As I was at a birthday party today I was thinking about intelligence tests and whether they really are accurate (the pattern based tests online only ones I am familiar with I have a general idea of the ones that psychologists make) and started thinking about how iq testing is supposed to be. But I think this is inadequate for intps because of several reasons 1: Intps tend to not to do well under stress and I think the idea of finishing any test in a certain amount of time is stress inducing and tends to screw up our creative juices which is our natural talent and helps us. 2: We have to concentrate on one single thing which as most of us know restricts us seeing as we our more a architect personality then a specialist. 3: Its timed so our reflection period is limited which is something a intp needs to come up with to make what they assume as a good decision.4:We hate being stuck in a box we approach things from outside the box (overused statement I know) and usually make up our own answer that fits to our usually unconventional thought patterns and so having to pick from 4 already pre-conceived answers seem to inhibit us even more. If there other threads that have been like this I am sorry and if you disagree please place your reason below and if you agree point what you agree with. Also this was just a general thought not something I have studied or looked into. If I need to be clarified on the subject please place below as well and point which part needs to clarified. :hi:
