Ok, yes, *I know* that MBTI is not the best system and that it has issues.
That said, I think this chart (admittedly, from a blog post) is fascinating if it's true. It indicates that around 20% of the population produces around 50% of its geniuses. (Notably: I.N. seems to relate to low population representation and high genius numbers.)
Put another way, it seems that normies (in the personality sense) are less likely to be geniuses (in the iq sense). Or put less politely: If you have a high IQ, there's a 50% chance you're not a "personality normie".
This doesn't mean that your mbti predicts your intelligence, but I think this may help explain why so many smart people feel like they don't fit in with, or understand, people around them.
Interestingly, I.N. doesn't correlate well with earnings. Though J seems to. INTJ and ENTJ seem to offer the best mix of "genius" and earnings, with the former having a greater emphasis on smarts and the latter on income.
Just interesting stuff.
share your mbti type and insights =]
