My understanding is that your type is an innate part of you, something you are born with. Nature, not nurture.
Possible causes for traits we were born with:
1. Genetic
2. Mystic explanation. It is part of your soul.
3. Environmental condition while we were in the womb, medications our mother took, etc.
4. Other: I can't think of any other right now, but I am open to suggestions.
For right now I want to discuss the genetic possibility. This seems to suggest that your letters would match one or more of your parents letters. For example: If one parent was N and the other was S, you could be either one. If both parents were S, you should be S. But maybe it is more complicated then that. Maybe N is recessive or traits skip a generation. Maybe you are not like either of your parents, but you are like one of your granparents.
Would genetics explain why the majority of women are F and the majority of men are T? There are some traits/conditions that are recessive in females but not males, such as colorblindness. Could T and F work like that? Maybe T is recessive for females and F is recessive for males.
