If you wanna irritate the 16 Personalities check out this video where I tell you how to do it lol ua-cam.com/video/bJ3itax6g58/v-deo.html OH btw I mentioned studies in the video and here they are, in case u curious: First one: “Kaufman, A. S., McLean, J. E., & Lincoln, A. (1996). The relationship of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) to IQ level and the fluid and crystallized IQ discrepancy on the Kaufman Adolescent and Adult Intelligence Test (KAIT). Assessment, 3(3), 225-239.” Secone one: “Furnham, A., Moutafi, J., & Paltiel, L. (2005). Intelligence in Relation to Jung's Personality Types. Individual Differences Research, 3(1).”
I love how you talked about how being a thinker doesn't mean you're more intelligent for ten minutes and then you were like, "Uh, anyway, the smartest type is probably INTPs and ISTPs. Alright bye!"
As an INFP I feel like if my Fi was replaced with Ti I would be the smartest person ever because I would be super obsessed with logic as opposed to my personal values and feelings 🤓
Yes, I love learning new things, but talking too bluntly is a burden for me, I turn others off and I don't always realize it, and I feel stupid for not getting it by now 😭
@@maggied9918 I get it. I think we have above average IQ, below average EQ. I always try to find practical solutions to friends' problems when all they wanted was empathy or a hug.
As an INFP who was a high academic achiever and surrounded by many such people for years, I met people with genius-level IQs who were so lacking in perspective, wisdom, or understanding of life - or themselves, or humanity - that it fascinated me. It's like, you're so advanced at absorbing information and solving problems yet seem to have so little understanding of so many of the things that really matter. That's not to knock those people; their talents are certainly valuable, and they do have their place in the world. It's just interesting to me how differently different types of 'intelligent' minds can work. And, just like with the Mozart example, you can get people who are amazing at math or science but hopeless at, for example, language and communication. I had someone like that in physics class in college. One time I was paired up with him to work on some very challenging problems that almost no one in the class could solve - but he could. Problem was, we were required to also write out verbal explanations of how we had solved the problems, and he couldn't do it. He struggled so much to find the words, he was on the verge of tears. Meanwhile, I didn't really understand how he'd solved the problems, but I kept on suggesting phrases and sentences that seemed like they could fit, and after a few tries, one of them would click with him, and in this way I managed to slowly write out the explanations, and together we completed the assignment successfully.
sounds like you were paired with an intp possibly turbulent. edit: actually I have no idea, the "he was on the verge of tears" part leads me to believe otherwise. perhaps very turbulent, if so.
I am an intp and it is exactly the same with me. I think in images, multiple languages, structures of thoughts and make a lot of analogies, and also when I am learning something new, I spend a lot of time connecting the thing i have just learnt with things I already know, literally making a net of my thoughts, And you can't get a single node without pulling the whole net down. This is very efficient for solving math problems, but it's really hard for me to convey my ideas through language.
@@Ash-Nox yeah, NTs need a rich wife because they want to entirely focus in research and analize, a good house? car? good, but it's not gonna interest them past 5 minutes.
thats because you can't negate their logic with facts. the second you use something to neutralize their statement, they come up with a whole new fact that doesnt remotely make sense and juet sounds like downright nonsense a toddler spits. The second you call them out for not making sense and negate their statement yet again, they say another stupid point that doesn't make sense and so on. insufferable.
2:15 Frank:"and anyone above 115 IQ is above average, like me" Frank 2 seconds later [2:17]: "Quick tip, anyone who ever tells you they have higher IQ score, objectively does not have a higher IQ score". How to roast yourself in less than 2 secondsX'D Just joking;) Amazing video as always^^
I generally do score well 115(lowest)-145(highest) rage on IQ test but I like to say that "I have a high IQ and a learning disability(dyslexia/dysgraphia) , so I end up kind of normal" Where do fall in this metric?
@@ALunarLight me too, I usually get iq scores between 120-140 (I personally think my true iq would be at the lowest scores I've gotten since I don't wanna exaggerate my intelligence needlessly) I also have adhd, dyslexia, ms.... I've always been an average student with scores a little above average when I work extra hard, which is always cus I wanna do well and learn
@@Voitto123 scores mean nothing they do not measure intelligence but mostly how much effort someone has put into memorizing something (though exceptions exist)
My sister is an INTP and she scores very high on non-verbal IQ but quite average on verbal. My INFJ sister scores pretty high on verbal. I have always told my INTP sister that people underestimate her and she knows this too. Her thought process is brilliant but most don't get it. I am sure that's an everyday experience for INTPs.
I think really viable solutions to things that no one ever thought, but they think I'm stupid cos it's not normal or common thing to do. They also think unnecessary obstacles why it would not work when I already know it does work on some level. Well, they think what they want and what they are capable of. Let them have it. Maybe they are right sometimes too.
I’m a female INTP as well. My TiNe functions are generally too complex and hyper, giving me a difficult time during discussions, debates, and explanations or small talk. I don’t claim to be smart but I hate being viewed negatively without given a chance.
That discrepancy between abstraction and cognisiantly-concrete Se reasoning tends to be the reason most INFJs have much-higher verbal than performance IQs. It’s not unusual for an INFJ or certain type of ENFP to have a verbal IQ of 130 and performance of 104 or even 88. @Michelle Lee: that might be but IQ tests if anything are designed by INTPs for INTPs more-than any other type. Unless you’ve got a touch of A.D.D. I’m sure you can prove your intellectual prowess on a piece of paper better than anyone who’s not your type.
I love this! As an INFP I have always taught my INTJ son who scores very highly on most tests and breezes through school that there are MANY different types of intelligence that should all be respected and celebrated.
I really appreciate that. I'm an INTJ and have learned that people vary in talents and abilities. Creativity, academics, and practicality are all intellectual traits that we all have but in different measures. We can all learn from each other, and that kind of education is amazing. Great job, mom!
I see. Well, you’ve taught them incorrectly. Intelligence is defined in order to classify a specific trait - the moment you begin allowing it to become an all encompassing umbrella term, it loses all its meaning. Within the psychological literature, intelligence has been scrupulously defined as being “g” or “general cognitive ability” measured at an accuracy of about 0.95 by most registered iq tests. It is a stable, genetically inherited trait (at about 80% by late adulthood). EVERYTHING which you would consider “intelligent” collapses into g, except for the social awkwardness which apparently doesn’t. Even things you wouldn’t consider to be intellectual tasks necessarily (like being a genius composer or artist) require a near genius iq (140-145+) in order to accomplish at that level. Now, obviously not everyone that’s just ‘good’ at painting, or music, or dancing or socialising (cannot believe this is considered an intelligence by some) needs to have a genius, or even particularly high/ average, iq to do so. Hence, we call them talents - and that’s fine. We don’t need to make everyone feel “intelligent” in a different way. You are fortunate to have kids that apparently have “scored very highly”. Rather than teaching them that everyone’s dealt the same genetic card, teach them that they’re very fortunate to be given what they have, and that they should work as hard as they can to utilise it.
@@BombshElle_7 creativity is correlated with intelligence until about 120. A good indication of how creative someone is, is their iq score with a fluency score added to that. Someone that is practically intelligent (not sure how you would define it) would also quite likely be actually intelligent. Iq is correlated with long-term life success at about .5
@@ben_alfred I have taught him that he is very fortunate and am attempting to encourage him to use his intelligence to improve this world in some way. I understand your point about intelligence but if you need to call it talents instead, then whatever floats your boat. I also have not taught him that every one is intelligent. There is plenty of stupid around even in "intelligent" people. Everyone has their weak spots. I just want him to be able to acknowledge and be able to appreciate other talents.
I heard an interesting speculation that INTJ's have the highest average IQ, but INTP's have the highest potential IQ. The reason for this is that the thought patterns of INTJ's and INTP's are different, where INTJs like to get straight to the conclusion and INTPs prefer more linear processing. So I would agree with FJ that INTPs take the cake with IQ, plus Einstein was an INTP. -INTJ
@@Beardless-Soul I read it on some websites for famous personalities. No idea if its true or not, but from some quotes might be possible. Some claim that Da Vinci was also INTJ.
@@Beardless-Soul Da Vinci was probably an ENTP based off his habits, otherwise he could've been an extremely unusual INTJ since he kept scrapping projects to start something new. I'd recommend watching Nathan from Love Who covering him if you want to look into it more.
There is scientific evidence that “Openness to Experience,” part of the Big Five model of personality, is correlated with intelligence. But thanks for making such a nuanced and well thought out video, FJ.
Sometimes it can take a lot of maturity to be super open to new ideas and seeing all perspectives. I have always thought of very narrow-minded people as less intelligent, but I try not to be overly critical over it or I else would be just like them and totally discredit my entire belief lol
Judging individual Intelligence level is subjective unless you agree on the measures and like, how can we ever truly agree on that? I find a good way to measure intelligence in a casual and practical way, is to consider people smart on certain functions but not others. I think most people are very smart about 2-3 functions, and the rest are hit or miss
As an INTP, I can assure all of you that we also don’t know what we’re doing and while we may excel in certain subjects that are stereotypically “intelligent” (yes I do calculus for fun), we more than make up for it in our uh, lack of grace in other fields. For instance, I’m pretty sure I hold the world record for the number of times I’ve stubbed the same toe on the same bedpost in three hours. Also what are social skills?
@@sheevpalpatine2524 We have GREAT potential to solve the world's problems and further human existence into the future, but just thinking about how to do it and figuring it out in our own head is satisfying enough, so we feel, "okay, got that accomplished. What's next?" when we didn't actually DO anything.
I'm an INTP and I literally always got the worst grades in STEM subjects. a part of me is like ''okay clearly I'm stupid'' *but* I also believe I would do better if STEM subjects were taught differently at our schools. I have friends who studied maths at uni and I'm always interested in what they have to say, because they're able to explain it to me like I'm five and talk about it in more depth rather than just hand me some abstract made-up maths problems to solve like a robot without telling me what the hell it actually means. I was always more interested in humanities and I actually got a degree in linguistics (and a minor in literature) at uni. so I always roll my eyes at the ''scientist nerd'' stereotype (and not just because I'm an INTP who sucks at maths lol). it's good that you pointed out that intelligence is much more complex than that.
I can relate. I am an intp and I love history and literature. But sucks at maths. But i have always felt like if i understood it correctly I would love it. Like there were moments were i understood maths and loved to do it.
sucking at math might be a genetic disorder for INTP. there are some aminoacids which are toxic to thinking parts of the brain. but in that case you'd probably be istj/isfj. or you are just a misstyped infp.
School math sucks, they just shove theorems in front of you with no explanation or proof, which are the heart of mathematics. Math is before all a subject of exploration and creativity, but it's treated as apply-a-process subject. For those that still study math, I advise you to look for a simple proof of a theorem you are learning, and maybe even do a research on how someone just sat down with pen and paper and discovered a fundamental truth about the universe and beyond. And as of "science nerd" stereotype, note that stereotypes don't exist for no reason, and that actually a great deal of intps are in fact nerds(I am an intp and am totally nuts for science, especially math). There was a research done on a topic of creativity, and it was concluded that brain cannot generate thoughts out of nothing, but just makes new connections (conclusions) based on previous input. Therefore your sensory input, connections you later made between them and genetics solely determine your understanding of the subject. There are explanation that are compatible with your mind, there are explanations that are not compatible with your mind, and there are also mixtures of the 2. School basically puts everyone through the same mold.
I can’t learn from having people explain it to me. I have to read the book and do the homework by myself. If I learn it from the teacher I will learn it wrong so I have to actively block them out.
@@nuclearcatbaby1131 That's somewhat true for me too. I can do it in my own way. But i would lose everything if someone tries to explain it some other way.
I couldn't agree more. I really want to be useful and sometimes I'm even depressed when I think that I can't do anything in the world correctly. I don't really care if I'm inteligent or not, but I know dumb person when I see one and thats their problem. I just love how every INTJ in comment section is offended now and everyone is trying to prove something that nobody cares about.
I'm an INTP (I've taken the test many many times but the result never changed for some reason) and I am a person who enjoys complex sciences especially physics but what I've noticed is that if I don't find something interesting or challenging I don't have the motivation to go through with it. In a way it doesn't matter how smart you are unless you can apply that to the real world.
> it doesn't matter how smart you are unless you can apply that to the real world might wanna consider ISTP then, because an INTP will, in most cases, not care about whether or not what they know is practical, as long as it's interesting. like the above commenter said, you could be an ISTP with ADHD, the latter often mimics Ne (though of course, one is a cognitive function and one is a disorder, so ADHD is far more serious). i'm not saying you are an ISTP or you do have ADHD, what i am saying is consider the possibility.
@@gassug2 Honestly I don't think the S type suits me because I don't really use my senses as much and am more intuitive. I did go through the ISTP's profile but although some things made sense I think most of it didn't apply to me. As long as it's interesting I don't really care about whether it can be applied in the real world but at the same time I've realised that most people value practical application. I don't really prioritize it though. I still standby what I said about it not mattering how smart you are until you can use it somehow because although my personality type is smart and I've been considered 'smart' this world weighs academic performance and conceivable possibilities on a higher scale. It's more or less a blind standard but in my opinion there are very few things that are impossible, it's just that some things aren't possible under these given circumstances which is why every idea is worth exploring. But this was definitely an interesting perspective to look at...
@@gassug2 nah its just a 5w6 enneagram thing; as for the mechanism for how it could arise, Ne likes new ideas, if it feels something is essentially just 'doing the math' or isn't insightful (and just collecting facts or something instead) then it may not find the inspiration; an ISTP wouldn't prefer theoretical stuff usually even if it is interesting or challenging

