Socionics Intelligence System

That question lol.

If you define intelligence as a capacity to define meaning, then N types are smarter. If you define it as a capacity to adapt to your environment as it is typically accepted in academic circles, S types are smarter.

Which is in line with my observation that S types are far more prone to crime than N types.

It's politically incorrect but I'll admit my own biases seem to fall generally in line with this... having met many NTs and many SFs throughout my life I agree that NTs are generally more intelligent than SFs.

When I was in elementary school over here (in Ontario) all students were required to complete a standardized test. This was in early elementary school and to be honest I don't even remember the actual testing process/format. But students that scored high on this test (an IQ of at least 130) were automatically enlisted in a gifted program that they'd attend once a week instead of normal class. I didn't make the cut but the people that I do know that made it are mostly NTs. (both my INTp and ENTj friend made it)

While many disagree with the way IQ is scored I think it's a safe guideline and in everyday life when people use the term "intelligent" it is related somewhat to IQ. Personally I can't help but gauge whether a person is intelligent or not (in my opinion) and if I had to put a socionic order to it it would be
1)NTs
2)NFs
3)STs
4)SFs
Of course it should be kept in consideration that this list isn't static and there's individual STs and SFs that are more intelligent than individual NTs etc. you get the point.

This thread is bringing me down, man. I'd go drink my troubles away or something.

Have you ever seen me draw Dolphin? In pictionary if i have to draw a dog people are likely to guess "peice of fritz" or "Jiraffe" or something. Artistically i belong with the raggy dolls in the reject bin. Compared to me you're like in the louvre or something

But I don't even drink. What's a dolphin to do?

Swim in the ocean and protect swimmers from sharks, blow water out of your blowhole and make like sonar sounds. Oh and have sex for pleasure.
