In a meeting room with 100 members of Mensa, you will probably run into sixteen ENFPs, eleven INTPs, eleven ISTJs, and ten INFPs. ), you will find that they are mostly all introverted intuitive thinkers, with some feelers and with equal J/P. Not everyone wants influence, but most people want contentment. Because its't A LOT more complicated than N's and S's. The I's are more independent than the E's. That is why early on I defined smart as something like influence as opposed to sheer technical ability. And these broad blanket statements and generalisations? It's just a random data without ANY backing. The 6 Smartest Myers-Briggs Personality Types, Experts Say, The 7 Kindest Myers-Briggs Personality Types, Experts Say, The 5 Most Trustworthy Myers-Briggs Personality Types, Experts Say. Surely there is no correlation there Hey, so is the author of this article an INTP? I'm also basically useless. You sound like a typical ISTJ, no offence. There is a reason the scientific method is used, it gives the most accurate model of reality and truth because a scientist is willing to factor in every scrap of evidence that supports AND negates his theory to develop the most accurate theory. My own Stanford-Binet test in Seventh Grade did include sections for evaluation of leadership abilities and hobby interests. I end up doing this goofy test about twice a year and never know which I'll be. The I's don't get their energy from the E's. "They are intelligent in the sense that they can learn to do anything that requires creation or building without much guidance.". I am an INTJ myself, and I have a friend who is an INTP. I would say the same about a varying mix of Es and Fs versus Is and Ts. Some people call it complexity science. Honestly, we don't really know how Donna is so smart. Isn't it so subjective? Once you come to that understanding, you will see that it is impossible to discern which specific cognitive functions contribute most to intelligence. Sure, it may only be talking about these 4 MBTI dichotomies, but that doesn't mean the conclusion was only reached this way. Let's start by breaking things into categories. Also your considering the letters that MBTI uses but not the actual cognitive functions. if( navigator.sendBeacon ) { How would you objectively rate intelligence? Not only does that pretty much prove how stupid the idea of "types" is (given how wildly different the descriptions for ESTP and INTP are), it's also a great balance, I guess, because I get all the perks of being one of those godly genius INTPs while at the same time I can drive and get things done with my life, without feeling the need to blog about how much smarter I am than everyone else because of some stupid personality test HR gave me. ESTP - Your nonchalance. When others take 20 minutes to figure something new, you take 5 minutes to do so, and its new to you too. A score lower than 30 is considered to be on the autism spectrum and cause for concern. I think intelligence is, as you've stated, a lot more complex than a simple dichotomy, but there are obvious traits that society in general determine as smart. Mammals can learn and make decisions based on what they learned. So what is actually going on? So I didn't just only use MBTI to be like, oh look, he's why some people are intelligent. Socionics and MBTI are pretty closely related (I think. Well, I don't know what you decided to define as "dumb" or "intelligent", but if you refer to IQ, I'm INFJ and my IQ is 148. Perhaps not the smartest, but definitely the most influential. Go on, I dare you. Hopefully this article will provide some insight. But I suspect his IQ is high despite his M-B profile. For you to think T/F is nearly as/as important in defining intelligence as N/S implies really you have no clue what you're talking about. In our case it's pretty clear that the INTJ is the smartest. INTP: Loss of respect for ethics in the pursuit of scientific knowledge. Smart and refuses to give up until he proves it to himself and the world :). The INTJ is thought as having an edge due to their logical reasoning and the way they can see patterns and fix things. Idealist organizers, ENFJs are energetic and often overextended. Then you'll have the ability to judge. I could see the two being a tie. My N score is consistently around 85%. T's are generally more mechanical and technical. So, if anything, going by your "logic" P would be the second-most important factor in "determining" intelligence, not the least. Regarding your question about EQ, ENFJs and INFJs dominate in this area. They are brilliant, strategic leaders who are highly motivated and enjoy hard work. In addition you're using MBTI when the MBTI does no actual research on the Jungain personality types unlike these people http://cognitivetype.com . There are geniuses in every personality type and idiots in every personality type as well. I'm not trying to back up INTPs here or anything, however, INFJs deserve to be much lower than they actually are on the ranking. Props to you. To another it may be mechanical. I'm surprised people actually talk about this kind of stuff. An introverted feeler is going to bring in greater accuracy than an extroverted thinker. Don't allow your emotions to dictate your perception of theory and speculation. What kind of intelligence are we talking about here? You're biased! Wow. The analysis should deal with the cognitive functions and not the letters. I think each type and function has it's own unique brand of intelligence you know? MTBI stands for the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. From Myers-Briggs 16 personality types to the 9 Intelligence types identified by Howard Gardner, it has become apparent that overall intelligence combines traits and experiences. 3. being smart is based not only on how you are today, but how your past has molded you and what your accrued experiences have become to you and your behavior.

