So now I'm using it as a survival mechanism. S-types are generally more practical than N types, but are far more rigid. But I'm smart, somehow. 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. Would you type an ST on average as more intelligent than an NF? They like rules, valuing predictability, degrading artistic license, or adaptability. Sorry mate, but you fail on this one. That is why being smart is more than just one or the other. Please don't fool yourself. I even heard how sensors would pretend to be intuitives in the MBTI Community for some reason. NF's do use critical thinking as well. Perhaps I'm one of those who's most in the clouds. There are smart E's and smart I's. Thinking and Feeling have their respective strengths and weakness, but the most important thing is the way a person uses their Intuition to collect and understand information (N/S), and not the decisions they makes using that information (T/F). You are simply wrong if you think we're close-minded. 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 was once a Pantheists until I couldn't understand how something could be infinite, without infinitessence, and so the infancy of my intimacy with infiniticy, infinitively vanished. If you're an Intuitive, you're going to define intelligence as related to the informational knowledge in their brain. Further, there are actually lots of non-human animals with extraordinary logical reasoning capabilities. Highly intelligent, they are inspired innovators and motivated to solve intellectually challenging problems. I don't believe in IQ but I believe that I am dumb, I cant believe this post got tons of upvotes. Okay heres why I listed them in that order. If you really look around you will see this all over. It's always one of the two, and it makes me think that there's probably really not that much difference. Throughout my whole life I have enjoyed building real businesses by solving real problems. Other than this, great article! That's the ticket. My own Stanford-Binet test in Seventh Grade did include sections for evaluation of leadership abilities and hobby interests. All I'm saying is don't dump your date because you find out they're ESFJ/ESFP, though if you do that's your life I guess. INTJs have a Te function, otherwise known as extroverted thinking. There are tons of influential P's and tons of influential J's. She may work hard, but her innate intellectual capacity is unlikely up to par with the thousands of N's who are simply too lazy to apply to an Ivy. Like you've said in an earlier comment, one fine day a person shows up, reads your article, says 'I never really thought about it like that before', and DOES AN ACTUAL STUDY! As an intuitive person myself, I know this may sound self-obsessed and biased, and truth be told it is but show me a piece of research, no matter how scientific that does not have any bias at all and it will be impossible. It was a paradox; and thus my religion was conceived: Paradoxitheism. In the same way, INTJs use intuition to plan, act, make themselves certain of their judgments. The latter of which I've failed to provide, ironically enough. They have the same intelligence and thinking ability, but where they go with it, what they do, are different. Socrates, Leonardo DaVinci, arguably to of the most intelligent individuals to ever walk the planet. Also ENTP have Ti which is basically the definition for high inteligence and you are telling me that an NF is smarter than that? I have to say that this is a pretty interesting study. And I apologize for not responding earlier; I had pneumonia and havent been online much in the last few months. There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data. There can be smart people in any type and there can be dumb people in any type. The action you just performed triggered the security solution. In fact, this is one of the most thought provoking articles I've read. Yet everything gets easily blurred by my feeling side and my need to skip every step so quickly. Idealists i.e INFP, ENFP, ENFJ and INFJ in my opinion are the most spiritual of all types.If there was spiritual intelligence these types would easily top all other types with once again the top being a possible tie between INFP and INFJ.When it comes to logical and mathematical intelligence, its unfortunate idealists are behind rationals.It is the precise reason why most scientists are rationals or NT types. NF's and NT's make great partners and are often found to marry each other with statistically impossible numbers. But strictly on its own, it's borderline useless. But we can put the two together if you like. What kind of intelligence are we talking about here? 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. They are energetic and passionate storytellers. I always struggle to keep up with his thought pattern and it diminishes our conversations. In our case it's pretty clear that the INTJ is the smartest. The chart is kind of a running joke in the ENTJ community. 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. INTP is too busy making things work that they have no time to plan. all in all INTJs are better with logic of the kind A+B=AB Damn! lol. They are the most carefree of all times therefore the least intelligent. So with all this said I would put the INF above the ENT. So that, I think that many agree INFP and INFJ are the so most unpredictable type, expecially INFP. It just came out of nowhere and you take is as a fact?!?! Animals share the emotional traits that humans possess, but they don't share the reasoning traits. as it pertains to all aspects of your daily life. 