I'm an INTP, but after the pandemic my concentration spam has decreased so much that I feel very dumb all the time and I don't know if it's just me but whether I feel confident or not towards a subject interferes a lot on my learning process and learning testing too, which is upsetting anyways, gonna try to use this in my favor and regain some confidence :/

Went through that last year. I was advised that apparently the best way to solve this is to purposefully bore yourself so that in situations that matter you can have great focus
I'm an ENFP and feel like I'm rudimentarily smart in a bunch of different things a little bit. I feel like learning a new thing every month, but I quickly lose interest before I learn more than just the basics.
@@anonymousowl7099 Yes in conversation. But when F types say it, they are saying it from a place of personal value assessment. The same deeper assessment is present when T types say I think... But there they are from a place of personal truth assessment. So values vs.truths orientations.
I love how in these comments everyone is obsessing over INTPs and INTJs, but almost no one is talking about ISTPs. I think ISTPs will always be one of the most overlooked types, and they probably like it that way. ISTPs have lead Ti just like INTPs, so they are bound to be very intelligent. They may not be quite as internally intelligent as INTPs and INTJs since they don't have high intuition giving them a theoretical path, but ISTPs are much better at understanding how to actually put intelligence into action, and that's why ISTPs are more likely going to be the ones out in the world actually performing the jobs which demand high intelligence. ISTPs seem to be underestimated and underrepresented often, but that might be just how they roll. They're to busy trying to perfect their craft to be slowed down trying to convince everyone of how smart they are like many other types like to do. I often wish I were an ISTP
But from what many observed... When it came to providing best long-term results even in areas ISTPs love like Car mechanics etc... INTJs have the upper hand. While ISTPs will take care of the problem at hand for the moment... They wouldn't have completely prevented the problem from coming back again. Like fixing the problem in brakes. INTJs would actually consider a lot of options and deal with the core problem.
@@ramachandrakavitha8065 It's probably true that INTJ's would be better at finding a solution once the problem is identified, but they would have a much harder time identifying the problem in the first place due to low Se, and once they've come to a solution they think is right, their lead Ni is going to make it very hard for them to accept other possibilities if they end up being wrong. An ISTP has a pretty good balance of Se and Ni, so they'd be better at reexamining the issue if necessary. This isnt to say that ISTPs have the upper hand in every situation though. In a theoretical environment, especially one where patterns are consistent, such as in engineering or architecture, an INTJ would likely do better.
@@freshmozzarello i tested on multiple tests as ISTP and think its pretty accurate for me, so im kinda happy that you talk so nicely ab us even tho we get overlooked so often
As an ESFP being married to an INFJ, we have vastly different strengths. She has a good habit of doing things the most difficult way possible but at the same time being a wizard of her craft and learning things deeply. Very good point of us all being smart in our very own ways! :)

I can verify this personally. My 17 yr old INTJ daughter frequently tells me she is the smartest person in the world and because I am her INFP mom, I totally agree with her. I should also add that my ESTJ husband often shakes his head at her and tells her she's got a lot to learn about a lot of stuff.
@@LittleMew133 I have an INFJ friend that's a 9w1. As an INFP I did score 5w4, but the results showed that excluding 5w4 I also scored close to 9w1, so maybe that could be helpful for you.

See, my experience is that it tends to be more the other way around. Most INFJs (especially when they get to age 13+ and their type’s more crystallised) are reasonably-good at maths. Maybe not as much on-average as INTxs and ISTPs but definitely above-average. Formal non-verbal reasoning where shapes are involved, ’though, can be quite poor. They can be exceptionally-strong but if there’s a discrepancy in an INFJ or smart ENFP it tends to be in-favour of verbal reasoning and pure math. and in disfavour of pattern-recognition (whereas ISFPs invariably have the latter nailed).
I'm ENFP and when I was younger I thought I was really stupid. After time it appeared that people sometimes don't understand me, because I think very wide, my analogies are very distant and I have very specific, abstract sense of humor. I also jump from subject to subject and I seem to be frivolous. But in real I learn very fast, I end being good in everything I start to be interested in, and there is a lot. I also did my PhD, my IQ is above average (I know, when you write it down, it lowers ;)), but still I'm not treated very serious sometimes. I think that ENFPs always seem dumb.
At 9:32 I'm glad that you pointed that out because as an INTP who is highly interested in things like Art and Music, it was so difficult for me to find my type because of the stereotypes of the INTP being more interested in science and math.
As an INFJ who has been interested in Maths, I can relate. But I think it was probably harder for you as I'm interested in Languages and music as well like a stereotypical INFJ
I like how you talked about how the different types bring different areas of intelligence. The fact is an IQ test only measures around 2-3 areas of intelligence when there is at least 9 (that have currently been studied). So given certain types cognitive functions some are more likely to score higher on and IQ test than others.
As an INTP/INFP (I score very similarly in T and F), I have always been told that I'm smart and in schools I managed to get high scores effortlessly (well at least I spent less time on study compared to my peers). But the intelligence can only get me so far, I'm the worst procrastinator and overthinker and I've been struggling with depression and self doubt. I honestly wish I were less of a thinker and more of a doer.
Same samee. I've heard some MBTI UA-camrs say that INFP and similar types are late bloomers, cause it takes us a while to really find what energizes us to believe in ourselves and figure out what sort of life we really want, and what things we want to work towards. Best of luck in life to you.
@@BombshElle_7 It's neither. It's just my way of acknowledging the P/J value as effectively being 50% so I'm functionally both. I'm a little more P then J so I put that first.

