I'm not sure what being duals with an intelligent type says about you. Does that make you smart or dumb?

Neither, but asking that question sure says something.
Gilly meant Neither. He's just a fucking blowhard.

Just to clarify, duals IMO seem to compensate for the each other's weaknesses. So that would point to a skewed intelligence in the dual pair. However, since they have the same order of elements, when the "maybe less intelligent type" uses these "smart" elements, they place the same emphasis on them that the more intelligent type places on them. Hence, my confusion. There could also be no correlation and my first postulation can be wrong.
You're going to have to define what you mean by intelligence for this to go anywhere.
That he is.Quote:

You can claim this as soon as you know what you're talking about.Quote:

First of all there is technically no such thing as "an intelligent type".Quote:

Depends on what you consider to your own personal dumb/smart spectrum. For instance, one could easily point at any so called "smart" person and find many a "dumb" flaw within them. Smart or dumb at/in what !?!?!
In other words, duality isn't about that, specifically.
Live just thinks intelligent=NT.
Considering the way IQ tests are structured, she's following the commonplace definition of intelligence... the one most people here know is wrong... and the one INTps are secretly convinced of :-P
No Live, you are not dumb. You can kick those INTps' asses anytime you want.
For what's it worth, I've met some serious dumb SEE, but it didn't effect our relationship at all.
But what Liveandlive proposed, could also be looked at from the opposite angle. Having a powerful, witty, seductive, popular dual, what makes that us then :-)
Not to say that intelligence is type-related, but the normal conception of it (i.e. what is measured on IQ tests) is definitely related to logic, intuition, and Ti more than any other element. Which of course brings up the small issue of what it really means to be "strong" in a given element.
I've been reading the journal of a high-IQ society lately, and the kinds of experience its members share all seem to be related to developing NT at the expense of SF, regardless of their actual types.
