[Taking the following definition of "academic intelligence"; "determining factor in one's ability to manage formal school education; the ability to learn, process and repeat information."]
Is this the real definition of academic intelligence? Perhaps it is, but it is very different than what it seems like the term should mean based on the definitions of the two words seperately. Perhaps this definition is S-biased
Academic work is 99% memorization and organization.
What field is this in? Perhaps this could work in very limited fields and in elementary/secondary school. But I don't know what university class is going to not require TONS of abstract thinking. Organization is a huge part of getting the stuff done to get the grade, and there need to be facts memorized first, but college is going to require those facts to be analyzed, criticized, synthesized, connectified, and eventually generated into new ideas. SJs can do this stuff for sure, but I think the NTs have a slight edge in terms of interest here.