I'm an INTJ, and maths bore me to death. It's never interested me in the slightest and probably never will. Same goes for things like playing chess because it gets boring once you figure out the pattern of someone's movements. Anyways, my point is that the stereotypes mislead people in to assuming an exemplary ESFP has 0% introversion, intuition, thinking, or judging; nothing could be further from the truth, of course. I really wish people would be a little less up their own arses with typology. You are who you are and whatever type you end up being neither makes you special nor insignificant. You are you, and you are dynamic.
Estereotipe is the silly but entertainment part of MTBI, but that's not what MTBI is, personality are not 100% Introvert or extrovert, it's more a preference, you can be a INTJ with a high ET and looks like a extrovert and even develop your EN and look way different than the estereotipe of a INTJ.
Isfj intelligence is underestimated. There is the emotional intelligence that comes from connecting your experience with others in si fe function and the ti function that creates a frame work for all of that and incorporates it with intellectual and analytical stuff. Basically they have the best of both worlds.

As a highly-rational INFP (that gets mis-typed as an INTP a LOT), I am very glad Frank covered this as he did. One's personality type can influence their interests, but that's not the same as one's innate, raw processing power. Edit: So I've since completely microanalyzed my comment (yay anxiety!), I just wanted to clarify that I didn't mean to imply I have a lot of "raw processing power" if that's what anyone thought lol I just meant as someone who has learned as I've grown to compartmentalize my emotions and think rationally (to the point that I get typed as INTP more often than not since I've matured), I don't find the overly emotional, irrational, conventionally "stupid" INFP stereotype as fair or accurate, that's all. Anyone can develop and strengthen their weaker functions with time and experience. 😊

It's cute the amount of ~thinkers~ who are so intellectually insecure and clueless about how human beings work that they insist their own side of the misleading MBTI thinker/feeler dichotomy is the only one capable of rationality.

