Someone in the INFP forum posed the question of how they as a INFP might have been born from an ISTJ father and a ISFJ mother. I interpreted their question to be is MBTI genetic? I've been wondering this for a long time. I've had a working theory about this. I'm not at all sure if it actually holds up or not, so I thought I would make a thread and see if it really might? My theory is (assuming MBTI could be genetic):
E=dominate
i=recessive
S=Dominate
n=recessive
T=Dominate (Y chromosome), recessive on ( X chromosome)
F=Dominate ( X chromosome), recessive on ( Y chromosome)
to present as: TT or Tf for male Y chromosomes and FF or Ft for females X chromosomes
J= Dominate
p= recessive
For me, I had an ISTJ father and an INFP mother. I am INFP. My parents would need to be the following:
Both ii to = I for me
Father S dominate and recessive n (Sn) (donating recessive n) and mother (nn) to = N for me.
Father Tf donating f to me or T (but because I'm female T would be recessive for me), and mother either FF or Ft donating F or t to = FF or Ft for me.
Father dominate J with recessive p to donate p to me and mother pp to = P for me.
More or less I'm just curious if this could actually hold true across the MBTI lines. I can only think this out to a certain point. I'm certain there is someone out there who can find where this might not hold up. You're the person I'm looking for. Help me figure out where this either does or does not work please?
