I think that there is a space for political correctness in certain forms. The use of similes and metaphors alone requires creative critical thinking because of the connection between two seemingly unrelated things or ideas. Who knew that a test comprised mostly of theoretical questions would cause an intuitive bias hmmm, Visual shape analysis and logic steps are not theoretical. INFP-A / INFP-T Poetic, kind and altruistic people, always eager to help a good cause. ESTJs are the eleventh most intelligent personality type. So the short version of this comment is that INFJ ought to rank as a tie for #1 along with INTJ. We carry out what the "background philosophers" dream about. So does that person become that much smarter by reason of how (or perhaps how strongly) they answer that question? Why not only have cognitive functions? Damn! I wonder if NFs would come up on top in a study that involves EQ. I put them higher than the ESFJ because they are more quick on their feet. -This analysis is inaccurate, yet somehow okay, but full of flaws There's an ESFP out there who's smarter than you. Introverts are most likely to spend time by themselves studying stuff. } else { I know this is eons old now, but great article. I am an INTP so I am theoretically flattered, and would tend to agree. If I had to give one an edge I would give a slight edge to P's as they are generally more involved with abstract things which are more primary and closer to a first cause than the more physical and real world things. Fe Fi and Se are the least intelligent functions. It's always one of the two, and it makes me think that there's probably really not that much difference. I must say I really enjoyed the way you came to your conclusions. So intuatives are generally more intrested in learning than sensors. Your email address will not be published. They exhibit pleasant and sociable traits but can be impatient. INFPs comprise 5% of women and 4% of men. Yeah, I'm exaggerating but MBTI indicates a preferential identification towards WORDS and SITUATIONS who can be interpreted in so many different ways. INTPs are philosophical innovators fascinated by logical analysis, systems, and universal theory. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. His reasoning is forced. The I's get their energy on their own. And that is also why IQ tests are just one piece of intelligence. 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. - INTP/ENTP: Most "genius" (By far the best at scientific studies, observing inconsistancies, and technological fields) But i can say, SJ types are the least intelligent of all with several reasons : Some time of situational external influence that I'm not even aware of? I instead have lived life, taken in lots of experiences, data, feelings and the like, and then I've said, oh interesting, MBTI fits in well with these other things. It is the most common personality type in women and occurs in 14% of the population. I was consistently INTJ all of my life. I don't think you can just say "smartest". You're biased! Most coordinated I'm an INTJ so don't think I'm just an S raging about how stupid I am. or INTJ.. It seems Intjs are more focused and serious to their pursuit than intps. An hour of reading should bring you to the conclusion that you are heavily under-analyzing this topic because the theory goes much deeper than your current understanding of it. I have not looked at this websites editing policy but if you could back up your theories with some set in stone fact, than maybe I will come back and view this in a new light. - INTJ/INFJ: Most Abstract (Have by far the best forsight, and are the most consistant and motivated. According to the research, certain personality types have a head start on the road to the Nobel Prize or winning the lightning round of Jeopardy. Or an INTJ? As everyone is, for that matter. 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. 16. document.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value", ( new Date() ).getTime() ); Your email address will not be published. As you said F types can be very intelligent despite you prefering T over F. I can also argue that people who prefer S instead of N can also be very intelligent. "But for the purposes of this article we are going to measure smart as the influence one has over others and society". Many include the sensing and feeling aspects of personality. Pantheism wasn't just my answer, but a variable in an unknown equation. For example, if an ISFP grows up and his parents expose him to math, theory, and information a lot and it almost begins to be a family bonding thing, the kid will be much more analytical and display himself as an INTJ/INTP/ISTP to the outer world. I would put the smart P's and the smart J's pretty much in the same boat. Or should it be Extroverted Intuition? The only difference being they dont know what to do with things. We ABSOLUTELY LOVE complex logic puzzles, and critical thinking is no challenge to us. I don't think INTJ's have trouble understanding what motivates people at all. So though you admit to speaking in generalities, this analysis is hardly the truth. To break down the differences in type this way is a bit too superficial to be accurate. I had always put J's ahead for their abilities of being able to look ahead with more