Things would be "true/false" even if there were no people here to judge good/bad.
This is exactly what a Ti user would say. Ironically, Ti and Fi users both tend to think their internal judgments are "objective", when in fact neither is. It is just as obvious to an Fi-er that his idea of right/wrong exists as an inherent property of the universe as it is to a Ti user that his idea of true/false does, but both good/bad and true/false are arbitrary constructs born purely of human interpretation.
I have difficulty accepting the subjectivity of my own logic as well, but at the end of the day all Ti reasoning is arbitrary and internal. If it's uninfluenced by external conditions, it's subjective, regardless of whether or not it's based on personal emotions.
The use of the terms subjective/objective in that MBTI test question is erroneous--just another mistake in a poorly designed testing system for a concept that can't be tested empirically. When they say subjective/objective, they really mean personal/impersonal, which is not the same thing. The use of "subjective vs. objective" as a description of F vs. T is a common error, but an error nonetheless. Ti's judgments are less personal and less emotional, but that doesn't make them any more objective than Fi's.