There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data. ENTPs are idea people. They prefer situations with a defined hierarchical command structure. I've known brilliant INFJ's, ESFP's, and ISTP's. ISTPs are observant of detail and have a love of troubleshooting problems. If you want to base it on logical and analytical ability, then it's probably the INTP, yet they have a tendency to be exceedingly lazy. Introverts are most likely to spend time by themselves studying stuff. How's that for ENTP; basically "I say reverse-engineer IQ tests!" They utilize strong powers of observation to assess their surroundings and adapt, which may explain their natural athletic ability. If you're someone who always has a counter-point for why your theory is wrong, then your theory probably isn't a model of reality but rather a comforting conclusion. So that, I think that many agree INFP and INFJ are the so most unpredictable type, expecially INFP. This is a tricky one because they both have pros and cons. These people are "born to lead by default," Puglisi says. And the INFJ is the rarest of personality traits. There so many wrong, incomplete and ilogical assumptions in this article that is hard to know from wich one should we start to comment/correct. Feeling, and Judging vs. Many include the sensing and feeling aspects of personality. The only reason I put them lower than the INTJs is becuase they spend alot of time with people, having fun and influencing people, which wastes time. The information that Ive seen seems to link the design of IQ tests with traits more common in intuitives, specifically those with dominant extraverted intuition (as opposed to the introverted intuition used by INTJs). As an INFP this is the first time I've ever heard a real appreciation for the perceiving types. Animals share the emotional traits that humans possess, but they don't share the reasoning traits.

They just want security. Does your intuition tell you that is likely? I wonder if NFs would come up on top in a study that involves EQ. They share the same rational approach to finding conclusions, but like the S/N relationship, ENT's are like an S when it comes to precision and putting it all together. I discovered this site today and was exited to find that i wasn't alone in my views but this shit is crazy. For example he mentioned on how F and T can be tyed 50 / 50 but went with T in comparison that pets can love but can't reason like human beings can. It's damning! Is it Introverted Thinking? Not with the MBTI types, that's for sure. If you were basing this on influential, then surely E types should get a higher ranking. TL;DR Intelligence comes in many different forms, you might rate it as you wish, but your rating will be greatly influenced by the way you and only you see things. - INTP/ISTP: Most logically realistic, I don't know why you're going off of letters thats retarded.

I put them higher than the ESFJ because they are more quick on their feet. ENTJ: Thirst for world domination fueled by lust for power. I'd agree with your conclusion on that thinkers are more "smart" than feelers in this context, however, as strong emotions are far more easily arised from ethical evaluation, which is subjective by nature. Same with introversion and intelligence. And I forgive you for having answered so late. They think very carefully before they speak and when they speak it is limited. They like rules, valuing predictability, degrading artistic license, or adaptability. It's how we interpret the information that comes into our minds. Perhaps I'm one of those who's most in the clouds. ESTJs are hardworking traditionalists and consummate organizers thriving on details. 2.

Its not smart to procrastinate. Because, although an INTP may be much smarter than the other types, they generally lack social skills, as do the other NT types, as a general rule. In fact, this is one of the most thought provoking articles I've read. Outliers are there, and many people may bitch about this, and get butthurt/offended through taking things waaaay too personally. Well, I am anyway because that's how they break ties (for I and N over E and S), seeing as on the official test I scored dead even for both E/I and N/S. -I divided the traits based on feelings This can be a pointer to intelligence. The MBTI just isn't accurate enough and can only tell you about the way people might prefer to do things, it can not estimate intelligence because even the concept of intelligence is biased by what you think it is. Haha man you are either blind or you just troll? I do think that the author does a good job with his approach. Those are INTP and ISTP. First off im intj. These strong and weak functions make these types rather academic, there isn't much application of their intelligence in the real world. And therefore - no data / no good. Can an intelligent person pretend to be unintelligent? They commonly work in religion, teaching, and the arts. Intelligence.. shall we break it down ?

The other letters really matter a lot, lot less. This combination is the fourth most common type 9% of the general population, with slightly more women than men. 9. They revel on manipulating systematic structures. NTs tend to use their critical thinking for deductive and inductive reasoning. ISFJ- The second to bottom, I put them higher than the ESFP because they know what to do in certain situations, they are sensible like the ISTJs but they know how to heal a person to health, in everyway. And feelers aren't stupid. N's are almost always more influential than S's. This is probably the result that for all analysts (NT) their feeling is hidden deep within. These personality traits, introvert, intuitive, and thinking, tend to excel in areas that define intelligence or aspects measured by traditional IQ tests: abstract conceptual logic and problem-solving. Very well said, and when viewing this on the basis of the functions I would have to agree with you. For example, INFP's have an edge over all types in linguistic intelligences (writing, foreign languages, vocabulary), but are absolutely abysmal with planning and verbal fluidity. Here's what the actress has to say about her work on the famous spy show. Why don't we talk Chakras?

"The ENTJ can take in many sources of information and apply it to create a big-picture theory that can be applied to a long term vision," she says, adding that Apple founderSteve Jobsis among some of the most famous ENTJs. To put it in video game terms, it's like a weapon upgrade. They are just not very good when it comes to storing long-term factual data or working things out. 10. Even if an extroverted thinker is using reason, the way they are focusing and putting the data together may be lacking due to the extroversion. ;) i have many INTx friends (also members of mensa) whose average IQ is between 130-163. Perhaps it may sound idealistic of me but perhaps it could even be a tool that could help us understand one another and ourselves just that one step closer to world peace maybe. I expect I'll offend, and I expect in many cases I'm wrong, but I suspect many who flail around their IQs and personality types as credentials are a lot like me, basing their self-worth on abstract numbers and combinations of letters because they haven't much else to prove it, be it as obvious as a scientific discovery, or subtle as a well-worded, original argument not relying on self-professed expertise as evidence.
