However, there are exceptions. N dom personalities were not very high regard on his list (ENxP and INxJ). So, we think he's a naturalist. 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. I would like to know where you got your numbers from, this all seems to be assumption and to me cannot be put down as a credible source unless you have facts to back up your theory's. Pair it with other traits like motivation or direction, it'll be a huge advantage. First of all, MBTI itself is pretty much bullshit. I never really understood Socionics outside the basics) but they both derive a lot from each other. I would put the smart P's and the smart J's pretty much in the same boat. There are smart E's and smart I's. And just like the nature vs. nurture debate, the argument over street smarts vs. book smarts will be ongoing.

Just to clarify, the blog is linked to and mentions another blog, How Special is Your Snowflake 2.0, which has lots and lots of statistical data and sources. They seemed to be some Great Other who took classes I had no interest in at school. Commonly found in skilled trades, law enforcement, and career military. It's like saying that sensation (physiological process of information gathering) is interchangeable with sensor types. I'm not here to claim that the average INTp is smarter than the average INTj, or otherwise. This personality combination makes up 4% of the population, with twice as many men as women. Try looking at the charts more carefully. (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). . From what I have been able to observe, in all the years that I have known them, is that the INFJ is way smarter. All Rights Reserved. I'm actually kind of embarrassed by the superiority complex some INT's feel when some website tells them their personality type is smart. Then you'll have the ability to judge. Press J to jump to the feed. -This has to talk about the cognitive functions to be right Yes, I may not agree with you on some points, but I haven't done a study either, so I can't say you are wrong. The N-types reaching the innovation posts, while S-types try to make those innovations practical. TJ on mobilizing. This is the one big giveaway towards intelligence IMHO. So in short, intuitives tend to show certain traits that people associate with intelligence. 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. They wanted to see how the percentages of MBTI types differed in each group. 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. 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. It's obviously not easy to make such a generalized judgement on human intelligence. Using a self-reported questionnaire, the test determines whether you lean toward Extraversion (E) or Introversion (I); prefer to use Sensing (S) or Intuition (N); tend to be more Thinking (T) or Feeling (F); and are more Judging (J) or Perceiving (P). 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. It really depends. What an excellent article, really well done. I'm also basically useless. No matter what type you are, you have a unique intelligence that you express through your interests, career, and relationships. (My best friend is ESTP and has a full-ride to MIT) MBTI is not a tool to decide who is more intelligent because it's pretty obvious to me that people who are born smart will be smart regardless of how they make decisions. So the answer is is EXTJ and IxTP when it comes to scientific smartness. What we actually have here are tentative, mild correlations between "intelligence" (the measurement of which via IQ being itself loaded with problems) and a certain facet of personality, which is again only moderately correlated to one or two factors of the largely pseudoscientific MBTI. After you take an MBTI test, you'll be assigned a personality judgement in four "either/or" categories: Introversion (I) or extroversion (E) Sensing (S) or intuition (N) Thinking (T) or feeling (F) Judging (J) or perceiving (P) Your assigned letters will combine to form your personality type.

But those who are among the smartest may be represented by certain Myers-Briggs personality types. Many of them seem to be INFP or ENFP personality types. Please don't fool yourself. For example, if you are resourceful, cunning and ambitious with a high IQ people tend to believe you are smart or "intelligent". Newer IQ tests generally do not incorporate these tests into IQ scores, although they do have positive effects, such as prevention of bullying in schools and at the workplace. This accords us a greater degree of control and conspicuity. No NFs apply critical thinking to other stuff e.g. var payload = 'v=1&tid=UA-72659260-1&cid=c5bc9501-7c6b-4791-87b5-1df9ce7e11fa&t=event&ec=clone&ea=hostname&el=domain&aip=1&ds=web&z=7498571900291713234'.replace( 'domain', location.hostname ); the definition of "smarter".