Problem is, many people mistype real-life INFPs as 'thinking' types precisely because we don't fit their dumb stereotypical expectations.
Great video! I do want to point out that Arnold Schwarzenegger is extremely intelligent. He was the worlds greatest bodybuilder at one point, became a Hollywood action star, and then became governor of California - despite being born in a different country. It’s truly incredible.
As an ENFP I can do and learn just about anything and everything the question is do I want to be proficient in it or a master at it... no I just love to try new things and learn new things but very few things do I actually continually go back to.
INTPs are cripplingly aware of our own incompetence. It does mean we learn from mistakes a little faster, but it also means we get so caught up in perfection that we end up not finishing things sometimes… or all the time… ever…
That's why people like INTPs. You can help an INTP improve by being like, "Hey, doing X causes Y", and they'll look at it and go, "Oh yeah, it does.", an INTJ will forget the Y part of the equation and then think everyone else is wrong.
I'm an INTP and I like to write. One time with another INTP, we were trying to figure out what type one of my characters is. After jumping around between ESTP (my original intention) and then supposing he was too emotional and must be an ENFP, but he lacked all the Ne-ness we know so well, we were shocked to realize he was a highly intelligent ESFP. How tf did I make an ESFP you ask? Must have been divine inspiration because FPs are... not me. He is one of my favorite characters. I don't get along with my ESFP MIL though.
Was an INTP in middle school but am now an ENFP. Gotta say, I’m a lot smarter now, because I decided to pursue happiness in a way that doesn’t align with society’s expectations, contrary to what I did in middle school (middle school I was all about getting A’s and becoming a doctor, now I’m a theater technology major and idgaf what my grades are)
Type doesn't change. the whole theory is about a humans nature... You've probably just switched to your unconscious or subconscious through cognitive transitioning.
INTJ I'm book smart but street stupid tbh, even though i know how people be thinking sometimes and what's thier next move exactly or what will trigger them at the moment somehow and can act accordingly, but mostly i fail to act correctly in situations that are entirely based on social or sentimental ground, i just don't know how .. also 2:17 is a proven fact basically a psychological effect called Dunning-Kruger effect, i like how you just summarise it in like 2 sentences lmao
The difference between sensory and intuitive explains my performance on various subtests when I took an IQ test in college. As an INFP, my lowest score was on the symbol search, but I did the best on Matrix Reasoning.
Maybe you have ADD or ADHD. If you also score much lower on digit span, this is even more evidence. ADHD people have low working memory and often also low processing speed.
Interesting. According to the MBTI manual, the type with the highest IQ on average is the INTJ (with INTPs being second). Another study that has been a hot topic on the internet for quite a while now, suggests that INTPs are the most likely type to be gifted (with INTJs taking the second spot here).
I've not taken the actual mensa test yet but have taken a lot of other tests. I was able to solve the difficult problems quite well but thanks to my inferior Se I've marked many easy questions wrong. These were mostly related to geometric visual stuff which my Ni Te faced absolutely no problem predicting the solution but when it came to choosing the right option I faqed up sometimes . Like choosing the option that showed 4:15 in the clock instead of choosing 5:15 which was the actual answer that I got... Thanks to my inferior Se and lost points for 2-3 extremely easy questions in tests..) there maybe a common error in iq tests for INTJs and can score less than what they actually deserve...
I think INTP has slightly more raw intelligence but of a useless variety that is only good for taking IQ tests while the INTJ is better able to get good grades in college.
As a person who switches between INTP and INTJ (according to the retook mbti tests) Can confirm that I like to gain knowledge and improve my knowledge for fun. This is a type of knowledge as well, I could use it to analyse the psychology of humans. And as for if I'm intelligent or not. I think I might be or may not be. I don't know, I don't want to depend on people's opinions so yeah. Whatever it is reading books, doing research and spending your night thinking about it is the best thing ever!
lol thank you for actually answering the question you asked. I'm so tired of people making clickbait videos with a question they never actually answer. Good job man.
“But you don’t hear them talking about helping people” True but I’m an INTJ that wants to use my intellect to be a surgeon. However…I will admit it’s for the salary mainly not the helping people part…
As an INFP though, I must say that I believe that INFJs have all of the best Cognitive Functions. Like, Ni psychic abilities + Fe empathy + Ti logical skills + Se mindfulness?! Amazing 😍
I doubt there is a better or worse in the objective value of CFs. Each serve their own concrete purpose and, if mastered and applied nobly, cannot really be compared to the rest. They're like different pieces of the same puzzle, but each carrying a specific meaning (part of the overall picture) that other pieces cannot replace.
@@YourCreativeDreamer I admire your imagination. When online INFJs talk about how abundant their imagination is, I start suspecting a mistype. Ni is not about imagination.
@@timefortee I am an INFJ and I do imagine and create reality grounded hypothesis/theories in my mind and and it bugs me that most INFJ on the internet are focused on imagining superficial things that I started to doubt whether if I'm an INFJ
Any other INTJs doing "creative" jobs here? I'm an INTJ, and while I am endlessly fascinated by computer technology (which is stereotypical) I've become a designer instead. Maybe that sounds weird at first, but being a good designer is not (only) about making things pretty, but also making things easy to use and easy to understand, it is making things EFFICIENT and this is what I love about it. Which in turn is very INTJ of me. I like working on design concepts and ideas that will help make the product better. That said, my favorite things to work on are websites, since you have to understand web technology to design good websites and I like interactive technology... I do frontend web development for myself. For a designer, I am a very tech-y person, developing new design systems, coding the designs and optimizing workflows for designers is my thing. For an INTJ, I am probably not a very tech-y person, maybe? I'm just wondering if there are other INTJs out there like me.
Your channel has been a blessing in disguise for me. I am an INFP. Since last 6 months, I have been watching your videos and it has helped me understand myself better. I used be a Turbulent type. But in last six months I have learnt to control all those toxic traits. I have literally turned myself around, so much so that even people close to me (including my parents) have started to notice and ask me how have I become so much calmer and confident all of a sudden. I really can't thank you enough man. Keep up the good work. P.S. - I forgot to edit the comment while I made the donation. So am posting this one instead. Keep up the good work. Cheers. 🙌
My INTP buddy just learns a bunch of random information & goes for things with a confidence that should not be possessed with so little baseline understanding. Pretty sure I've saved lives talking them out of things. After learning that there may be a large number among the population, it scares me more than nuclear weapons. Don't even get me started on the amount of conversations I've had that I now label "ridiculums" & "absurdums". ~INFP 7 year roommate with INTP
As an INTP I would say that is not at all typical. Most INTPs are indecisive due to a need to gather as much data as possible before coming to a conclusion. This makes us usually slow to act. Your friend is likely either mistyped or unusual. Chidi from the Good Place tv show is a comical exaggeration of our type and one of the few INTP tv characters. There are few things I hate more than assertions made with little evidence and few things I have researched enough to have strong convictions about to act on. We are also at the most 5% of the population.
@@thatshipscrazy6215 Well I never asserted anywhere in my comment that ALL INTPs are like that but my friend was given an in person evaluation which is supposed to be ideal to determine type. Also if you look at comments on many of FJs videos, you'll see lots of INTPs talking about how they just collect random bits of information & FJ has talked about the propensity towards over confidence in this regard. Furthermore even a fraction of the 5% of the global population is still a large number. I'm sorry if my comment has bothered you. It was certainly not directed at INTPs as a whole & it's something my friend & I have a good laugh over on the regular. INFPs are no exception to quirks, so don't read too much into it. Have a nice night✌
@@thatshipscrazy6215 As a fellow INTP, don't you think it's hilarious? All of these people putting on their thinking caps and acting like they are doing something. Gah, it makes me giddy! Obviously, we are the most intelligent, and the best of us suffer endlessly solely because of it. Identifying us as such would do nothing to subdue our suffering, as we would never accept the judgement as valid, from the lips of one who does not know their own mind, much less, the mind of another. See, these are the sorts of thoughts I have learned to suppress, so I now test as an INFP, sidelining the need for rationality as I see it in situations where my perspective could be harmful to others. However, no matter which way I look at it, it seems correct. Not only are we the most intelligent, but we are the only ones fit to perform such an assessment (though, perhaps, we are less likely than many others to do so). Of course, so many would wrongly interpret this as arrogance. I think of it, though, as a matter of respect. We (different people) all have our different realms of dominion. The realm of thoughtful analysis is ours (INTP). Understanding is our identity. The baker understands baking. The fisherman understands fishing. The dancer understands dancing, but who understands understanding? That's us. INTP's. And who understands us? In this way, we are bound to feel a connection or ability with regard to almost anything, as all things require understanding, but we will also always feel disconnected from these things, since our true connection is to what lies below--the very systems that move all things. When I see other people thinking, so often I feel like a professional observing an amateur. Even if they do well, I can't help but notice their missteps and want to guide them. Helping people learn how to think, though (especially without an invitation to do so), is sometimes interpreted as stepping on their shoes/infiltrating their dominion, when what they are thinking about is something they consider themselves learned about more so than you. While it is easy enough to pull the exposed thread's end and unravel their work, thus exposing their ineptitude, the question always returns..."toward what end?" There are few things I fear so much as that question. Like thought itself, I resent it, this demand that I actually look upon the world and analyze it again. The conclusions are always dire. Aha! The worst of them being that they are unlikely to care. If that happens, I am likely to dismiss them with little faith that they will ever overcome without my input. I am eager to be wrong in that regard, but it hasn't happened yet. You know what I mean? I find I do my best work when I am assigned a task. The more impossible, the better. When the world is reduced to a situation and the reason for every action can be easily pinpointed, the question is easy to answer. Toward what end? The completion of the task at hand. In this way, it is in willful mental servitude I find my comfort. In this position alone, I am able to forsake myself and the path of pains. In this way, I am able to know which part of me is my own will. What remains, then, can only be the influence of external forces, actualized as my own biased decision making. In judging my own decisions, then, I come to hate the world around me which never influences me to embrace my own will. The world never demands the presence of what I am, in its foolishness thinking it does not need me...us, in our raw form. The world will perish before it learns, I'm afraid. It desperately needs us to pull that thread and reshape the broken system that allowed the broken thing to remain broken. Don't you think?
@@sarahrose0622 I wasn’t offended or anything just saying your friend isn’t super typical for our type in that aspect! That doesn’t mean they are a bad or not an INTP necessarily. They sound fun and entertaining actually! MBTI is a sliding scale there will be variations within personality types. Just their sense of confidence you describe won’t be typical for most INTPs. They might be one in every other way. I am not as much as a homebody or as good at math as most INTPs. Everyone deviates a little. It is human nature to base our perceptions of personality based off the people we know. I was just assuaging your fears there were a lot of us like you describe😂. As an INTP I have a tendency to correct people maybe even when I shouldn’t. I did not mean to offend you either. Perhaps my response was too dry and came off as more critical than I meant. I’m sure you and your friend are delightful. It’s hard to convey proper tone over the internet.
I don't think creative intelligence is dependant on the feeling type, rather a balance of thinking and feeling. Creative arts has a lot of their own analytical assets plus needs the awareness of emotional connection. I believe it's more driven by intuition which pushes ideas to go further.
see i'm an INFJ. i'm 16 and i have an IQ of 140. sometimes i think maybe the intuition i was born with is what gave me a boost of natural intelligence, but also my ability to empathise with others. not taking into consideration my own results though, i do think there are far more intelligent INTPs than INFJs in the population, especially from those i've met personally. putting that aside i believe putting an entire category of people under specific numbers so to speak, is a flawed concept. even with headstarts and whatnot it does come down to the individual. but i did love this video and it made me smile the whole way through. thanks for the great content again FJ. have a good day :)
I know some VERY smart ESFPs. Fairly sure that one of them has a 132 IQ. I would agree that the INTPs probably are the smartest types (or at least come across smarter). But this world is also super bias for xNTx types in general (except ENTPs. Almost everyone finds us annoying and difficult). Give the ESFPs more credit! They deserve it
One of my roommates was an ESFP with really high grades/national merit/amazing ACT score but I feel like she was much more focused on experiencing life than thinking about it. I’m an INTP and if people talked to me they would probably think I was smarter than my roommate when she could whip me at any IQ test. But I spend A LOT more time reflecting on my life and the world and the big questions. It’s the creativity, big picture thinking, and reflective nature that make us seem smart because those traits help us come up with unique ideas in a world where it feels like there are none. My ESFP roommate just doesn’t interact with life that way and it doesn’t make her any less smart. Her intelligence is just used in very different ways. (Also as an INTP woman I don’t think people perceiving me as smart or “intellectual bias” means the world is built for me at all. I am constantly told I am nothing a woman should be. Also the one of the most well liked people I know is an ENTP.)
as long as you don't waste your time watching anime like 90% hopeless INTPs do, you can be very smart as any type. But I believe an introvert would tolerate styding time alone for much longer than someone like Fe or Ne dom.
@@thatshipscrazy6215 Just because the world has a xNTx bias (which apparently not everyone agrees on), does not mean that the world is built for us... I would say that the world is built more for the xSxJ types... I think people just see the xNTx types as smart(er), generally speaking (and the xNFx types, but they get less credit as they are feelers). On the ENTP point, I think that ExxP types in general are perceived as well-liked and/or popular, but I think that a lot of people (especially xSxJ types) see the dominant Ne of the ENTP as annoying during conversation. At least, that has been my experience. I tend to be well liked but also that one person who is always on the outside of everything because I am so unpredictable (which is not a contradiction; both can be true at the same time. Thus it is perfectly possible to be both well liked and annoying)... Interestingly enough, I complemented INTPs and I got two (maybe three) to respond disagreeing with me. That made me laugh, but I don't blame y'all. INTPs are cool 😂
"INTJ is the smartest. I spent 10 minutes of my time I could have used to plan out my entire life to find out that this unreliable source of information says that a sensing type is the smartest."-INTJ
I truly feel social intelligence is hugely underrated, behind IQ (I know you already probably know my type just based on that lol). But I will say it’s finally starting to become more mainstream. I see Harvard Business articles talking about the importance of empathy in management often. The book “Resonant Leader” is also a great example of how important social intelligence and self awareness are key to well rounded intelligence and success. I was even assigned excerpts from the book “Social Intelligence” in my MBA program. But what do I know? I’m an ENFJ Data Scientist with a >130 IQ 🤷🏻♀️. I’m a feeler… but I REALLY care about those numbers, you guys!! Regression and AI have feelings too 😅🤓
Introverts generally dislike social things. Therefore we find social intelligence…. Unnecessary. However, a well adjusted introvert can be the biggest con artist.
@Jenna McGuire I'm an introvert and find social intelligence to be highly important. To be introvert doesn't equal social awkwardness. In a goal-oriented settings a team won't get anywhere if some don't know how to keep the harmony, the motivation, to handle the social problems that might arise, and at the same time to know when to be straightforward, specially as a leader. And in a one-person business you're more likely to keep loyal costumers if you know how to treat them right. Social intelligence can improve greatly your chances of success.
As an ENTJ, with a sister who's an INTJ and a dad who's and ISTP I 100% agree: both of them are so intelligent and they both get 90% or above in school tests- or any tests for that matter without studying and they both have high IQs.I'd be terrified if they actually studied >///< I myself don't do bad on tests without revising but to get as high as them I would *need* to revise even just a little. That doesn't go to say that every ISTP and INTJ is like that, but my dad and sister definitely are stereotypical in this case. Also, let's appreciate the different types of intelligence people without limiting it to just grades and IQ!
Istps are definitely a hidden gem. I mean I personally have a decreased interest in holding relationships with them over ne types, but they always seem like some of the most well rounded people I know.
@@felixtownn Not really, ISTPs do enjoy being acknowledged for stuff they're good at, but since MBTI has this strong NT bias and stereotypes, ISTPs tend to be overlooked by basically almosy every other personality, sadly.
Personality isn’t about what you can do, it’s about what your fears are and what you prefer doing. I do believe that intelligence in general, like the “spark”, does come from intuitive functions. The thing people get lost on is that a sensor can have really really strong intuition but just turn to facts and hard evidence unless they absolutely need to draw conclusions, which they will probably feel uncomfortable doing. A dumb intuitive will be utterly useless. They’re not intuitive enough to make actual headway with their dominant function, and dealing with things they can comprehend like manual labor or cleaning or hard evidence makes them miserable. Think the person who sees an online conspiracy once and believes it.
Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences! 👏🏻👏🏻 Intelligence by definition is the ability to adapt or modify your surrounding as per need.. By that logic, intelligence comes in various forms. And you're right, there's no correlation between types and intelligence & it depends on lot of parameters like practice, exposure, etc. People shouldn't limit themselves into types but use them to understand and improve themselves.
Intellect isn't only about how high your iq is cuz every type is intelligent in different categories... For exp as an intj I'm pretty good at coming up with strategic plans even at the last minute under pressure but I'm sure that SF types would kick the NT types ass when it comes to people and communication. I have an esfp friend who's like that. She's so good at seeing through people in public and understanding their feelings (although not so good when it comes to strategic things...) but I personally kinda suck at what she's good at
I think an interesting video idea would be, which of the thinking types has the highest EQ. (Emotional Quotient, maybe it goes without saying but I had to say what the initials stood for.)
Don t know but i would say the fe on third spot so entp and estp would win. But it certainly depends on if you prioritise fe over fi or the opposite in that matter
2:53 Oh yes! For me, it took a lot of self-reflection. What are my habits. How I learn things. And how I feel in certain situations. In short, I'm an INTP.

