Wolfremic humorology - based loosely on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

Four of the humors involved in Wolfremic humorology are based on the four introverted cognitive functions.  The others, if more are created, have yet to finalize their inspiration.

Upon beginning the project of Wolfram: A Gothic Parable, I had already determined that the "adamant" (adamantine: an indestructible building material in Greek mythology, used in the Gates of Tartarus) humor was the substance that made the Wolfrim what they are.  However, I thought later that one particular ability was too limiting to the characterization available to me.

Since Karsten and Isolda both have the adamant feature (the ability to manipulate one's own inertia or virtual mass) I determined that their dominant function Fi (introverted feeling) should be associated with them.

The following are some tentative notes for how I developed the humors created so far.  I apologize for the structure.  I may revise them later for readability.


Resolute humor - Ni1 - INxJ - When activated, only excessive force or exhaustion of the humor can stop them from accomplishing a goal.

Dutiful humor - Si1 - ISxJ - produces an inobligate ability to coordinate with the nearest authoritative cause without the help of verbal/visual/physical communication.


Planner’s trait - Te2 - IxTJ - behind-the-scenes leader

Advocate’s trait - Fe2 - IxFJ - behind-the-scenes helper


Resolute Planner - Ni1/Te2/Fi3/Se4 - INTJ - Director Natalie Löwe-Kesling (Semperfort-Wolfram)

Resolute Advocate - Ni1/Fe2/Ti3/Se4 - INFJ - character not invented

Dutiful Planner - Si1/Te2/Fi3/Ne4 - ISTJ - character not invented

Dutiful Advocate - Si1/Fe2/Ti3/Ne4 - ISFJ - character not invented


Astute humor - Ti1 - IxTP - Unlimited focus, able to produce epiphanies almost on demand.

Adamant humor - Fi1 - IxFP - Ability to manipulate one’s own virtual mass or inertia.


Wordsmith’s trait - INxP - Ne2/Si3 - focuses on words and concepts, relays pertinent information discreetly

Sentinel’s trait - ISxP - Se2/Ni3 - observes present situation keenly and reports pertinent details propmtly
