I love how strong Ti philosophers are prone to analytical philosophy. Seems like he's most likely an INTP, because among his works and quotes, I couldn't find much pointing to dominant Ni (I say this for possibility of INFJ). Also I believe these quotes show his strong Ti: -"Every good mathematician is at least half a philosopher, and every good philosopher is at least half a mathematician." -"'Facts, facts, facts,' cries the scientist if he wants to emphasize the necessity of a firm foundation for science. What is a fact? A fact is a thought that is true. But the scientist will surely not recognize something which depends on men's varying states of mind to be the firm foundation of science." And this is absolutely Ne, instead of Ni: - "I do not begin with concepts and put them together to form a thought or judgement; I come by the parts of a thought by analysing the thought."
Biography
Friedrich Ludwig Gottlob Frege (b. 1848, d. 1925) was a German mathematician, logician, and philosopher who worked at the University of Jena. Frege essentially reconceived the discipline of logic by constructing a formal system which, in effect, constituted the first ‘predicate calculus’. To ground his views about the relationship of logic and mathematics, Frege conceived a comprehensive philosophy of language that many philosophers still find insightful. However, his lifelong project, of showing that mathematics was reducible to logic, was not successful. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/frege/