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. But INTPs and ENTPs extrovert their feeling (Although as this is deep, they aren't well equipped to deal with emotion, though they don't knowingly hurt feelings much. Psychological scientist Isabel Briggs Myers and her mother, Katharine Briggs, developed this classification system to make the Jungian theory of Psychological types understandable and valuable to the general public. So NFs and NTs both tend to use critical thinking but in different ways. Famous intjs like Newton and Tesla died as virgins; and they both invented practicle tools( i.e. If it's not about letters then why have letters? They are good at consuming large amounts of information and solving analytical problems for widespread application. (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). Hopefully this article will provide some insight. INTP? This also helps my development of F. And you know how many times people have followed logic and failed? We ABSOLUTELY LOVE complex logic puzzles, and critical thinking is no challenge to us. These personality types are creative nurturers helping others realize their potential. Dont forget it is a mean : The highest IQ now is VISHALINI (235) the indian girl INTP ; with Marilyn vos savant (228) who is INTP also. In fact its said that after reading Kant at age 14 and Hume at 15, he switched to physics and then self taught himself calculus at age 17. Why not only have cognitive functions? Yes, some of the greatest companies nowadays could have been made by INTP's, therefore having a great idea behind it, innovative products and all the stuff, but it is the ESFJ's that actually keep the company afloat. In reality, that is what they extravert, or use most in interactions. ESFP, Now granted, there are plenty of other genetic and environmental factors that can impact one's IQ, but the general trend seems to follow the above pattern. Extroverted, intuitive, feeling, and judging types are also among the most intelligent,Joseph Puglisi, CEO of Dating Iconic, explains. I can think logically, but I do not believe I should always follow it. Then you'll have the ability to judge. Like you said, those who lead with intuition may be perceived to be by some to be more,"influential." This is a tricky one because they both have pros and cons. It doesn't matter how smart you are, when you don't use it, there is no difference between you and a dumb person. 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. The N letter is the most important, making up 47% of intelligence, but I also believe introversion is important, making up 29%. Please read more about Jung cognitive functions and how Meyers & Briggs created types by combining them. Or an INTJ? Where are your sources? 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. - ISFP/INFP: Most self aware..enouhh said No NFs apply critical thinking to other stuff e.g. I am great in theology, philosophy and able in math and physics. They are excellent at making decisions and they are always looking for ways to improve efficiency. The INFJ is actually pretty brilliant, and the smartest person I know both scholastically and in life in general. It would be ludicrous to say if there was a race between a very fast person and a very slow person that a) they were the same in skill and b) that the slower person was better, and yet when MBTI and intelligence is discussed, this simple concept is often met with shameful vitriol. They are highly detail oriented and have a propensity for troubleshooting. Almost any N is going to have an edge over an S. So I would put N above S when it comes to who is smarter because the N has much more influence than the S. As stated earlier, this probably is about 85% of which MBTI is smarter. :). Based on statistics that I posted in a previous blog (which were based on a number of different sources) and the bar graph above, here are the statistics for how many people place in the top 2% by IQ based on each personality type: Finally, I sorted the data based on the total amount of geniuses to find out who has sheer numbers in the genius category. Well you're clearly not one of them, cause less geniuses than more fail in life. "I am an INTJ, therefore I must be introverted and emotionless" because by consequence that will happen. 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". That is why early on I defined smart as something like influence as opposed to sheer technical ability. To one person it may be creativity. My close INTP friend while incredibly intelligent and can remember details in a phenomenal way that I usually can't, can many times not realize how sometimes people can react badly to things she does and turns to me for advice. You sound like a typical ISTJ, no offence. ESFPs are vivacious entertainers who charm and engage their surroundings. Existential intelligence involves puzzling over abstract ideas, such as the meaning of life. No matter what type you are, you have a unique intelligence that you express through your interests, career, and relationships. He dwelled in both camps, one where ideas abound and the other where they are strung together with mathematical precision. On the one hand an INF has great attention and focus, while on the other the ENT goes more off reason and data. Recent: Science VS Religion - Which Is Right? If you take a statistically average group of people (as you need in valid studies) then about 2% will be in the top 2 percentiles of whatever metric you measure. Doubt it can be a deciding factor on smartness. I always get passionate about things that include the potential to build an empire out of it. ISTPs learn by doing. The I's don't get their energy from the E's. For example, Si and Ni are both incredibly close-minded in my experience. NP on comparative. INTPs are philosophical innovators fascinated by logical analysis, systems, and universal theory. Some are more focused on social issues and are open minded about listening to everyone's point of view , then narrowing it all down to the big picture according to the humanitarian aspect of the basic human needs if survival to basic emotions and thoughts regarding life on earth. Answer (1 of 20): Define Intelligence. They just arent as pro-active or as consise as ENTPs and INTJs. This article isn't about 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. I think IQ is a measure of some cognitive "divergence", but intelligence seem to be nothing more than what people actually perceive and decide to define as intelligence. I actually have two friends who are each other's best friends, and INTJ and an INFJ. 