Ni: Strictly speaking this guy (not Kant) was the founder of the philosophical movement known as German idealism. Kant wrote about dialectic but treated it as a mere illusion. It was him who used the seemingly self-contradictory notion that the ego set the objective world that does not belong to himself to "overcome" Kant's thesis that pure reason cannot see thing-in-itself and his 3 principles of Wissenschaftslehre was the prototype of Hegel's thesis - anti-thesis - synthesis. In his later years he converted to mysticism. Weyl once compared him with Edmund Husserl (whose philosophy was quite close to his) and discovered that Husserl was rather meticulous and attending to details while he applied mystic intuitions and jumped in his arguments frequently. It is strange that this community identifies Husserl as an Ni Dom while identifies him as a Ti Dom. Fe: He was the most successful public lecturer among great philosophers and his notions of the duty of rational beings, and especially the scholars to others had an obvious Fe trait. His primary goal was not to set up a speculative system but to affect the society (that was similar to Marx). He was known to be stubborn and intolerant to the ideas that were different from himself's and was always in conflicts with others. It is weird to put him in the same category as Descartes, Kant and Einstein. In fact, I cannot imagine a more typical INFJ than him.