I loved how you refused to delete the writing mistake of the 'K' in the phrase "Hard know your type" (even if would have been the most "logical" thing to do considering it's an edited video), and instead you just over-writed on it. You have my like.
don't ever believe anyone who tells you their IQ, 40-yard dash time or how much they can bench press. on those, i don't even trust myself enough to believe myself
As a INTJ, I can say that there are some subjects that I am super good at and always score high, however there are also many subjects that I absolutely suck at, and usually score low on in school.
In terms of average IQ it's INTP and in terms of grades it's INTJ. That may say more about the tests than the people. The problem is that intelligence is extremely hard to define.
I usually like to divide it into three parts. Intelligence is the ability to acquire and apply new ideas and abstract thinking. This would correlate well with S-N spectrum. Another part would be Intellect, the ability to problem solve and do calculations, typically associated with the T-F spectrum. Lastly, something i like to call "Brain Performance", would be how fast and active your brain is. This fluctuates quite a bit, depending on diet, sleep, mood etc. However, i don't think any of these make a person better than the other, though they may be more traditionally smart. Thinking less in abstract ideas causes one to more easily be able to see things here and now, and solve problems based on that, definitely a useful trait. Being more feeling gives one a higher emotional intelligence, which also is useful. I think the main problem is that IQ measures things in a one dimensional spectrum, when it's much more complicated than that. There would not be any reason for nature to make some peoples' brains better than others, unless there was a defect or something of that sort. If you haven't guessed by now i am INTJ and i have been spending the past 2 weeks obsessing over this
I'm an ISTJ with a biological engineering degree, but I currently stay home with my four children. While I'm very intelligent, especially in the areas of math and science, my dream is actually to write children's books. My husband is an ENFP, and... he is a computer engineer! He's incredibly smart and really breaks the mold. He loves what he does because he uses his knowledge to help people. That being said, when he's finished with his work, he has a lot of pent-up energy and wants to spend the rest of his day having fun and socializing. My point is that you can't put people in a box, and type isn't everything regarding careers and intelligence.

Wouldn't it be fascinating to watch the sixteen personality types (Specially ISTPs) 1. as Princesses? 💕🩰 2. Inside a classic tale. (Imagine Istp as red riding hood or Cinderella)(An Istp Cinderella would probably ask the grandmother to burn the ballroom 😂) (it's just a joke) 3. As Greek gods and goddesses (as an INFJ, I want+dodon't want to be Athena) 4. Typing literary characters. (I wonder what's Beatrice's, from Shakespeare's plays, personality type is.) 5. As world leaders/politicians, historical or otherwise- Requested by my "not" friend, personality sibling INTJ Lyra Serpentine. 6. 16 personalities as countries(not existing countries, but what a country would look like if it was filled with just one personality type, etc., Or it could be 16 personalities as existing countries too! Either works) -Suggested by N. (The amount of times I have commented this is unhealthy and possibly annoying to some people. I apologize if this annoyed you.)
An ISTP god would depending on his view of humanity either doom everyone or send them to suffer greatly or ruin things or they would be like a caring father providing solutions to actual problems but an ISTP is not the princess type so you would most likely have them run away because they feel limited and princesses irl are often kept safe and from getting new experiences without security, as politician we would simply stack facts against our political opponents and very likely to just beat them logically albeit maybe to feeler types we would seem like soul-crushing or very blunt so perceived as rude or genius depending on whether you are a thinker or feeler in political situations. In a classic tale we would more so be the wolf than cinderalla or actually trying to fight the wolf quicker and seeing that the wolf isn't the grandmother immediately, we aren't a type to just sit back in stressfull situations and much more favor taking our faith in our own hand than letting it run us over although it always runs you over in the end that's just how human life works, however if we would be the grandmother we would just beat the wolf up because again we don't like not being in control and have quick reflexes.

As an INFP who was a high academic achiever and surrounded by many such people for years, I met people with genius-level IQs who were so lacking in perspective, wisdom, or understanding of life - or themselves, or humanity - that it fascinated me. It's like, you're so advanced at absorbing information and solving problems yet seem to have so little understanding of so many of the things that really matter. That's not to knock those people; their talents are certainly valuable, and they do have their place in the world. It's just interesting to me how differently different types of 'intelligent' minds can work.
And, just like with the Mozart example, you can get people who are amazing at math or science but hopeless at, for example, language and communication. I had someone like that in physics class in college. One time I was paired up with him to work on some very challenging problems that almost no one in the class could solve - but he could. Problem was, we were required to also write out verbal explanations of how we had solved the problems, and he couldn't do it. He struggled so much to find the words, he was on the verge of tears. Meanwhile, I didn't really understand how he'd solved the problems, but I kept on suggesting phrases and sentences that seemed like they could fit, and after a few tries, one of them would click with him, and in this way I managed to slowly write out the explanations, and together we completed the assignment successfully.
That's why, everyone is special in our own ways. No person is worthless, you are special the way you are. 💜
sounds like you were paired with an intp possibly turbulent.
edit: actually I have no idea, the "he was on the verge of tears" part leads me to believe otherwise. perhaps very turbulent, if so.
what a wholesome story 💛
I am an intp and it is exactly the same with me. I think in images, multiple languages, structures of thoughts and make a lot of analogies, and also when I am learning something new, I spend a lot of time connecting the thing i have just learnt with things I already know, literally making a net of my thoughts, And you can't get a single node without pulling the whole net down. This is very efficient for solving math problems, but it's really hard for me to convey my ideas through language.

My sister is an INTP and she scores very high on non-verbal IQ but quite average on verbal. My INFJ sister scores pretty high on verbal. I have always told my INTP sister that people underestimate her and she knows this too. Her thought process is brilliant but most don't get it. I am sure that's an everyday experience for INTPs.
I think really viable solutions to things that no one ever thought, but they think I'm stupid cos it's not normal or common thing to do. They also think unnecessary obstacles why it would not work when I already know it does work on some level. Well, they think what they want and what they are capable of. Let them have it. Maybe they are right sometimes too.
Where INFJs and ENFPs fail is not applying themselves to subjects they’re not interested in. They’re anything but lacking in inherent IQ/capacity.
I’m a female INTP as well. My TiNe functions are generally too complex and hyper, giving me a difficult time during discussions, debates, and explanations or small talk. I don’t claim to be smart but I hate being viewed negatively without given a chance.
That discrepancy between abstraction and cognisiantly-concrete Se reasoning tends to be the reason most INFJs have much-higher verbal than performance IQs. It’s not unusual for an INFJ or certain type of ENFP to have a verbal IQ of 130 and performance of 104 or even 88.
@Michelle Lee: that might be but IQ tests if anything are designed by INTPs for INTPs more-than any other type. Unless you’ve got a touch of A.D.D. I’m sure you can prove your intellectual prowess on a piece of paper better than anyone who’s not your type.
I love this! As an INFP I have always taught my INTJ son who scores very highly on most tests and breezes through school that there are MANY different types of intelligence that should all be respected and celebrated.
I really appreciate that. I'm an INTJ and have learned that people vary in talents and abilities. Creativity, academics, and practicality are all intellectual traits that we all have but in different measures. We can all learn from each other, and that kind of education is amazing. Great job, mom!
I see. Well, you’ve taught them incorrectly. Intelligence is defined in order to classify a specific trait - the moment you begin allowing it to become an all encompassing umbrella term, it loses all its meaning. Within the psychological literature, intelligence has been scrupulously defined as being “g” or “general cognitive ability” measured at an accuracy of about 0.95 by most registered iq tests. It is a stable, genetically inherited trait (at about 80% by late adulthood). EVERYTHING which you would consider “intelligent” collapses into g, except for the social awkwardness which apparently doesn’t. Even things you wouldn’t consider to be intellectual tasks necessarily (like being a genius composer or artist) require a near genius iq (140-145+) in order to accomplish at that level. Now, obviously not everyone that’s just ‘good’ at painting, or music, or dancing or socialising (cannot believe this is considered an intelligence by some) needs to have a genius, or even particularly high/ average, iq to do so. Hence, we call them talents - and that’s fine. We don’t need to make everyone feel “intelligent” in a different way. You are fortunate to have kids that apparently have “scored very highly”. Rather than teaching them that everyone’s dealt the same genetic card, teach them that they’re very fortunate to be given what they have, and that they should work as hard as they can to utilise it.
@@BombshElle_7 creativity is correlated with intelligence until about 120. A good indication of how creative someone is, is their iq score with a fluency score added to that. Someone that is practically intelligent (not sure how you would define it) would also quite likely be actually intelligent. Iq is correlated with long-term life success at about .5
@@ben_alfred I have taught him that he is very fortunate and am attempting to encourage him to use his intelligence to improve this world in some way. I understand your point about intelligence but if you need to call it talents instead, then whatever floats your boat. I also have not taught him that every one is intelligent. There is plenty of stupid around even in "intelligent" people. Everyone has their weak spots. I just want him to be able to acknowledge and be able to appreciate other talents.
That is important, love this. Thank you.
I heard an interesting speculation that INTJ's have the highest average IQ, but INTP's have the highest potential IQ. The reason for this is that the thought patterns of INTJ's and INTP's are different, where INTJs like to get straight to the conclusion and INTPs prefer more linear processing. So I would agree with FJ that INTPs take the cake with IQ, plus Einstein was an INTP.

There is scientific evidence that “Openness to Experience,” part of the Big Five model of personality, is correlated with intelligence. But thanks for making such a nuanced and well thought out video, FJ.
Sometimes it can take a lot of maturity to be super open to new ideas and seeing all perspectives. I have always thought of very narrow-minded people as less intelligent, but I try not to be overly critical over it or I else would be just like them and totally discredit my entire belief lol
@@rabidbunny2705 same
Judging individual Intelligence level is subjective unless you agree on the measures and like, how can we ever truly agree on that? I find a good way to measure intelligence in a casual and practical way, is to consider people smart on certain functions but not others. I think most people are very smart about 2-3 functions, and the rest are hit or miss
You'd have to define "intelligence".
As an INTP, I can assure all of you that we also don’t know what we’re doing and while we may excel in certain subjects that are stereotypically “intelligent” (yes I do calculus for fun), we more than make up for it in our uh, lack of grace in other fields. For instance, I’m pretty sure I hold the world record for the number of times I’ve stubbed the same toe on the same bedpost in three hours. Also what are social skills?