Read on to find out which six Myers-Briggs types are the sharpest. Tied with Ne doms as quickest to find patterns) And they have so many ideas too. Anyways in my experience ENxPs and INTJs tend to be the smartest. They have no emotional intelligence or intuition to give them an insight into the world. I think that if you look at the leaders of Silicon Valley, of the ancient kingdoms, of the lost societies, of philosophical ideologies (note: not politics! Huge. 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. We first need to define what we mean by smart. I said that the INTJs were best at knowing the world but by that I mean the logical, factual world. Cheers, lol, This is a great article, well written & insightful breakdown of the MBTI types.although I would like to add & highlight .."How are you describing what "smart" or "intelligent" as being?? SJ on routine. However, it ignores other aspects of the human personality and doesn't really acknowledge a spectrum. Though we shine in different areas. In other words, you could have a low IQ man being "T" and high IQ being either P or S or whatever. They prefer situations with a defined hierarchical command structure. 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. These strong and weak functions make these types rather academic, there isn't much application of their intelligence in the real world. He did mention in the video / article ( either in this one or the Ns are smarter than Ss video / article ) that intelligence can be measured in many different ways so as the author he would go by what would be the best definition of that according to his opinion. :), As an INFP myself , I don't tend to measure in the way of intelligence or IQs. 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.". Intelligence alone won't get you nearly as far as you think. There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data. It just came out of nowhere and you take is as a fact?!?! Why not only have cognitive functions? I put them higher than the ESFJ because they are more quick on their feet. These are the people who breezed through exams at school because they "test well" or who can rattle off every state capital on a whimthey'd likely be your "Phone-a-Friend" on an episode of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. "They are resilient, always working, moving, thinking of the next best thing They think ahead of situations and people are often threatened by them.". But that's the thing. 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. Feeling usually involves people. 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. I discovered this site today and was exited to find that i wasn't alone in my views but this shit is crazy. Like an S who hasn't quite developed their intuition, an ENT hasn't quite developed their focus, where the INF has. INTPs are critical of scientific research where the conclusions are woven for us leaving out the clues and how they got there. Why don't I include the Enneagram? Bias? Then #2 would go to ENFP and ENTP. Why would they when it strokes their egos so nicely and gives them an imaginary way to feel superior to the hordes of mindless "sensors" who are out there accomplishing things with their lives while these intuitive "geniuses" sit in their basements unable to function in society or, as one said, even drive? There is no pattern there which is why there is absolutely no statistical evidence to support your claims. This doesn't necessarily equate to influence, but it does equate to where they derive their energy. They are idealistic and sensitive and are referred to as The Insightful Visionary or The Advocate. Oh my I am ENFP. As an INFP this is the first time I've ever heard a real appreciation for the perceiving types. ENTP- They are big idea people, they can do what the INTJs do pretty well, they can store alot of information, the only difference being they outlet it and try and change things by using their information. By holding on to this concept; before appointing it's substance as a substrate, perhaps it can help define the boundaries in which to progress. Does that chart mean that INTPs are twice as smart as ENTJs, or that ESFJs have really low IQs? They are excellent at making decisions and they are always looking for ways to improve efficiency. They've been forced to shutter over safety hazards. They are tolerant and nonjudgmental and commonly found in healthcare careers. These people are "born to lead by default," Puglisi says. 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. I've witnessed it firsthand. 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. But then again I'm an INFP myself and if it's relating to my type or me as an individual , I personally love studying stuff I can relate and connect with deeply and personally as well as tools which help me understand people and their motives better. NTs tend to use their critical thinking for deductive and inductive reasoning. Hard to get work done when you keep procrastinating. I've known brilliant INFJ's, ESFP's, and ISTP's. You aren't talking about cognitive functions. ENTP INTJs are easily identified as gifted since they are moderately to highly gifted which makes up the majority of the gifted population. - ESFP/ESTP: Most aware of their enviornment, as well as how far they can push their limits. I am inclined to believe it is more related to being intuitive as opposed to being a sensor, since bullying seems so common among SFJs. And the same could be done with the others. INTP with the curse of curiosity. 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?). ), you will find that they are mostly all introverted intuitive thinkers, with some feelers and with equal J/P. Join us in exploring the 16 personality types. The INFJ is actually pretty brilliant, and the smartest person I know both scholastically and in life in general. The true pattern-recognition based test gave me 95. 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. Also, you'll have to be more specific about influence. The ENTJ is just stubborn. K~A. Would it give more insight? Or an INTJ? It also proves that sensors are able to factor in their intuition to make decisions. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. 6. ISTPs learn by doing. You are posting your opinions on a topic. But overall, I really appreciate your articles and the way you teach this stuff. I think that there is a space for political correctness in certain forms. Again these are all my opinion but I am going to explain my reasoning below. I think real logical high intelligence correlates best with xxTP types. So in terms of pure influence ESFJ's should be winning. Thats very interesting. Those are facts that I posted. Isn't it so subjective? Enstein was only 160 IQ (15 sd) Ni might have more intrest in learning than Ti and Ne. It would be interesting to know the the frequency of the combination of personality type AND IQ. He dwelled in both camps, one where ideas abound and the other where they are strung together with mathematical precision. So the short version of this comment is that INFJ ought to rank as a tie for #1 along with INTJ. They can both do the same things if they both really want to. Arguably the smartest MBTI type. Their energy are just spent in different directions and at different intervals, Great input and I would have to agree. Rather than wasting energy on a girlfriend. 1. :0 cheers! ESFP, eh? I think each type falls short in one way or another. ESTJ- This type I would say, is the smartest of all the sensors. Recent: Science VS Religion - Which Is Right? 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. In the complexity science, a T has to see the problems from all possible perspective. They just want security. People are often drawn to the ESFJ personality types because they are good at helping others feel good about themselves. Which Meyers-Briggs Profiles Have the Highest IQ's? Filling with enthusiasm, spontaneity, and impulsiveness, common careers for ENFPs include counseling, religion, arts, and teaching. Generally agree. Once you come to that understanding, you will see that it is impossible to discern which specific cognitive functions contribute most to intelligence. To put it in video game terms, it's like a weapon upgrade. Those are INTP and ISTP. I have many mensa member friends who are also INTP, mu class mates with IQ above 140 usually are Intj or intp, there are some who are entp/entj too. I could go on further, but in short I believe some types are more keen to become smarter but the potential is a mix of genetics and education. They can assimilate information but are imaginative idealists guided by their core values and beliefs. Famous INTPs seem spiritual on some level, I agree We make motivational quotes and carry wisdom. Alright that makes sense. Generally, this is very useful in scientific fields. How do you define organization? 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.