precision. And the INFJ is the rarest of personality traits. INFJs are smart, but idealists by no means hold a candle to rationals. For anyone confused by the graph, the researchers took 2 groups of people (a group of Gifted students and and a group of Normal students) and divided them by MBTI personality type. 1. On that note, for T/F I would argue that the highest aptitude for intelligence will be found somewhere in the middle. The two types which actually have Introverted Intuition as their primary functions are INTJ and INFJ only. 11. Yeah, great research guys, way to not be "biased". People with a preference for F doesn't mean they think less, and vice-versa, and it's also possible that yes, some think less, and vice-versa. People with this type are highly analytical, objective, and logical but able to adapt. Just go home. When it comes to actually turning that imagined thing into reality J's are great. Intjs are more likely to be virgins longer or die as virgins and invent practicle tools. How would you rank it? Those with who can find a balance between their logical and emotional reasoning when they make decisions are capable of solving a puzzle that many on either edge don't know how to attack. So if you want the quick way to find the intelligence of somebody just figure out if they are an S or an N. This will take care of most of it. These are all talents that allow for high IQ scores. Using IQ as the main basis for being smart or intelligent is just one measurement. The distinction lies within that "Feeling" is the evaluation of ethics (whether focused on the object or subject), and "Thinking" is the evaluation of logical systems. Here's the explanation. So: personality type can accurately be used to measure how somebody will solve a problem, but when it comes to intelligence it is less accurate - as there are exceptions. Do you honestly believe this yourself? Because these situations themselves vary too and will be quite different from the test. Also, of course there are going to be exceptions. Come one. But, you're stuck in a vacuum of confirmation bias and seem like an ST so you will stick to your guns no matter what, so I think I'm just wasting my time trying to show you the error of your ways. I discovered this site today and was exited to find that i wasn't alone in my views but this shit is crazy. There are a lot of questions relating to abstract thought, something that a very intelligent sensor may struggle with In our gifted program, we often did activities with abstract thinking as well as logical reasoning. 2. Extroverted, intuitive, feeling, and judging types are also among the most intelligent, Joseph Puglisi, CEO of Dating Iconic, explains. In actuality, they were the only tie on the list. Filling with enthusiasm, spontaneity, and impulsiveness, common careers for ENFPs include counseling, religion, arts, and teaching. I don't believe in IQ but I believe that I am dumb, I cant believe this post got tons of upvotes. Feeling, and Judging vs. Reasoning traits, in my opinion, are a higher end form of intelligence than emotion and therefore more akin towards being influential. You come off as an absolute idiot if you feel the need to attack someone over their analysis, their are several ways to interpret a set of data, just because it doesn't align with yours doesn't mean it's wrong and necessary for name calling. ENFPs taking over the world It turns out, in terms of sheer numbers, a person with a genius IQ is most likely to be an ENFP. Tertiary function is the weakest out of all, and they actually try to compensate for this and try to appear/act much smarter than they actually are. From what I have been able to observe, in all the years that I have known them, is that the INFJ is way smarter. They revel on manipulating systematic structures. - ExxJ: Most Manipulative/Leadership Smart. ENTP It's just inherently problematic. Which, granted, is correlated to MBTI N, but the correlation is far from perfect and there is a moderate correlation to P as well. >carry out what intps think Neither are SP types, but SP types, due to their tendency to just do whatever they want to do in life would still intentionally use their intelligence to support their desire. Here's a bit of where I stray: "The ESTJ has a gift for seeing what's happening around them (because of their sensing function) and making it more organized," she says. INTJs are the most effective super-geniuses, and ESFPs would probably be the most effective out of under-average minds. So that, I think that many agree INFP and INFJ are the so most unpredictable type, expecially INFP. I'm also basically useless. INFP Me: You know Bob quit his job and decided to . This isn't an in depth study. So, here is the big question. ENTP: Loss of respect for mankind in favor of the superiority of machines and technology. PPPS - That goes double for Mensa members. A score between 30 and 80 is considered normal. With personality types, as with everything in life, balance is essential. Get over yourself. INFJ's are best at knowing the emotional and spiritual world. This may seem like a rare case, but a case I see far more often is a NT growing up in a family of sensors. Do I not have the potential to reach the same intellectual promise as an INTJ even though we have the same information judgement processes? Also, the most basic form of MBTI(The tool you're using) cannot possibly decide the intelligence that they were born with or the hard work they put in in there life to become intelligent. >"control" 4. When it comes to creativity, which I believe should be another form of intelligence, Perceivers have an edge over Judging types , who prefer structure. Second of all, what validity the MBTI does have is derived from its correlations to an actual scientific model of personality - the Big Five. All Rights Reserved. 