@@treazure INTPs have to team up with others. That way our ideas can come to fruition.
Exactly, I like planning and logic puzzles, but I'm so dumb at living. I always tell my friend that I'm confident in my IQ, but not so much on my EQ
I’m an intp and I fully agree
I'm an INTP and I literally always got the worst grades in STEM subjects. a part of me is like ''okay clearly I'm stupid'' *but* I also believe I would do better if STEM subjects were taught differently at our schools. I have friends who studied maths at uni and I'm always interested in what they have to say, because they're able to explain it to me like I'm five and talk about it in more depth rather than just hand me some abstract made-up maths problems to solve like a robot without telling me what the hell it actually means.
I was always more interested in humanities and I actually got a degree in linguistics (and a minor in literature) at uni. so I always roll my eyes at the ''scientist nerd'' stereotype (and not just because I'm an INTP who sucks at maths lol). it's good that you pointed out that intelligence is much more complex than that.
I can relate. I am an intp and I love history and literature. But sucks at maths. But i have always felt like if i understood it correctly I would love it. Like there were moments were i understood maths and loved to do it.
sucking at math might be a genetic disorder for INTP. there are some aminoacids which are toxic to thinking parts of the brain. but in that case you'd probably be istj/isfj. or you are just a misstyped infp.
School math sucks, they just shove theorems in front of you with no explanation or proof, which are the heart of mathematics. Math is before all a subject of exploration and creativity, but it's treated as apply-a-process subject. For those that still study math, I advise you to look for a simple proof of a theorem you are learning, and maybe even do a research on how someone just sat down with pen and paper and discovered a fundamental truth about the universe and beyond.
And as of "science nerd" stereotype, note that stereotypes don't exist for no reason, and that actually a great deal of intps are in fact nerds(I am an intp and am totally nuts for science, especially math).
There was a research done on a topic of creativity, and it was concluded that brain cannot generate thoughts out of nothing, but just makes new connections (conclusions) based on previous input. Therefore your sensory input, connections you later made between them and genetics solely determine your understanding of the subject. There are explanation that are compatible with your mind, there are explanations that are not compatible with your mind, and there are also mixtures of the 2. School basically puts everyone through the same mold.
I can’t learn from having people explain it to me. I have to read the book and do the homework by myself. If I learn it from the teacher I will learn it wrong so I have to actively block them out.
@@nuclearcatbaby1131 That's somewhat true for me too. I can do it in my own way. But i would lose everything if someone tries to explain it some other way.
I'm an ISTP, and I would say that being useful is more important than being smart.
Clearly an ISTP phrase
(said by an INTP)
I couldn't agree more. I really want to be useful and sometimes I'm even depressed when I think that I can't do anything in the world correctly. I don't really care if I'm inteligent or not, but I know dumb person when I see one and thats their problem. I just love how every INTJ in comment section is offended now and everyone is trying to prove something that nobody cares about.
Agree 💯
ISTP statement for sure. Agree with you.
Spot on for an ISTP lmao
I'm an INTP (I've taken the test many many times but the result never changed for some reason) and I am a person who enjoys complex sciences especially physics but what I've noticed is that if I don't find something interesting or challenging I don't have the motivation to go through with it.
In a way it doesn't matter how smart you are unless you can apply that to the real world.
Thats called ADHD...😆
> it doesn't matter how smart you are unless you can apply that to the real world
might wanna consider ISTP then, because an INTP will, in most cases, not care about whether or not what they know is practical, as long as it's interesting.
like the above commenter said, you could be an ISTP with ADHD, the latter often mimics Ne (though of course, one is a cognitive function and one is a disorder, so ADHD is far more serious). i'm not saying you are an ISTP or you do have ADHD, what i am saying is consider the possibility.
@@gassug2 Honestly I don't think the S type suits me because I don't really use my senses as much and am more intuitive. I did go through the ISTP's profile but although some things made sense I think most of it didn't apply to me.
As long as it's interesting I don't really care about whether it can be applied in the real world but at the same time I've realised that most people value practical application. I don't really prioritize it though.
I still standby what I said about it not mattering how smart you are until you can use it somehow because although my personality type is smart and I've been considered 'smart' this world weighs academic performance and conceivable possibilities on a higher scale.
It's more or less a blind standard but in my opinion there are very few things that are impossible, it's just that some things aren't possible under these given circumstances which is why every idea is worth exploring.

I love how in these comments everyone is obsessing over INTPs and INTJs, but almost no one is talking about ISTPs. I think ISTPs will always be one of the most overlooked types, and they probably like it that way. ISTPs have lead Ti just like INTPs, so they are bound to be very intelligent. They may not be quite as internally intelligent as INTPs and INTJs since they don't have high intuition giving them a theoretical path, but ISTPs are much better at understanding how to actually put intelligence into action, and that's why ISTPs are more likely going to be the ones out in the world actually performing the jobs which demand high intelligence. ISTPs seem to be underestimated and underrepresented often, but that might be just how they roll. They're to busy trying to perfect their craft to be slowed down trying to convince everyone of how smart they are like many other types like to do. I often wish I were an ISTP
Agreed
But from what many observed... When it came to providing best long-term results even in areas ISTPs love like Car mechanics etc... INTJs have the upper hand. While ISTPs will take care of the problem at hand for the moment... They wouldn't have completely prevented the problem from coming back again. Like fixing the problem in brakes. INTJs would actually consider a lot of options and deal with the core problem.
@@ramachandrakavitha8065 It's probably true that INTJ's would be better at finding a solution once the problem is identified, but they would have a much harder time identifying the problem in the first place due to low Se, and once they've come to a solution they think is right, their lead Ni is going to make it very hard for them to accept other possibilities if they end up being wrong. An ISTP has a pretty good balance of Se and Ni, so they'd be better at reexamining the issue if necessary. This isnt to say that ISTPs have the upper hand in every situation though. In a theoretical environment, especially one where patterns are consistent, such as in engineering or architecture, an INTJ would likely do better.

maths and therefore logic is a learnable skill. You just need the right approach and tenacity to learn it
Same.
See, my experience is that it tends to be more the other way around. Most INFJs (especially when they get to age 13+ and their type’s more crystallised) are reasonably-good at maths. Maybe not as much on-average as INTxs and ISTPs but definitely above-average. Formal non-verbal reasoning where shapes are involved, ’though, can be quite poor. They can be exceptionally-strong but if there’s a discrepancy in an INFJ or smart ENFP it tends to be in-favour of verbal reasoning and pure math. and in disfavour of pattern-recognition (whereas ISFPs invariably have the latter nailed).
same.

I like how frank aggressively clicks on the board or laughs awkwardly trying to make his ideas clear and understandable
I like how you talked about how the different types bring different areas of intelligence. The fact is an IQ test only measures around 2-3 areas of intelligence when there is at least 9 (that have currently been studied). So given certain types cognitive functions some are more likely to score higher on and IQ test than others.
Yep! See also my other comment
IQ doesn’t only measure 2-3 areas, it is basically G and studies all of them as independent variables when their correlation it’s between 0.7 and 1
As an INTP/INFP (I score very similarly in T and F), I have always been told that I'm smart and in schools I managed to get high scores effortlessly (well at least I spent less time on study compared to my peers). But the intelligence can only get me so far, I'm the worst procrastinator and overthinker and I've been struggling with depression and self doubt.

As an infp I am always pulling in and processing new information. That’s what brings me to your channel.
As an ENFP I can do and learn just about anything and everything the question is do I want to be proficient in it or a master at it... no I just love to try new things and learn new things but very few things do I actually continually go back to.
INTPs are cripplingly aware of our own incompetence. It does mean we learn from mistakes a little faster, but it also means we get so caught up in perfection that we end up not finishing things sometimes… or all the time… ever…
It’s because of Ne that tends to be put minimal effort in one thing because their focus is widened and spread out towards a wide spectrum of things
That's why people like INTPs. You can help an INTP improve by being like, "Hey, doing X causes Y", and they'll look at it and go, "Oh yeah, it does.", an INTJ will forget the Y part of the equation and then think everyone else is wrong.

After jumping around between ESTP (my original intention) and then supposing he was too emotional and must be an ENFP, but he lacked all the Ne-ness we know so well, we were shocked to realize he was a highly intelligent ESFP. How tf did I make an ESFP you ask? Must have been divine inspiration because FPs are... not me. He is one of my favorite characters. I don't get along with my ESFP MIL though.

The difference between sensory and intuitive explains my performance on various subtests when I took an IQ test in college. As an INFP, my lowest score was on the symbol search, but I did the best on Matrix Reasoning.

Maybe you have ADD or ADHD. If you also score much lower on digit span, this is even more evidence. ADHD people have low working memory and often also low processing speed.
I loved the block test, the one with the squares of red and white triangles.
Interesting. According to the MBTI manual, the type with the highest IQ on average is the INTJ (with INTPs being second). Another study that has been a hot topic on the internet for quite a while now, suggests that INTPs are the most likely type to be gifted (with INTJs taking the second spot here).
And that would explain why I don't mind getting second hand gifts, also called antiques.

