They think very carefully before they speak and when they speak it is limited. Famous INTPs seem spiritual on some level, I agree We make motivational quotes and carry wisdom. If you're an Intuitive, you're going to define intelligence as related to the informational knowledge in their brain. Many of the influential E leaders that we see had influential I philosophers in the background working behind them. But this article isn't written for them. The other letters really matter a lot, lot less. I have gone into more detail in another article as to why this is. Also, that T types are smarter than F types, because NFs do not apply "critical thinking" to their patterns, conceptualizations and plans. People are often drawn to the ESFJ personality types because they are good at helping others feel good about themselves. I still need to find how to handle this because I'm seriously interested in staying in science As an ISTJ I find this article very offensive. I find it very hard to take this article seriously without any facts to back your ideas up. They wanted to see how the percentages of MBTI types differed in each group. People who are lacking here are more likely to act on selfish whims and engage in archaic, 'animalistic' behavior. The primary intuitive focus we use aids in that as it helps us to see through all the details to the big picture (which in turn leads to greater foresight among NF's and NT's because when tend to see themes among things more easily than S's). Because I don't need to. Please read more about Jung cognitive functions and how Meyers & Briggs created types by combining them. She's smart in her way, and I'm smart in my own. Reasonably common, comprising 8% of the general population, with 10% of women and 6% of men exhibiting this personality trait combination.

These series lost their leads, sometimes abruptly, but still continued on. But it may give insight into what ESFxs find important to spend their time studying people. lol. In short, they're more open to new ideas and can theoretically see how those ideas fit in the existing ones, and they don't close themselves off to unfamiliarities. They're wrong because you don't take into consideration all the factors you need to draw the conclusion that you have. They have the same intelligence and thinking ability, but where they go with it, what they do, are different. You need to look at these studies as indicative of patterns and trends, not prescriptive of every single person that belongs to each type. Both use their rationale in a specific way. I once partnered with an INFJ managing a State presidential Campaign - My partner was brilliant, and one of the few people to earn my respect - And yet when it came to "Strategic and Positioning" (Guessing) decisions he always deferred to my ENT thinking because he understood we were dealing with relating to many different personalites which the ENT has a natural understanding of. 99% of what humans do based on logic fails. Why don't we talk lots of other things that would also lead to greater understanding? :-). 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.

