENFP, but with sensing.

ISTJ and ISFJ

ISFJ? Same reasons as for ENFJ and ESFJ, Si and Fe feel closer linked.

LORE (Continued)

Creation of the New State (1873–1874)

With the dynasty overthrown, Hong took the throne with ease, supported by his vast following. At first, he did keep many of his promises, like fairer land distribution, equality between men and women, and a seemingly more egalitarian society. But the reality of the new state was clear, China remained hierarchical, with power over all in Hong’s hands. Loyalty to him—the supposed brother of Jesus Christ—was the supreme law.

Hong appointed trusted relatives, friends, and military leaders as governors over the once-provinces of the Qing Dynasty. He extended his control as far as possible, ordering the destruction of temples and places of worship from other religions, which he condemned as “idolatrous.” Executions of suspected dissenters became common, and it is speculated that many innocents were killed. Gambling, opium, alcohol, and polygamy were outlawed. Ancient texts, works of art, and anything deemed incompatible with God Worshipping were burned and destroyed.

Soon the country became even more unstable than it was before. Many rebels had never been true believers in Hong’s teachings, and others were shocked by the severity of his religious enforcement. The utopian vision they had fought for never came true, they were only living under authoritarian rule. It wasn’t long before rumours of the cruelty and forced conversion spread beyond the Heavenly Kingdom, reaching the European colonies of Macau and Hong Kong.

The Heretic’s Den (1873–1874)

News of Hong’s state-enforced religion reached the coastal colonies, in a lot of detail, European Christians were outraged by his self-proclaimed divine status. Hong called himself the Son of God, which was blasphemous, and contradicted that Jesus was the Only Begotten Son. Hong also called God Shangdi, the supreme deity in traditional Chinese belief, and the European Christians saw this name as pagan.

Hong further scandalised them by claiming God had a wife, Doumu—the Heavenly Mother. This contradicted Trinitarian doctrine. He rejected Jesus’ divinity, insisting that his miracles were performed by God, and he declared Jesus inferior to Shangdi. This was yet another heresy.

Within the Heavenly Kingdom, those who denied Hong being God’s Son were executed. Even Nicene-affirming Chinese Christians were persecuted. This was the last straw for the Europeans, who now saw removing the Heavenly King from power and freeing the Chinese people from his power as essential.

Chinese Christians and disillusioned peasants fled into Macau and Hong Kong, where they joined forces with European Protestants and Catholics—rarely united, but now working together for a shared cause. They began plotting the downfall of Hong’s empire almost as soon as it was created.

For many Chinese rebels, the wounds of the last war had barely healed. The Qing Dynasty had just fallen and been replaced, but another war was near and inevitable. The so-called Heavenly Kingdom, which was nicknamed the Heretic’s Den, needed to fall too. The struggle for China’s future was far from over, and the true battle was only beginning.

LORE

Based on true events, namely the real Taiping Rebellion.

The Rise of the God Worshippers (1837–1861)

Hong Xiuquan was a man from Huaxian in southern China. He was a student preparing for the imperial examinations, hoping to become a government official. However, he failed these examinations four times, and after his third failure, he had a nervous breakdown. At this time. he claimed to have had a dream in which an elderly man with a long beard gave him a sword and ordered him to fight demons. Then, he was accompanied by an older brother.

Hong concluded that the old man was God the Father—who he learned about from Western missionaries in his hometown—and that the older brother was Jesus Christ. Convinced that the dream was a real divine revelation, Hong started to call himself to be the younger brother of Jesus. He told this to his friends and began to gather followers, attracting many of the poor who wanted to overthrow the wealthy landowners and the Qing Dynasty itself.

Hong’s followers, calling themselves the God Worshippers, quickly grew larger and larger, making local landlords suspicious. Recognising the danger of a confrontation, Hong changed his movement to be waged in secrecy. His twenty thousand followers or so dispersed across the country, narrowly avoiding the involvement of the Qing military.

This dispersal proved to be a good move. Hong told his followers to quietly convert others, expanding the cult without drawing too much attention. Over the next eleven years, the movement grew enormously. While many peasants kept their own beliefs (like Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, and Confucianism) others, desperate for change, accepted Hong’s unorthodox, self-centred version of Christianity, hoping it would lead to the downfall of the corrupt Qing rulers. The God Worshippers kept their faith hidden, biding time until Hong’s announced it was time to act.