I've not taken the actual mensa test yet but have taken a lot of other tests. I was able to solve the difficult problems quite well but thanks to my inferior Se I've marked many easy questions wrong. These were mostly related to geometric visual stuff which my Ni Te faced absolutely no problem predicting the solution but when it came to choosing the right option I faqed up sometimes . Like choosing the option that showed 4:15 in the clock instead of choosing 5:15 which was the actual answer that I got... Thanks to my inferior Se and lost points for 2-3 extremely easy questions in tests..) there maybe a common error in iq tests for INTJs and can score less than what they actually deserve...
I think INTP has slightly more raw intelligence but of a useless variety that is only good for taking IQ tests while the INTJ is better able to get good grades in college.
Great to know but I believe frank James over your internet article that istp is one of the smartest types

lol thank you for actually answering the question you asked. I'm so tired of people making clickbait videos with a question they never actually answer. Good job man.
“But you don’t hear them talking about helping people” True but I’m an INTJ that wants to use my intellect to be a surgeon. However…I will admit it’s for the salary mainly not the helping people part…
nothing wrong with helping #1. If you do well enough, you can then be a help to others.
I both admire n shocked by ur honesty (the mild shock lasted just a few seconds but admiration will probably last a lot lot longer)
INTP here interested in heath relate stuff for the sake of knowledge, helping people it's an afterthought, I guess it's natural for NT people.
The beauty of capitalism right there, lol.
Well but you would be helping more people than usual people can.. And you'll get paid for it. I see it as a win win.
As an INFP though, I must say that I believe that INFJs have all of the best Cognitive Functions. Like, Ni psychic abilities + Fe empathy + Ti logical skills + Se mindfulness?! Amazing 😍
I doubt there is a better or worse in the objective value of CFs. Each serve their own concrete purpose and, if mastered and applied nobly, cannot really be compared to the rest. They're like different pieces of the same puzzle, but each carrying a specific meaning (part of the overall picture) that other pieces cannot replace.
@@timefortee Yeah I guess I just admire how Ni/Se users are more rooted in reality than we Ne/Si users are.
@@YourCreativeDreamer I admire your imagination. When online INFJs talk about how abundant their imagination is, I start suspecting a mistype. Ni is not about imagination.
Thanks
@@timefortee I am an INFJ and I do imagine and create reality grounded hypothesis/theories in my mind and and it bugs me that most INFJ on the internet are focused on imagining superficial things that I started to doubt whether if I'm an INFJ
Any other INTJs doing "creative" jobs here?
I'm an INTJ, and while I am endlessly fascinated by computer technology (which is stereotypical) I've become a designer instead. Maybe that sounds weird at first, but being a good designer is not (only) about making things pretty, but also making things easy to use and easy to understand, it is making things EFFICIENT and this is what I love about it. Which in turn is very INTJ of me. I like working on design concepts and ideas that will help make the product better. That said, my favorite things to work on are websites, since you have to understand web technology to design good websites and I like interactive technology... I do frontend web development for myself. For a designer, I am a very tech-y person, developing new design systems, coding the designs and optimizing workflows for designers is my thing. For an INTJ, I am probably not a very tech-y person, maybe? I'm just wondering if there are other INTJs out there like me.
Your channel has been a blessing in disguise for me. I am an INFP. Since last 6 months, I have been watching your videos and it has helped me understand myself better. I used be a Turbulent type. But in last six months I have learnt to control all those toxic traits. I have literally turned myself around, so much so that even people close to me (including my parents) have started to notice and ask me how have I become so much calmer and confident all of a sudden.
I really can't thank you enough man. Keep up the good work.
P.S. - I forgot to edit the comment while I made the donation. So am posting this one instead. Keep up the good work. Cheers. 🙌

Which makes sense.
Intuition is kind of like that instinct to understand something.
And sometimes, how to make it better.
My INTP buddy just learns a bunch of random information & goes for things with a confidence that should not be possessed with so little baseline understanding. Pretty sure I've saved lives talking them out of things. After learning that there may be a large number among the population, it scares me more than nuclear weapons. Don't even get me started on the amount of conversations I've had that I now label "ridiculums" & "absurdums".
~INFP 7 year roommate with INTP
As a fellow INFP, I must say I've had moments like that 😶 Meeting your buddy during one of those moments would either be comically tragic, or epic 😅
As an INTP I would say that is not at all typical. Most INTPs are indecisive due to a need to gather as much data as possible before coming to a conclusion. This makes us usually slow to act. Your friend is likely either mistyped or unusual. Chidi from the Good Place tv show is a comical exaggeration of our type and one of the few INTP tv characters. There are few things I hate more than assertions made with little evidence and few things I have researched enough to have strong convictions about to act on. We are also at the most 5% of the population.
@@thatshipscrazy6215 Well I never asserted anywhere in my comment that ALL INTPs are like that but my friend was given an in person evaluation which is supposed to be ideal to determine type. Also if you look at comments on many of FJs videos, you'll see lots of INTPs talking about how they just collect random bits of information & FJ has talked about the propensity towards over confidence in this regard. Furthermore even a fraction of the 5% of the global population is still a large number.
I'm sorry if my comment has bothered you. It was certainly not directed at INTPs as a whole & it's something my friend & I have a good laugh over on the regular. INFPs are no exception to quirks, so don't read too much into it. Have a nice night✌
@@thatshipscrazy6215 As a fellow INTP, don't you think it's hilarious? All of these people putting on their thinking caps and acting like they are doing something. Gah, it makes me giddy! Obviously, we are the most intelligent, and the best of us suffer endlessly solely because of it. Identifying us as such would do nothing to subdue our suffering, as we would never accept the judgement as valid, from the lips of one who does not know their own mind, much less, the mind of another.
See, these are the sorts of thoughts I have learned to suppress, so I now test as an INFP, sidelining the need for rationality as I see it in situations where my perspective could be harmful to others. However, no matter which way I look at it, it seems correct. Not only are we the most intelligent, but we are the only ones fit to perform such an assessment (though, perhaps, we are less likely than many others to do so). Of course, so many would wrongly interpret this as arrogance. I think of it, though, as a matter of respect. We (different people) all have our different realms of dominion. The realm of thoughtful analysis is ours (INTP). Understanding is our identity. The baker understands baking. The fisherman understands fishing. The dancer understands dancing, but who understands understanding? That's us. INTP's. And who understands us? In this way, we are bound to feel a connection or ability with regard to almost anything, as all things require understanding, but we will also always feel disconnected from these things, since our true connection is to what lies below--the very systems that move all things.
When I see other people thinking, so often I feel like a professional observing an amateur. Even if they do well, I can't help but notice their missteps and want to guide them. Helping people learn how to think, though (especially without an invitation to do so), is sometimes interpreted as stepping on their shoes/infiltrating their dominion, when what they are thinking about is something they consider themselves learned about more so than you. While it is easy enough to pull the exposed thread's end and unravel their work, thus exposing their ineptitude, the question always returns..."toward what end?" There are few things I fear so much as that question. Like thought itself, I resent it, this demand that I actually look upon the world and analyze it again. The conclusions are always dire. Aha! The worst of them being that they are unlikely to care. If that happens, I am likely to dismiss them with little faith that they will ever overcome without my input. I am eager to be wrong in that regard, but it hasn't happened yet.
You know what I mean?
I find I do my best work when I am assigned a task. The more impossible, the better. When the world is reduced to a situation and the reason for every action can be easily pinpointed, the question is easy to answer. Toward what end? The completion of the task at hand. In this way, it is in willful mental servitude I find my comfort. In this position alone, I am able to forsake myself and the path of pains. In this way, I am able to know which part of me is my own will. What remains, then, can only be the influence of external forces, actualized as my own biased decision making. In judging my own decisions, then, I come to hate the world around me which never influences me to embrace my own will. The world never demands the presence of what I am, in its foolishness thinking it does not need me...us, in our raw form. The world will perish before it learns, I'm afraid. It desperately needs us to pull that thread and reshape the broken system that allowed the broken thing to remain broken.
Don't you think?
@@sarahrose0622 I wasn’t offended or anything just saying your friend isn’t super typical for our type in that aspect! That doesn’t mean they are a bad or not an INTP necessarily. They sound fun and entertaining actually! MBTI is a sliding scale there will be variations within personality types. Just their sense of confidence you describe won’t be typical for most INTPs. They might be one in every other way. I am not as much as a homebody or as good at math as most INTPs. Everyone deviates a little. It is human nature to base our perceptions of personality based off the people we know. I was just assuaging your fears there were a lot of us like you describe😂. As an INTP I have a tendency to correct people maybe even when I shouldn’t. I did not mean to offend you either. Perhaps my response was too dry and came off as more critical than I meant. I’m sure you and your friend are delightful. It’s hard to convey proper tone over the internet.
Imagine a world of INTJ... I don't think the universe could handle it.
As an INTJ, that would be absolutely awful
As an INTJ I can confirm the universe could not handle a full world of us. I don’t think we would even handle it ourselves

I don't think creative intelligence is dependant on the feeling type, rather a balance of thinking and feeling. Creative arts has a lot of their own analytical assets plus needs the awareness of emotional connection. I believe it's more driven by intuition which pushes ideas to go further.
see i'm an INFJ. i'm 16 and i have an IQ of 140. sometimes i think maybe the intuition i was born with is what gave me a boost of natural intelligence, but also my ability to empathise with others. not taking into consideration my own results though, i do think there are far more intelligent INTPs than INFJs in the population, especially from those i've met personally. putting that aside i believe putting an entire category of people under specific numbers so to speak, is a flawed concept. even with headstarts and whatnot it does come down to the individual. but i did love this video and it made me smile the whole way through. thanks for the great content again FJ. have a good day :)
I know some VERY smart ESFPs. Fairly sure that one of them has a 132 IQ. I would agree that the INTPs probably are the smartest types (or at least come across smarter). But this world is also super bias for xNTx types in general (except ENTPs. Almost everyone finds us annoying and difficult). Give the ESFPs more credit! They deserve it
I don’t think this world has a bias to NT types at all. However, I agree about ESFPs though. I know one who is very smart as well. -INTP
One of my roommates was an ESFP with really high grades/national merit/amazing ACT score but I feel like she was much more focused on experiencing life than thinking about it. I’m an INTP and if people talked to me they would probably think I was smarter than my roommate when she could whip me at any IQ test. But I spend A LOT more time reflecting on my life and the world and the big questions. It’s the creativity, big picture thinking, and reflective nature that make us seem smart because those traits help us come up with unique ideas in a world where it feels like there are none. My ESFP roommate just doesn’t interact with life that way and it doesn’t make her any less smart. Her intelligence is just used in very different ways. (Also as an INTP woman I don’t think people perceiving me as smart or “intellectual bias” means the world is built for me at all. I am constantly told I am nothing a woman should be. Also the one of the most well liked people I know is an ENTP.)
as long as you don't waste your time watching anime like 90% hopeless INTPs do, you can be very smart as any type. But I believe an introvert would tolerate styding time alone for much longer than someone like Fe or Ne dom.
@@thatshipscrazy6215 Just because the world has a xNTx bias (which apparently not everyone agrees on), does not mean that the world is built for us... I would say that the world is built more for the xSxJ types... I think people just see the xNTx types as smart(er), generally speaking (and the xNFx types, but they get less credit as they are feelers). On the ENTP point, I think that ExxP types in general are perceived as well-liked and/or popular, but I think that a lot of people (especially xSxJ types) see the dominant Ne of the ENTP as annoying during conversation. At least, that has been my experience. I tend to be well liked but also that one person who is always on the outside of everything because I am so unpredictable (which is not a contradiction; both can be true at the same time. Thus it is perfectly possible to be both well liked and annoying)... Interestingly enough, I complemented INTPs and I got two (maybe three) to respond disagreeing with me. That made me laugh, but I don't blame y'all. INTPs are cool 😂
No I think the world is biased against N types in general, especially xNxP

