But it's also just a fact: intelligence is correlated with N.
Talking about that fact need not entail that one is doing it to make oneself feel superior.
And to make a claim like that does a disservice to being able to factually and openly talk about the truth.
You must mean "truth" in the loose sense, right?
This thread has veered a bit from the OP. I am mostly talking about people who are preoccupied with notions of eternity to the point where they're no longer concerned about earthly matters and everything they do in this world is analyzed of its relevance to the big picture, depending on their brand of faith; whether it involves abstaining from certain foods, wearing particular articles of clothing, engaging in rituals, or avoiding "worldly vices." Even someone who is more inclined toward sensing, in terms of typology, would have to alter their mindset to focus on the grand scheme of their lifestyle choices, as opposed to living in the moment without thought of possible repercussions in eternity.
ah... so crazy people like the street preacher that I met at the bus stop at 38th and Meridian last year!
He's only crazy if what he's preaching isn't true.
*there is no spoon*
he was trying to cure some guy's headache by laying his hands on him... it was very awkward so I was attempting to stand far away and not make direct eye contact
Well...did the headache go away?
I actually corrected that post a minute after posted it or so (and before your answer). We operate on very different assumptions. Though the fact that the guru looking guy says N is a fact about that person rather than a score result is just his point of view. What can be observed are score results, any other statement is very highly subjective. Therefore while my statement that 'test scores are test scores' can be easily demonstrated yours have no backing and you haven't proposed any way to verify that ascertion. That video doesn't 'explain' anything, I could make my own video stating that pinguins are fruits, even if I personally believed this is so I couldn't in good conscience state it as a fact without having data to back it up.
Its not just that guy saying those things, its a common knowledge about basics of MBTI.
Here the same info is explained in official MBTI site:
http://www.myersbriggs.org/my-mbti-personality-type/my-mbti-results/
http://www.myersbriggs.org/my-mbti-personality-type/my-mbti-results/why-you-may-decide-to-choose.asp
http://www.myersbriggs.org/my-mbti-personality-type/my-mbti-results/your-mbti-best-fit-type.asp
These things are explained all over the proper MBTI sites, books and research papers. Before they always had a professional to help you choose your best fit type after taking the type indicator, bit nowadays its usually forgotten. This is also explained in the official MBTI manual.
Do i need to dig more sources for this or can you accept it coming from the official source?
If the official sources dont base their judgement on any kind of quantifiable or verifiable measurement its just their opinion. a 1000 baseless claims dont make a right.
