[NT] Would an NT ever admit (s)he's of average intelligence?

I think that you'd be hard pressed to find anyone of any type who would admit to being of average intelligence, much less being stupid.

Not true... There are some people that are ok with being average and even relish in it.

I AM OF AVERAGE INTELLIGENCE!!!!!!!!!

(Waits to have NT license revoked :D )

Now intellectual humility: I'm afraid my NTness doesn't allow me to fully engage in such a matter.... As an NT, there's just so much pride focused on intellectual capabilities that there will natually be a lot of focus on the things that we are actually awesome at, the quiet brushing aside of those itty bitty things that we have not yet conquered, and the devaluing of things that we're not good at that aren't really cool in the first place anyway :D

If you're waiting for us to congratulate you, you should have considered posting this little confession in the NF forum....

So calculatedly impressive! Are you sure you're not an NT? :D

(Nods) I presume that something something something compared to the general population. But most something something and they don't consider something something something something. Imagine if something something something and then something didn't something right. That's how something something. And THAT'S what I mean by something something something. (Something broad.) (Conclusion.)

And that's why something something.

True. Even dumb people think they're smart.

Out of all the NT types, I think INTPs would do the best in accounting or med school.

med school maybe depending on which branch of it one considers

accounting = instant mental death taking place slowly and grindingly excruciatingly

Every single self-proclaimed NT (and that could be the reason for this) claims that they're gifted/high IQ.

Usually, I'd say "not all NTs claim that", but I haven't seen even ONE NT admit that they were merely of average intellect or below.

Guilty as charged. :happy2:

For shame. INTPs would be the best accountants out of all NTs, but would hate it the most. ENTPs would probably start the next Enron scandal for the lulz. :)

I only care to be intelligent at a few things. I don't care for IQ tests as they have little use other than for one-upping others.

Every time I say that I feel less than brilliant, people look at me like I'm crazy. So while it's not difficult for me to say that I am moderately intelligent, it will be difficult for me to convince others.

:cool:

You do know that most INTPs dislike routines right? And do you know what INTPs do when they are given a task they dislike? They either do it badly or simply don't do it.

INTPs would make horrible accountants; that's probably why you don't find too many doing it.