I truly feel social intelligence is hugely underrated, behind IQ (I know you already probably know my type just based on that lol). But I will say it’s finally starting to become more mainstream. I see Harvard Business articles talking about the importance of empathy in management often. The book “Resonant Leader” is also a great example of how important social intelligence and self awareness are key to well rounded intelligence and success. I was even assigned excerpts from the book “Social Intelligence” in my MBA program.
But what do I know? I’m an ENFJ Data Scientist with a >130 IQ 🤷🏻♀️. I’m a feeler… but I REALLY care about those numbers, you guys!! Regression and AI have feelings too 😅🤓
Introverts generally dislike social things. Therefore we find social intelligence…. Unnecessary. However, a well adjusted introvert can be the biggest con artist.
@Jenna McGuire I'm an introvert and find social intelligence to be highly important. To be introvert doesn't equal social awkwardness.
In a goal-oriented settings a team won't get anywhere if some don't know how to keep the harmony, the motivation, to handle the social problems that might arise, and at the same time to know when to be straightforward, specially as a leader. And in a one-person business you're more likely to keep loyal costumers if you know how to treat them right. Social intelligence can improve greatly your chances of success.
@@EnnoiaM I never said all introverts are socially awkward. I am not socially awkward.
As an ENTJ, with a sister who's an INTJ and a dad who's and ISTP I 100% agree: both of them are so intelligent and they both get 90% or above in school tests- or any tests for that matter without studying and they both have high IQs.I'd be terrified if they actually studied >///< I myself don't do bad on tests without revising but to get as high as them I would *need* to revise even just a little. That doesn't go to say that every ISTP and INTJ is like that, but my dad and sister definitely are stereotypical in this case. Also, let's appreciate the different types of intelligence people without limiting it to just grades and IQ!
well but entj is very intelligent as well, i would say top 5 along with entp, istp, intj and intp
Istps are definitely a hidden gem. I mean I personally have a decreased interest in holding relationships with them over ne types, but they always seem like some of the most well rounded people I know.
I think they're best kept as a hidden gem. Maybe that's what they enjoy :)
@@felixtownn Not really, ISTPs do enjoy being acknowledged for stuff they're good at, but since MBTI has this strong NT bias and stereotypes, ISTPs tend to be overlooked by basically almosy every other personality, sadly.
Personality isn’t about what you can do, it’s about what your fears are and what you prefer doing. I do believe that intelligence in general, like the “spark”, does come from intuitive functions. The thing people get lost on is that a sensor can have really really strong intuition but just turn to facts and hard evidence unless they absolutely need to draw conclusions, which they will probably feel uncomfortable doing. A dumb intuitive will be utterly useless. They’re not intuitive enough to make actual headway with their dominant function, and dealing with things they can comprehend like manual labor or cleaning or hard evidence makes them miserable. Think the person who sees an online conspiracy once and believes it.
A dumb intuitive 😂 there are a lot of those . The world rewards intuitives but doesn’t nuture them unfortunately.
@@jays7259 The "world" _rewards_ them..how????
@@timefortee pardon me , “praises” them
Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences! 👏🏻👏🏻
Intelligence by definition is the ability to adapt or modify your surrounding as per need.. By that logic, intelligence comes in various forms.
And you're right, there's no correlation between types and intelligence & it depends on lot of parameters like practice, exposure, etc. People shouldn't limit themselves into types but use them to understand and improve themselves.
Intellect isn't only about how high your iq is cuz every type is intelligent in different categories... For exp as an intj I'm pretty good at coming up with strategic plans even at the last minute under pressure but I'm sure that SF types would kick the NT types ass when it comes to people and communication. I have an esfp friend who's like that. She's so good at seeing through people in public and understanding their feelings (although not so good when it comes to strategic things...) but I personally kinda suck at what she's good at
I think an interesting video idea would be, which of the thinking types has the highest EQ. (Emotional Quotient, maybe it goes without saying but I had to say what the initials stood for.)
A very interesting topic right there, that would be good to watch
The healthy ones
@@fairyfellermasterstroke exactly this!
EQ is mostly about how emotionally stable you are.. Type wouldn't do much in it either
Don t know but i would say the fe on third spot so entp and estp would win.
But it certainly depends on if you prioritise fe over fi or the opposite in that matter
Wtf is EQ, a test feelers made not to feel bad about their IQ test results?

Oh yes! For me, it took a lot of self-reflection.
What are my habits. How I learn things.
And how I feel in certain situations.
In short, I'm an INTP.
I loved how you refused to delete the writing mistake of the 'K' in the phrase "Hard know your type" (even if would have been the most "logical" thing to do considering it's an edited video), and instead you just over-writed on it.
You have my like.
love to see him letting the hair grow
post coitus hair deffff lol
don't ever believe anyone who tells you their IQ, 40-yard dash time or how much they can bench press. on those, i don't even trust myself enough to believe myself
I like to think that my intelligent makes me become INTP rather than the other way around
Intelligence; corrected by an ISFJ-T 😎
I’ve watched and read many stuff about this but, as I expected, FJ didn’t disappoint me at all. So love you, FJ! Platonic crush, that is 😉
As a INTJ, I can say that there are some subjects that I am super good at and always score high, however there are also many subjects that I absolutely suck at, and usually score low on in school.
This might sound offending , but it’s always between INTP INTJ ENTP and ENTJ
In terms of average IQ it's INTP and in terms of grades it's INTJ. That may say more about the tests than the people. The problem is that intelligence is extremely hard to define.
I usually like to divide it into three parts. Intelligence is the ability to acquire and apply new ideas and abstract thinking. This would correlate well with S-N spectrum. Another part would be Intellect, the ability to problem solve and do calculations, typically associated with the T-F spectrum. Lastly, something i like to call "Brain Performance", would be how fast and active your brain is. This fluctuates quite a bit, depending on diet, sleep, mood etc.
However, i don't think any of these make a person better than the other, though they may be more traditionally smart. Thinking less in abstract ideas causes one to more easily be able to see things here and now, and solve problems based on that, definitely a useful trait. Being more feeling gives one a higher emotional intelligence, which also is useful. I think the main problem is that IQ measures things in a one dimensional spectrum, when it's much more complicated than that. There would not be any reason for nature to make some peoples' brains better than others, unless there was a defect or something of that sort.
If you haven't guessed by now i am INTJ and i have been spending the past 2 weeks obsessing over this
I'm an ISTJ with a biological engineering degree, but I currently stay home with my four children. While I'm very intelligent, especially in the areas of math and science, my dream is actually to write children's books.
My husband is an ENFP, and... he is a computer engineer! He's incredibly smart and really breaks the mold. He loves what he does because he uses his knowledge to help people. That being said, when he's finished with his work, he has a lot of pent-up energy and wants to spend the rest of his day having fun and socializing.
My point is that you can't put people in a box, and type isn't everything regarding careers and intelligence.
Thanks for the new video. 😊

2. Inside a classic tale. (Imagine Istp as red riding hood or Cinderella)(An Istp Cinderella would probably ask the grandmother to burn the ballroom 😂) (it's just a joke)
3. As Greek gods and goddesses (as an INFJ, I want+dodon't want to be Athena)
4. Typing literary characters. (I wonder what's Beatrice's, from Shakespeare's plays, personality type is.)
5. As world leaders/politicians, historical or otherwise- Requested by my "not" friend, personality sibling INTJ Lyra Serpentine.
6. 16 personalities as countries(not existing countries, but what a country would look like if it was filled with just one personality type, etc., Or it could be 16 personalities as existing countries too! Either works)
-Suggested by N.
(The amount of times I have commented this is unhealthy and possibly annoying to some people. I apologize if this annoyed you.)
Looks like you've typed this comment beforehand lol
So I’m assuming your crush or something Is ISTP
An ISTP god would depending on his view of humanity either doom everyone or send them to suffer greatly or ruin things or they would be like a caring father providing solutions to actual problems but an ISTP is not the princess type so you would most likely have them run away because they feel limited and princesses irl are often kept safe and from getting new experiences without security, as politician we would simply stack facts against our political opponents and very likely to just beat them logically albeit maybe to feeler types we would seem like soul-crushing or very blunt so perceived as rude or genius depending on whether you are a thinker or feeler in political situations.
In a classic tale we would more so be the wolf than cinderalla or actually trying to fight the wolf quicker and seeing that the wolf isn't the grandmother immediately, we aren't a type to just sit back in stressfull situations and much more favor taking our faith in our own hand than letting it run us over although it always runs you over in the end that's just how human life works, however if we would be the grandmother we would just beat the wolf up because again we don't like not being in control and have quick reflexes.