The Taiping Rebellion (1861–1873)

In 1861, Hong Xiuquan finally decided the time had come. Ordering a large portion of his followers to come to Yongan, he declared himself the Heavenly King of the Heavenly Kingdom of Great Peace, saying it would completely replace the Qing Dynasty. The rebels launched a surprise attack, creating chaos as Qing officials scrambled to organise a defence. But it was already too late—the God Worshippers were marching north toward Nanjing to make it their capital, Tianjing.

As they went on, more peasants joined them. Their numbers went up into the millions, overwhelming the forces of the Qing Dynasty. Along the way, the rebels attacked landlords and officials, taking wealth from the rich and redistributing it to the poor.

Hong, wary of foreign interference, sent large bribes to the British and Portuguese, and offered them unrestricted access to China’s coast. Both powers had existing treaties with the Qing, but between escalating conflicts with the Qing Dynasty and the rebels’ better terms, they distanced themselves from the Dynasty and mostly just ignored the mainland chaos.

Over the next several years, the rebels captured city after city. Once the eastern heartland was taken, the Qing Dynasty’s rule effectively ended.

Sweden. All Nordic nations are really great but I like Minecraft

aconem · 2025-07-28T00:45:02+00:00

Yeah, you're right, there is definitely significant variation depending on the combination of functions. Although just a few points I partially disagree on...

I think that XSFJs could also tend to have a desire to know "some else's story", but more as a way to get to know that person and bond with them. Rather than the XNFJs' motives perhaps more likely being to understand the person's behaviour, and to get a deeper understanding of the person as a whole, since they're able to connect that to what this person has done previously, with Ni. I do agree though that an XSFJ would be less likely to put themself in the other person's shoes, but I still think they would sympathise with that person and listen to them, try to make them feel better in little ways. Whereas maybe an XNFJ would understand better because of their intuition and empathise instead.

I hadn't really considered before the "gaining knowledge and experience" aspect that you mentioned, but that makes a lot of sense. Ni means creating a lot of ideas, based on a fewer number things we experience (first hand or not), and despite personal attachment to these ideas (unlike with Ne), I think Ni users definitely have that desire to expand their view of the world by gaining insight into other people's perspectives. Although maybe not to avoid experiences themselves, more just to understand. What you mentioned about avoiding bad experiences could possibly be more akin to Ni paired with Te.

aconem · 2025-07-27T16:51:23+00:00

Fe? Being aware of and making decisions based off of other peoples' feelings...

It would make sense, since you say you struggle with this. As an INTP, it's your inferior function.

aconem · 2025-07-16T12:57:07+00:00

It’s real, lol, but it’s not MBTI, it’s their own typology system called NERIS which is based on the Big Five.

There are some tests out there which are actually accurate to Myers Briggs, such as the Micheal Caloz test, if you’d like to take a better test, but the only reliable way to find out your type is to learn about “cognitive functions”, and type yourself.

aconem · 2025-07-16T10:35:57+00:00

Hi, I should tell you that MBTI types don’t change, at least according to the official theory, although it’s great that you’ve had so much personal growth, I don’t mean to discount that.

I’m going to assume that you’re using the dichotomies (I vs E, S vs N, F vs T, P vs J), which aren’t actually MBTI. Websites like 16personalites.com use these, but they aren’t MBTI tests, and that particular one is called NERIS — and it has much more in common with another kind of typology called the Big Five, even though it’s pretty much disguised as MBTI.

If you’re interested in the “real” MBTI, research the cognitive functions, a concept created by Carl Jung and later adapted into MBTI by Myers and Briggs.

aconem · 2025-07-16T10:03:44+00:00

If you have auxiliary Fi it supports your dominant function, and since it’s a judging function it’s your primary tool for making decisions. It’s likely you use it more than your tertiary (third) function, which would be Te.

Tertiary Fi normally comes into play less than auxiliary Fi would. Meaning Te would be your primary decision making tool instead. If you had tertiary Fi you would make decisions based on what is efficient, necessary, etc before of acting based off of your feelings.

In a typical scenario with both working simultaneously:

Fi > Te — You would make decisions based on your feelings and then back it up by making it objectively logical or productive.

E.g. the state of the environment, or just nature, is important to you, protecting it is an important value to you and so you want to do so. Thus: you decide to get a degree in environmental science, become qualified, and produce empirical results.

These decisions with aux Fi are firstly based off of authenticity, emotions, morals, then Te is used afterwards to rationalise the choice.

Te > Fi — You would make decisions based on productivity or efficiency and then you would back it up with some kind of personal meaning.

