Please define "fundamentalist." That's a word that's mostly used as a pejorative today.
Properly speaking, "fundamentalist" means someone who believes in miracles, the Resurrection, the Deity of Christ, the Virgin Birth, etc. (the fundamentals of the Christian faith).
The Church has always (until modern times) been "fundamentalist," and personality types or thinking styles have never affected that.
By "Fundamentalist" I am referring to people who reject any attribute, feeling or notion about God or Christianity that is not explicitly stated in the bible... An example would be that it is absolutely sinful to own slaves. If someone feels like it is absolutely sinful to own slaves, but it is not explicitly stated as such in the bible, then to believe so is the opposite of Christian Fundamentalism.