Find Your Type Sentinels Logistician Socrates, Leonardo DaVinci, arguably to of the most intelligent individuals to ever walk the planet. Logical and Interpersonal were the lowest. 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. However if asked to solve a problem their emotion may cloud their speed. Second of all, what validity the MBTI does have is derived from its correlations to an actual scientific model of personality - the Big Five. 'Intuitive' models so to say.However sensory types are certainly more intelligent than intuitive types in say Bodily/Kinesthetic intelligence or musical intelligence.I would see SPs leading in such.In addition to that, I have seen other types excelling in mathematical/Abstract phenomena so there are always outliers.Such include ESFJ and ISTP. 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. So intuatives are generally more intrested in learning than sensors. As she explains, their Ti and Ne functionsmeaning their introverted thinking and extroverted intuition, respectivelyare what make them "gifted at following complex theoretical trains of thought.". ESF are just as smart as INT. INFJ- Incredibly big picture people I think they are the smartest when it comes to philosphy in life. Not surprising, Existential intelligence or thinking for its own sake is actually the primary life goal or purpose in life for INTPs. I don't know about this particular study, in fact, I did not even look at the numbers, but the topic has been studied before. Loretta Swit begged the writers to stop using it. I should not have to post this stuff twice. And I apologize for not responding earlier; I had pneumonia and havent been online much in the last few months. I would just like to say that I am an INTJ and my Ni function allows INTJs and INFJs to see the perspective and motives of others better than any other, thus allowing us to extrapolate those perspectives and make the most open- minded decisions. In any case, nice article since I was looking for an approach to this topic, and I found it thanks to you!. The other intuitives are all relatively rare with INFJ being the rarest at less than 2 percent of the population. lol. Plus your dry humor doesn't hurt. Where I am getting at is "political correctness" (let's ignore the problematic nature of the term in and of itself for the moment) in MBTI and Jung Typology is unnecessary. There the E-types will be leaders, the I-types in the background. Some people are short relative to the population in which they live, some people are tall, some people are fat, some people are skinny, some people are fast, some people are slow and some people show behaviours people consider unintelligent. Perceiving. They are excellent at making decisions and they are always looking for ways to improve efficiency. First of all, it just means that, based on IQ test results, if you have a group of 100 INTPs and a group of 100 people of all types, the INTPs will probably have four geniuses in the group when the other group has two. The INTx types are most often listed as the smartest. And the same could be done with the others. Virginity and tool making makes intj smarter. I think they can seem smarter than alot of the types above. You may of received biased information, making your judgements based on unhealthy or unintelligent people who happen to be Ni; or you could have biased information based on your own close-mindedness and inability to fully grasp the concept an Ni was trying to talk to you about. 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. Quinton, why is it that you completely avoid developing your knowledge of cognitive functions? Smart can mean a lot of different things to different people. I would agree with you, but for the most influential, i look upon ent, don't get this wrong I am Intp myself, but when it comes to reality, ent always the one that has a charge of anything, entj would be like natural born leader and entp would promote their thougts in charismatic way, well just my 2 cent. Sincerely, I am simply saying that I view reason above emotion. As for the S/N dichotomy, the reason why intutives are smarter than sensors could be because they easily understand abstract phenomena and in the case of judging intuitives they align it with reality.Its like they create models of reality. Do you honestly believe this yourself? But i can say, SJ types are the least intelligent of all with several reasons : I actually have two friends who are each other's best friends, and INTJ and an INFJ. I believe that we are equally intelligent. And to yet another it may be impersonal. For instance, many believe Introverted Intuition to be the source of the most intelligent/insightful/enlightened thinking and ideas. 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. So does that mean these personalities are less intelligent? I have 2 bachelors, one in engineering social science and i managed to graduate in 4 years summa cum laude with a minor. If you think this article is wrong: either live your intelligence on your own or make your own article with your personality type ranked first. 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. - ESTP/ISTP: Most Skills Smart (Tend to be naturally very good at a lot of things, and are usually the best at hands on making/fixing things) And therefore - no data / no good.

And traditional intelligence does not necessarily correlate to success or even happiness. Perhaps not, as we haven't come to a real definition of what intelligence is. First of all, MBTI itself is pretty much bullshit. Believe me, there are PLENTY of examples of genius S types and N types who are dumber than rocks. 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. And I mean no disrespect -- I actually agree with much that you have said, however now I'm trying to find out why this agreement, could be based entirely on individual and/ or group bias, and I'm just trying to royally rip apart my argument for such assumption And it's working. You have to define this first before trying to come up with the conclusion! They revel on manipulating systematic structures. They have a contagious spontaneity and are talkative. I's may prefer to think more rather than talk, but that doesn't mean they are better at thinking (in my experience). The ENTJ is just stubborn. Please incorporate socionics. They are the most carefree of all times therefore the least intelligent. Most lists I've seen have been very similar to yours, even to the point of giving a P a slight edge, but I don't know. But we can put the two together if you like. 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.

ESFJ- ESFJs are intelligent when it comes to people and knowing the right thing to say to make people happy.

I discovered this site today and was exited to find that i wasn't alone in my views but this shit is crazy. Intelligence is a hard thing to define and even harder to measure and I feel AND think that our society leaves out many of the important emotional and personal aspects when measuring intelligence.

At a more intellectually devolved and immature state, Es definitely would do better with moving on from thoughts to survive with better efficiency, and F types would definitely be better at emotional motivation. 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. (I know this does not equate to intelligence, but it is a good measurement).