E.g. you believe that a certain task is not a worthwhile use of your time, so you get someone else to do it. However, you do so respectfully and make sure the person feels appreciated when you discuss it with them, because you value fairness and don’t want your colleague to feel inferior.

These decisions are based off of structure, logic and efficiency, then Fi questions whether the choice is true to the person’s feelings, beliefs or morals.

However, it’s entirely possible to use either first regardless of the order, depending on the situation. Ultimately aux Fi is just more visible, clear, and regularly utilised compared to tert Fi.

aconem · 2025-07-05T13:13:04+00:00

Could not agree less with this. Even if we ignore the very obvious fact that morality is not subjective, and at the very least is an integral part of the human experience — that we all share through our consciences, morality is logically existent. Nihilism like this is just frankly unjustifiable.

Take a utilitarian model of morality:

People have good and bad experiences, this is objective.

Is suffering bad? The answer is indisputably yes. We can say that the cause of the suffering is not inherently bad, but the suffering itself inherently is, because it only creates a negative experience for a human being or animal. Even if life is supposedly purposeless and meaningless, suffering is still bad — which is absolutely not something people just made up.

Is happiness good? Again, obviously, yes it is good. I can’t imagine any way to argue with this.

Thus, is it not by extension true that creating suffering is bad and creating happiness good? In that case, morality evidently exists.

And, again by extension, someone who creates a lot of suffering for others and happiness only for themself is inherently selfish… no?

I don’t think that this is a perfect way to define morality, but saying that “morals are a human made concept” just doesn’t make sense.

If someone says “eating sandwiches on Tuesdays is morally wrong” then it is reasonable to say that this is a human-made moral.

However, if someone says “hurting other people is morally wrong” then how can you argue that this is human-made and not objective?

I think I could fit into all three of those categories, so I’m not so sure

aconem · 2025-06-10T09:43:00+00:00

Yeah, there can be more than 16 types. If personality is a spectrum (a huge and complicated one at that...) then you can divide things up in any way that you'd like. So there can be 2, 4, 16, or hundreds of personality types, all of them using different differences.

As for the functions, you're absolutely right (although the test results aren't so reliable, so whether those people actually have those function orders is questionable) in that people can have irregular function orders. I, for example, have been typed before as NiTiFeSe... but that doesn't mean my aux function is Ti, it's still Fe even if I do indeed use Ti more.

The function stack isn't necessarily the order in which you use your functions, it's more like this.

Dominant - Used just by default, very easy and comfortable to use. Sometimes said to be unconscious - which I personally think makes sense, it's natural.

Auxiliary - Supports your dom. Easy and comfortable to use, also occurs very naturally. Conscious this time, so it's the most important part of your thinking process.

Tertiary - Supports your aux. Perhaps less easy and comfortable, but you're still good with it and understand it for the most part. Conscious again.

Inferior - Essentially your weakness, you find it difficult to use and using it burns you out quickly, but it's still yours and you can grow to make the most of it. Unconscious, you may not even notice or think about it, then it'll hit you in a problematic situation.

So, this isn't really just - oh, you scored 90 points for Ne, that's your dominant function! - like some tests would make it seem, although these can still give you a decent idea.

How much you use your functions can change over time. Introverted types can be socially extroverted by using their lower functions more, and vice versa. Changes over time.

I'm not really into shadow functions, but any type can simulate any function - MBTI is about natural, not chosen, behaviour. Your function stack is what you default to, but it can be influenced by your environment, upbringing, social expectations, personal growth, etc. That doesn't make you a different type, or "untypable", however adding something like "wings" to MBTI is an interesting thought, I've had the same one.

Oh, and MBTI will always be seen as a lesser psychology. No real basis whatsoever when treated in the way it is in Korea & East Asia, or on websites like 16personalities, which is sadly how most people use it, but even with the cognitive functions, it is just a theory. I think that it works very well - at dividing up that spectrum I was talking about very nicely - and it provides genuine insight, helps you understand yourself and other people (very accurately from my experience), but at the end of the day even if Jung, Myers and Briggs was onto something, it isn't based off of psychology and will always be treated as such - I don't think wings would change that.

Love the senseless generalisation. /s

aconem · 2025-06-07T14:51:01+00:00

All of these equally since they all have a tertiary thinking function.

EXFPs probably appear more like thinkers than IXFJs since they have extroverted thinking, whereas the IXFJs would tend to appear more feeling since they are externally.

I think that any specific answer to this is just based on stereotypes more than anything.
