Look up famous ISTJ scientists and philosophers. He’s seem to be a huge Ni dominate in my eyesĬognitive functions are meaningless to me. (This comment might read as hostile but it's not at all, it's just frank.) Even more so in male INFJs where the T is more pronounced. Maybe you’ve not met many INFJs in this state but they will look cold when they do that. I’m female and I don’t placate to feelings when I’m trying to bring across a point that holds true to me. We can be incredibly straightshooting too when it’s important.

Plus it’s not necessary that you have to be outwardly emotional to be a feeler. We’re good with facts and citations if it is employed towards identifying and understanding a broader development. A sensor will be much less interested in the kind of abstract, obscure insights and predictions that Chomsky puts out. Fe to understand feelings of the masses, Ti to dissect the reasons and causes behind them, and Ni to predict change. It’s a very Fe/Ti rather than Te/Fi way of analysis. His topics very much revolve around social classes and their interactions, if you go thru his work you realise he uses terms like ‘broad sentiment’ and ‘culture’ to bring across his points a lot, ‘there was this broad sentiment of etc etc that led to this change etc etc’. He uses Se facts to support trends his Ni observes, not the other way round. INFJs use facts and data too you know, not as an end in and of themselves but to back up observed trends. I think he's mis-typed as an INFJ because of the bias toward Intuition, and because a conscience is confused with F. He doesn't seem to care about being spontaneous much. Judging (J) because he's very organised and planned, orderly. Just because you're affable and care about people doesn't make you an F. He often refers to values (like freedom, decency, democracy, human development) and I think people mistake this and his affable nature for F. He pretty much never makes appeals to emotion. If you ask him something he'll tell you exactly what he thinks without beating around the bush. He's a really nice guy but he doesn't do pleasantries. Thinking (T) because Chomsky deals pretty much exclusively with logic. He's NOT an N just because he's capable of abstract thought! His overall point emerges from the examples.

He won't just give you the gist, but who said it, where, and when. Fact, fact, example, historical reference, source citation, example, example, in fine detail. He is very concrete and doesn't like highfalutin theorising. Listen to any speech or interview (and certainly anything he writes). Sensing (S) because Chomsky is all about facts and data. Introverted (I) is obvious, he doesn't come across as extroverted at all, he's quite reserved, etc. I've seen Noam Chomsky typed as an INFJ on MBTI lists before.
