But, for a certainty, back then,
We loved so many, yet hated so much,
We hurt others and were hurt ourselves...
Yet even then, we ran like the wind,
Whilst our laughter echoed,
Under cerulean skies...
My vote is ESTj.
For starters, there seems to be a correllation between high intelligence in N's and neurosis. Also, the higher the intelligence, the more difficulty fitting into normal life. Add in childhood abuse and you now have an even higher expectation for neurosis.
This man acts ESTj all the way. He almost brags about coming from an abusive childhood, he's capable of functioning in the real world even if it is a "low paying" job.
He talks about how he passed multiple grades without even trying. And yet he still walked away with knowledge from school. Every time I meet a highly intelligent person...or read about them....they tend to have difficulties in school, skipping classes to go to the library or to go work on an experiment of their own devising, or to go carry on conversations with adults in some field of interest, or becoming under-achievers.
It seems that the majority of the "intelligence" in him stems from stuff he's read and not too much from what he's thought up himself.
I can't get into all the little things that pop up into my head, nor can I do justice to the feelings I get about him. I'll just end by saying:
He seems very ESTj to me and seems to have an excellent way of categorizing information (in his head) for future use.

Wait, I thought this thread was about me... :wink:
As for the original question, I think IQ tests some certain kinds of intelligences, and the "bias" they have is toward intx types (since they are written by intxs), and underestimate the abilities of esfxs. IQ tests test for school intelligence. I think intelligence in general is the ability to solve problems and such.
If he's so smart, why hasn't he solved any major crises the world faces?
That title is completely arbitrary.
Sounds like someone who is Te dominant and can regurgitate information, based, on his amazing childhood ability to recognize objects.
And it was in his mind to 'outdo other people'. It was just his mindset. I don't think it is type related.
Posts I wrote in the past contain less nuance.

this is a thread regarding his type, not irrelevant arguments.
i think humans largely lack a coherent definition of what intelligence is. i dont think intelligence is a reasonable measure of anything in particular.Originally Posted by Rocky
Anyway, I always thought that it's sad when people with high IQ don't end up in jobs that make full use of their aptitude and intelligence. What a phenomenal waste. It is society's loss without their valuable contributions.
haha, I'd rather see someone with a high IQ not using it than someone with a low IQ in a position where they make valuable contributions to society and fuck it up for everyone...lolOriginally Posted by eunice
One of my favorite movies of all time comes to mind when reading this thread: Good Will Hunting.
I actually watched it again this past weekend. One of my favorite roles that either Robin Williams or Matt Damon has ever played.
why should someone be societies bitch just because they have a high IQ? Maybe the person would much rather make full use of their aptitude and intelligence in their free time instead of on a job. I don't think that'd be a waste at all, for the smart person at least. :wink:Originally Posted by eunice
i think the aim to "hold the universe in [his or her] mind" sounds like a dominant thinker--to think of their goal like that, as something that could be obtained, and something that could be accumulated, sounds like a dominant thinker.
I don't disagree with ESTj. I know it's a made for TV, but I find the way he talks familiar.
unlike this guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEAnFAxMcvg .. seems ENTj, especially toward the end of this longer series.
For some reason this guy just assumes he is intelligent ... his argument seems to be that bigger is better [he has a big head], that humans are among the smartest creatures and therefore close to being the smartest creatures, and disregards the fact that there is in existance some very intuitive and intelligent small creatures. All I have to say is this guy is no freaking intuitive.
huh????Originally Posted by rmcnew
I was thinking something like ENTj, ENTp, ESTp. Perhaps I say ENTj because he reminds of someone who I think might be ENTj. Even though he doesn't strike me as EJ that much. I doubt the ISTj thing even though he looks a bit like Doctor Phil (whose type I don't know but is sometimes claimed to be ISTj).
no LIE would even think about doing some of the stuff he did. i mean, the guy went to high school six or seven times on the basis that he wanted an enjoyable social experience (even if he doesn't say that). he looks incredibly LII to me.Originally Posted by Ms. Kensington
In the second video he makes the assumption that smaller animals are less intelligent because they do not necessarily communicate the same exact way that a human communicate, and then attributes that to brain size, then makes the assumption that brain size equals intelligence. This is by no means true at all.Originally Posted by niffweed17
It's not the size of the brain that determines intelligence. It's the brain to body ratio that determines intelligence.

i do not understand why you then reason that he is not intuitive based on this claim. i don't think, as a general rule, that it is at all an unreasonable claim.Originally Posted by rmcnew
well.. I think Sacha Baron Cohen is ENTj, and he did some crazy things. But maybe the first guy is ENTj.Originally Posted by niffweed17
It is not intuitive because it is not an intuitive claim. If he was intuiting he would most likely make an illogical connection to the multitude of animals who are small and do things that require some sort of intelligence. Not simply make a blunderous assumption based on falible logic with theOriginally Posted by niffweed17
main assumption that humans are the smartest animals on earth meerly
because you are one and then equate that with brain size, that is using logic not intuition.
IF Cohen is LIE, you would at least acknowledge that his motivations for doing "crazy things" was extremely different from those of this guy. Cohen is a comedian, and he did ridiculous things for the comic effect. that is perhaps a suspect trait of LIEs, but it makes infinitely more sense in an LIE than the obsessive, socially-oriented, and, frankly, extremely bizarre and foolhardy behaviors that this guy demonstrates.Originally Posted by Ms. Kensington
i disagree completely.Originally Posted by rmcnew
Explain why ...Originally Posted by niffweed17
i frankly don't understand why you would equate the idea with anti-intuition. it seems like a perfectly intuitive judgment to me.
the ILI detector goes off again!Originally Posted by niffweed17
anyway, I said my opinion of his type, and it seems other have consider leading as well.

I must not be Extraverted Intuitive then, because the assumptions he makes I will never ever make in my life and for the most part I find them very anti whatever I am.Originally Posted by niffweed17
so you're admitting that you have the exact same philosophy as any and all ENFjs in the world?Originally Posted by rmcnew
No, I am saying that if what he is using is not anti-intuitive logic, then I need to royally retype myself on account of finding his arguments extreemly disgusting and innacurate.
Assuming bigger is better is the same as assuming that a humming bird flaps its wings at a lesser frequency than that of raven, which is by no means true. The same goes for brain size. The problem with what the guy is saying is that he is assuming the intelligence of all creatures in theOriginally Posted by Traveler

here's my problem. obviously you disagree with the guy. that DOES NOT have anything to do with your type. frankly, i don't think there's any conflict here at all because i think the guy is without question an type. i understand the arguments for LSE and LSI but i don't think i could see him as Ne at all.
why do you assume that the guy must be sensory rather than merely a different (or an Ni) type?

yeah; i think LIE is by far the best fit, with EIE second.
I should probably also mention that he tends towards the Hindu/Buddhist type of philosophy and view of the world.
somehow it doesnt surprise me that you should say that.
