Someone asked why Wittgenstein is INFJ,
Here's a couple of quotes from Rudolf Carnap's autobiography:

"His point of view and his attitude toward people and problems, even theoretical problems, were much more similar to those of a creative artist than to a scientist; one might almost say, similar to those of a religious prophet or seer."
(Indicates Ni dom)

"At our very first meeting with Wittgenstein, Schlick unfortunately mentioned that I was interested in the problem of an international language like Esperanto. As I had expected, Wittgenstein was definitely opposed to this idea. But I was surprised by the vehemence of his emotions. A language which had not “grown organically” seemed to him not only useless but despicable."
(Indicates preference of feeling rather than thinking.)

Another example of an INFJ-philosopher would be Dostoevsky,
I remember reading some quote by him saying "I can't read philosophy, but I feel philosophy" (or similar)
His ability to "feel philosophy" I would assume is a strong dominant Ni, and his inability to "read philosophy" indicates undeveloped thinking function.
