I'm confused about the INTP votes. Dom Ti is about systems and rules, but for introverted/individualistic subjects, not for societal order. Imposing a greater system on people collectively is Te/Fe. An INTP would be thinking about the underlying principles of things for knowledge purpose, and generate open world views with Ne. They would make their own systems, and help individuals make their own systems, but never make a system and pressure others to follow it. They would be the first to detest traditional and functional means to control how individuals should behave. INTPs do have Fe but it's not a primary concern to them, at least not to the point where they have to construct a system to manage it.
Biography
'Confucius' (September 28, 551 BC – 479 BC) is the name given to an extremely influential Chinese philosopher who lived in the 6th century BC. After his death, his teachings were compiled in a work known in the English-speaking world as the Analects of Confucius (Traditional: 論語; Simplified: 论语; Pinyin: Lún Yǔ, lit. "discussion over (Confucius') words" — though "analects" means "a collection of excerpts from a literary work" and is thus an inaccurate translation). The name "Confucius" comes from the 16th century Latin translation of the Analects by the Jesuit scholar Matteo Ricci, who introduced him to the Catholic world. The Mandarin is Kǒng zǐ (孔子; "Master Kong") or Kǒng Fūzǐ (孔夫子 "Grand Master Kong"). He is known as 'Koshi' in Japan. In Chinese tradition, his names are (in Hanyu Pinyin) Qiū (丘, his given name or míng) and Zhòngní (仲尼, his courtesy name or zì, and almost never used by his disciples). (Yes, you can call him "Johnny Kong" if you want to be utterly informal.)