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. I'll do something similar. So, if anything, going by your "logic" P would be the second-most important factor in "determining" intelligence, not the least. To another it may be interpersonal. So "smart" they've outsmarted themselves! And you may not even be an accurate INTJ/INTP because the test itself might not be accurate. Also Ps are open minded to last minute creative possibilities while Js are much better at getting the job done in terms of project distribution and such. Other than that, the conceptualisation of the subject is great. Once you come to that understanding, you will see that it is impossible to discern which specific cognitive functions contribute most to intelligence. Again, it is very close. -We don't write decent articles on feelings. When it comes to creativity, which I believe should be another form of intelligence, Perceivers have an edge over Judging types , who prefer structure. Are intuitives really generally smarter tham sensors or just more interested in the unconventional and hypothetical = higher crystalized intelligence? INFP Very interesting. Interesting, though i think it might be misleading! Not. On the flip side, even though the feeler is using emotion the way that they are pulling the emotion through introversion is going to bring a great level of precision and accuracy. I think I'll have another dorito..Yep! I'm actually kind of embarrassed by the superiority complex some INT's feel when some website tells them their personality type is smart. Dying as virgins for science is true dedication to nerdship. They might not be the type you think of when it comes to calculating hard numbers, but they're in-tune with others and innately know how to respond in a crisis. As for the lack of Data? Wow - you people really believe this stuff? - INFP/ENFP: Most emotionally intelligent (Quickest to understand the true motives behind peoples actions) The actual scientific studies done with that model to establish actual correlations between personality and intelligence show a very mild correlation at best, and even that correlation is restricted to one trait - openness. Not that it's that important.. Absolutely. I'm an INFP, so I don't want you to think I'm conceited when I say N's steal the field in theoretical intelligence, which is great for big picture thinking, but S's have an advantage in here-and-now pragmatism. ENTJs have this dominant ability of extroverted thinking, which puts them on the list of "most intelligent," according to Robledo. Despite the excess of criticism here in comments--to which you've given ample reply--your analysis is as sound and thorough as can be expected with present empirical data. Yes, we could. 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. Smart can mean a lot of different things to different people. I do remember that the school district changed over to a different test within several months by the time my younger sibling was tested. There is a lot more than just the four dichotomies going on. Love them as I do, in a mental show down I can mop the floor with them handily, in any chosen category save, empathy. INTJs are logical; INTPs are theoretical. "They are intelligent in the sense that they can learn to do anything that requires creation or building without much guidance.". "ISTPs learn through working with their hands," she explains. This is the first good counterargument Ive heard against this. They are both so close and there are plenty of arguments on both sides. They really tell the same exact story. 1. Because these situations themselves vary too and will be quite different from the test. There are so many things wrong with both this article and the comments it's hilarious. While they show conservative, conventional, and reserved features, they are also usually amongst the lowest income types and most likely to believe in spiritual powers. We are committed to bringing you researched, expert-driven content to help you make more informed decisions Very interesting indeed. Known as energetic, prejudiced, and self-satisfied, they comprise 9% of the general population, with almost twice as many men and 11% as women. But as soon as you say an N is more intelligent than an S everyone goes crazy. And for the record on the NEO-PI-R Big Five test, I also score very high in openness, again demonstrating how the correlation is far from perfect. And it would also be bad for creatives, because they would not be able to come up with certain ideas because there would not be the existing framework of society to uphold them to a certain degree (sure you can be creative in a desert, but wouldn't it be easier in a city with a whole system in place?). Man everyone can draw a fake chart in Excel and then post it. - ESFJ/ENFJ: Most People Smart Amazing. The INTJ is thought as having an edge due to their logical reasoning and the way they can see patterns and fix things. INTJ score high because of the J part. This is a different spin on smarts, but they're the invaluable people you want around when you're trying to put that complex furniture from IKEA together. or INTJ.. ENTP's tend to have the best social skills. To another it may be mechanical. Intj like Stephen Hawkins married only once at a late age and had few kids. document.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value", ( new Date() ).getTime() ); Your email address will not be published. 15. The ability to see what other normal humans dont, the ability to think what other people dont, and yet it works way better than other ideas. A problem I see here is that you're relying solely on your intuitions here but not actually paying any attention to the actual facts. I think real logical high intelligence correlates best with xxTP types. BTW im an ENTP Not to argue or anything, but intuitives who believe in the possibilities of paranormal activity, psychics, etc, are probably smarter than those who don't because they can see how their perception of the world is only limited to what they can actually perceive instead of what there actually is. ENTJs and ENFJs (intuitive types) have less than the average amount of people with high IQs as well, so its not necessarily a sensor versus intuitive thing. ENTPs are idea people. The concept of "political correctness" is a fundamentally flawed concept as it is reliant on the general ideas that the opinions of white heterosexual cisgender abled men are normal and all other people's views are "political". Conversely, if you have 100 ESFJs in the group, chances are, none of them will have an IQ above 129. Second of all, what validity the MBTI does have is derived from its correlations to an actual scientific model of personality - the Big Five. Now for my two cents: in contrast to traditional "intelligence", I see propensities for consistency as alternate forms of intelligence.
