would not have been Mill as we know him today, and his work (if he still chose to philosophize) would reflect a different style of rumination and valuing--had he been an SJ7 most likely valued religion and other traditions as the sole source of morality as well as (in the case of religion) its being sanctioned by omnipotent powers (as reason and coherence aren't as valued). judges and individuals, we need only apply the same formula we used when discussing Kant. By looking at the sixteen types, we determine that only a select group of them will have the personality that is required to fit Mill's morally judges. We can also determine that a well rounded IQ of > 140 is most likely needed for those with the most corresponding personality types to be fully intelligent and capable of moral judging and action.

[Mill 1979, pg. 13]) we come to the same number of eligible individuals as found in our formulation for Kant's "rational beings" ~60,000. What we can infer, logically, from this is that the personality of Mill and Kant are similar, even though their specific philosophies may differ. As both Kant and Mill are both NTs (and more specifically ~INTPs), it is understandable that in their philosophies, they both highly value the same specific personality and intelligence as they are only reflecting their perspective in their philosophy--who they are. |
