I think alot of this is really open to speculation. Now I'm really good at problem solving but in school I never paid attention in class(if i even bothered showing up). Teachers reduced it to formal shortcuts and techniques which made the subject easier to get throught and pass and therefore sacrificed the subjects worth as a science. Its about getting the students through, not teaching them.
Now that I think back the most informative education I had about numbers involved the little cubic "units" that came in different blocks. Remember those? most algebra teachers at the highschool level don't think in "units" they just do the problems blindly, their problem solving skills are for the most part unconscious.
you ask someone to draw what a "cubed" or even "squared" number actually looks like- how the process is carried out, step by step, few people could do it. my guess is under 10% of the population can actually do that even though its easy to do. It's a testament to how powerful the unconscious really is.
It's quite simple- math is made boring, just like socionics can also be made boring. things lose their meaning once they become standardized. When i think in "cubes" i find math more interesting because it has a tangible essence- it is actually building something. I used to never know what the hell they were talking about when they said that this is squared and that is cubed. they never gave you time to think about it, you just had to do it and NEVER ask questions. you ask questions you'll probably stump the teacher or you will fall behind.
But as for the whole j/p thing with math- i don't know if you can really pin certainty in terms of numbers on to a specific type. I assume that j types are better at following an organized sequence of rules, but they can't give you an explanation as to what the hell what they are actually doing/can do like a perceiver does(typically from my observations so take it lightly). there is an interdependency. also our minds aren't made of a string of functions, that's just how its represented, so the variation is probably big among individuals in how they solve and explain problems.
