Thread: Types percieved as being most talented

  1. #1

    Default Types percieved as being most talented

    This thread may stir up some controversy, but I will go ahead anyways.
    In your personal opinion, which types do you believe to be the most intelligent? Personally, I believe that there is no "most intelligent" type, yet I do believe that some types are in general slightly more intelligent then others, or at least are perceived by most people as more intelligent.

    Again, there is no objectivity to this, I simply want personal opinions. If you were to create a list (from most to least intelligent) what would it be? Also, as previously indicated, if you (as I am sure many do) do not believe that certain types are more intelligent than others in general, then list those which you at least believe to appear most intelligent.

    4. Thinking geniuses, most likely, - this is the aggravated, maximum version of dialectical- algorithmic intellect. Its uniqueness consists in the free game of mind, the indefatigable imagination, the daring synthesis of oppositions. Practically always it accompanies [negativistskaya] with respect to the public opinion position. Mysticism frequently is present. But if western [tipologi] consider that the brilliant thinkers belonged to the type OR, then my opinion - to [EIE]. The unbalanced nervous system, is hotter heart and the [myatushchiysya], overfilled by associative means reason - here is that material, from which nature models geniuses.
    INTp's and ENFj's according to this bit of Gulenko's article.

    "Aggravated, maximum version of dialectical- algorithmic intellect" suggests that there are grades of intensity in which thinking styles appear. That does look a bit odd.

    Fi leading types will be the most emotionally intelligent. Fes will also be quite adept in emotional intelligence.

    Ni types tend towards extensive intellectual activity, and thus will be the most intellectually intelligent.

    ST types will be the most practically minded, and thus they will be the most practically intelligent.

    Heh, perceived as most intelligent? I'm going to say that INTps are ENTjs are typically going to be perceived as most intelligent. XSTjs too. And EXFjs perceived as most talented. ESFps can sometimes appear to be talented for no apparent reason.

    Different intelligences(WORD?!) matter in different cases.

    Case in point, i'm way more intelligent when it comes to hand on and movement, or logical crap.

    But i can handle the fuzzy human social sciences if I can stay awake long enough. Although not as well.

    The societal stereotype of intelligence is mostly attached to gamma NT's as far as I'm aware... Alpha NT's are usually thought to be smart and to have unusual talents, but people tend to be more aware of their fallability.

    And due to their greater concern of pursuing their interests, Alpha NTs are sometimes viewed of course as being "impractical" and "wasted potential."

    "How could we forget those ancient myths that stand at the beginning of all races, the myths about dragons that at the last moment are transformed into princesses? Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love."

    What precisely defines "unusual" in this context? What would be an example of these so-called unusual talents?

    IJ = smartest

    EP = dumbest

    Ti = smart

    Te = dumb

    Ne = smart

    Se = dumb

    (this isn't to say that it's the way things are, just the way things are perceived at first interaction)

    So INTj smartest, ESFp most stupid.

    Not systematic, but generally an highly extraverted person will be perceived as stupid, too.

    Does he mean ******? I often wonder if Gulenko really does misunderstand the West, or if he's just playing to the general atmosphere in the East.

    People who see the world as primarily logical are perceived as more intelligent by most. Mere awareness of logic implies intellect, as does the ability to set a logic into motion. Such people can deduce the effects of perception on logical decisions made.

    He's speaking of the transcendent and immanent functions here. Those who have the courage/strength/inner-drive to create a controversial position are perceived as more intelligent than those who follow after the same; people who can integrate these positions into the mainstream acquire influence, and so are regarded as more intelligent still. Mikhail Gorbechov, for example, is considered by most to be more intelligent than the "average" INTj who clocks a 9 to 5 job troubleshooting routine computer issues, despite the latter's attention to logic.

    I think its very interesting, what was in the material referenced by labcoat, because it does touch on the aspect of genius/intelligence (slightly different definitions but similar) that has to do with inner passion. I've said before, though maybe not on this forum, that desire seems to play a part in intelligence. Actually i think i said this in the chat. This also reminds me of a recent post Expat made about that dude who didn't know that la lune orbits the earth, that a lack of knowledge and its application indicates lack of curiosity, some sort of drive. yadda yadda yadda. it's very interesting to me.

    I honestly agree with Mia here. I mean c'mon, people can appear to be very intelligent, and once you actually sit down and talk with them you'll realize they're fulla shit. it also depends on the damn perceiver.

    I just think this is mental masturbation for the NT fuckers.

    Oh come on, you can't just say "rubbish," and leave it at that; surely my reply isn't the ONLY one that deserves that ruling.

    True. I had similar observations as well. I don't think talented people belong to any specific type. If Gamma SFs aren't smart and intelligent, how can they be Gamma NTs' duals? What a silly thread this has deteriorated into.

    if any SF's are dumb it's Alpha SF's that are generic and unoriginal and need to resort to basically sacrificing themselves to others in order to prove their worth

    I wasn't saying that it's the way things are, just the way things are perceived by a given subject at first contact with an EP or IJ. In any case, most people perceived as intelligent are boring, so you should be proud of not being so!

    It depends. IJ looks up to EP and EP looks up to IJ. The same with EJ/IP.
    I wasn't saying that it's the way things are, just the way things are perceived by a given subject at first contact with an EP or IJ. In any case, most people perceived as intelligent are boring, so you should be proud of not being so!
    wow this is a really dumb thread but if we're going there...why not?

    i think IP's are most intelligent and EJ's are the least intelligent. If we're talking in terms of "what does intelligence mean" this makes sense.
