| Which type tends to be the most nihilistic of the 16 types? By nihilistic I mean someone who : Believes existence is meaningless no matter if it is temporary or everlasting. The philosophical concept of the ultimate truth is either none-existent or unattainable. There is no absolute good and evil. Is an atheist or agnostic. -- The last pope |

A1 This could be off, but maybe   ? Dominant introverted irrationality creates an indigestion of introverted rational functions and their products, hence "absolute truth nonexistent or unattainable" (crap  ) and "no absolute good and evil" (crap  ). Primary  types theoretically would usually succeed at at least enjoying life by going for the sensory pleasures it allegedly offers, so they should not be particularly likely to suffer from a perceived meaninglessness. The awareness of one´s personal lifes impermanence, the awareness of just being less than a drop of water in the ocean, of time/universe having existed for an unimaginably long period of and it going to exist on eternally once one is dead - would that not be an dominant´s daily bread? Also, creative  will at least make you able to enjoyably emotionally connect with other people, while creative just leaves you with having to deal with cold, internally unconnected external facts, making you naturally fit for business, production, administration and other boring ****. Besides that, my perception of ILI as the most nihilistic may just have to do with my experience with this type... Life IS meaningless. The phisical world exists, it must have its rules, and the rules which are at work, and everything this working manifests itself in, it exists surely exists regardless of wehther we can see it or not, and one can attempt to shape what one manages to see into theories telling truth. The problem is: man´s brain can´t take all of that, can it? But good and evil? All there is is physical reality, and from physical reality, which is so blind and cruel and without direction, how can a concept of Good and Evil be deduced from it that would NOT be a purely artificial something that some people may to force upon reality although it is clearly never going to work, because the rules just don´t allow for it? All there is is the chaos of physical reality with its rules, and embedded within that reality, will and conflicts of will. That´s it. What happens, happens, regardless how tragic, how much pain it causes to anyone. The notion of "meaning" hidden in this is completely inconceivable to me. What the hell is meaning? Something is, or it isn´t. How can there be something third? For instance, a judgement like "this shouldn´t be" that isn´t subjective, that everyone could aggree on? And even if everyone aggreed, what of it? What if some alien spiecies invades and disagrees? Besides that, humanity is just a fart in the wind anyway, only time will be eternal... Damn, I´ve went a bit crazy right now... if I could believe Heaven wasn´t empty, I´d pray. That nihilism You outlined in Your Question, is it Yours too, Last Pope? You´re sure not alone, if this is so. May You find solace... -- some psycho, boardmember ( some other "psycho" posted in Q&A in the past I think; there shall not be any confusions or accusations of imposting) |
| A2 i would guess an INTp becuase agnostic turly appeals to someone who can think over the course of time that it is indeed no way of knowing that whether god exists or not. -- Jas |
| A3 Whichever type you are, it would appear. My guess would be INTx. -- Anonymous |

| A4 I fit the description in the question perfectly. -- Vlad - INTj |
| A5 INTp; then possibly INFp. -- Anonymous |
| A6 I have an ENFP friend that is quite nihilistic. -- Anonymous |
| A7 I don't think there's a type that would be very likely to embody the views you listed, in general, most people do live by a certain code, or at least believe in one, if not we'd be living in chaos. With atheism/agnosticism, as with any belief system, they can be found in everyone of the types. I do think certain types tend to have different reasons for their beliefs, as well as likely practice/promote them differently, though -- An INFj |
| A8 I knew an INxP with OCD who claimed to be a nihilist for many years before he committed suicide. (Yet, he affirmed good and evil by way of his frequent moral judgments, and expressive outrages over minor issues.) -- Anonymous |