5. I put them lower than the INFJ because they are prone to anger, which can seriously cloud ones judgement. Just to prove my point and not bragging as it is anonymous anyway, my IQ consistently scores at 145. (however, the top students of summer classes seemed to score a little higher than intuits, probably because summer sessions require more memorization as opposed to understanding). These people are "born to lead by default," Puglisi says. By the way, if this doesnt convince you, maybe this will.http://advan.physiology.org/content/262/6/S1.full.pdf But it is certainly the one youre most likely to bump into. Reddit and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with a better experience. ESTP they are masterminds But we can put the two together if you like. T's care about things. 11. F turn to T and N turn to S is much easlier than reverse. Like an S who hasn't quite developed their intuition, an ENT hasn't quite developed their focus, where the INF has. F's are generally more involved with less mechanical things and more involved with personal things and emotional things. There's a lot of what looks like one-upmanship masquerading as credential-providing going on. Do you just sit and think of provacative nonsense to state? N's are almost always more influential than S's. Only problem being they spend so much time having fun. Would it give more insight? As you can see most of this stuff doesn't matter that much except for S/N. Therefore the extraversion of ENTPs and ENTJs is an advantage, because they are less academic and apply themselves in the real world. Thats very interesting. We could develop a society that praises intuitive thinking/feeling (and I believe it would make the world less burdened by racism/homophobia/transphobia/ableism as these are sensory concepts of "we've always done it this way"). ENTJ and INTJ. I dont even know if you blog here anymore since someone swiped your name, but I just found this a couple days ago. Are intuitives really generally smarter tham sensors or just more interested in the unconventional and hypothetical = higher crystalized intelligence? The first is axiomatic and self evident. Reasoning traits, in my opinion, are a higher end form of intelligence than emotion." There are geniuses in every personality type and idiots in every personality type as well. Doubt it can be a deciding factor on smartness. Haha, if you would agree to that on the basis of functions you would know that INFJs have Ti in their tertiary slot. Very few who lead with those functions are open to new ideas and aren't able to arrive to a conclusion that doesn't jive with their personal beliefs. However, your mistake is in thinking this applies to any Introvert who happens to be Intuitive. Yeah, so I read through the article, I read through the comments and this is what I have observed. My conclusions are from spiritual, entrepreneurial, educational and tons of other material that illustrates the exact same point that I am illustrating with MBTI. Id be really happy if you anwered me:). The way you divided the importance of traits, and I repeat it was wrong to do so, was made on your feelings, which is not the way we write a decent article. I have enough common "sense" to realize how absolutely pathetic that is. NF's and NT's make great partners and are often found to marry each other with statistically impossible numbers. I think P's have a slight edge here as they are influencing at a more esoteric level before the influence perverts itself to the physical level with errors. READ THIS NEXT: The 7 Kindest Myers-Briggs Personality Types, Experts Say. Would you type an ST on average as more intelligent than an NF? you need to go into the cognitive functions.

This person also can explain things to others in great detail and very clearly, while me, at that same position will be stumbling to find the right words as I grasped the situation intuitively, and would find it hard explaining it to people in detail. They commonly work in religion, teaching, and the arts. The same as Enf can be on par with Int. You have to be an N yourself. At. I liked this chart - http://geekologie.com/image.php?path=/2013/12/09/star-wars-myers-briggs- interestingly PALPATINE and YODA are "INT" and JAR JAR BINKS in an "ESF". Not. Lack of source, logically inconsistent (why if it's a measure of 2% of smartest population, no type goes over 2%), methodology is dubious (how were types identified?, so far there is no empirically proven way to measure them; also, the whole data almost follows a close pattern IN>EN>IS>ES: real world data are rarely this clean). I'm 24, unemployed, I can't drive, and I don't even have a good excuse for any of those. And be proud with your type! Bestlifeonline.com is part of the Meredith Health Group.
