Free will is an illusion. So is MBTI.
At any rate, OP is nonsensical:
Being "Fi-dom" is about your personal preferences.
Preferences are about what you want to do.
I think of the functions as natural inclinations like sexual orientation, we can freely choose whether to act on our sexual orientation or not.
Under some circumstances it might be beneficial to ignore/deny our orientation but to do that for too long is likely to leave you feeling trapped an unfulfilled, just like mbti.
I find that the more I learn about JCF, enneagram, mbti, etc... The more easily I can parse why I make the decisions I do, or react the way I do. At times it feels like it's less about what I want to do and more about "well, I'm a Fi-Dom, so of course I will do x."
Does this make sense? I'm hoping for discussion from others with their own thoughts and experiences about themselves.
It no more precludes free will than deciding upon A precludes "not A".I find that the more I learn about JCF, enneagram, mbti, etc...

a poor comparison. an INFP using Te is completely different from a homosexual man having sex with a woman. while the actual act itself is possible, it is impossible to choose which gender you are attracted to unless you are bisexual (only a complete imbecile would try and choose to be homosexual, though sadly, I've known a few that did, like they thought it was something that goes in and out of style lol). it is natural for an INFP to use some Te; it's just like a naturally weaker muscle that needs to be grown (that INFP is not going to be able to do what Gordon Gekko does lol). if we're going to use sexual preference as a comparison, it's really more like a bisexual woman who was 80% attracted to women and 20% attracted to men, but grew her preference for men.
.....the bisexual woman that is 80% attracted to woman and 20% attracted to men also CANNOT grow her preferences for men (or women). You can't force who you're attracted to. In the same way you said before about homosexuality.
Yes it does.
Yesterday I wanted to go to bed at 11 o'clock like I planned, but I couldn't make myself do it because ENTPs are not supposed to be good at sticking to a schedule.
So I went to bed 5 minutes later.
MBTI is a form of hypnosis. And it is even more powerful because it is a form of group hypnosis.
And under hypnosis our critical mind goes to sleep and we become suggestible and so we lose our free will.
And as MBTI is based on no empirical evidence, it must be maintained by group bullying.
And the price of group bullying is that some individuals will be driven to suicide.
