...What's the point of the poll?Which type is exhibits the brainiac traits, or mostly likely be called a brainiac?
my personal definitions of a Brainiac:
highly intelligent person
genius level intellect with much higher IQ than even the high average
pure thinker
problem solver
want to learn everything about the universe and accumulate all forms of information
most likely socially inept or introverted
gifted in at least several of the pure science and engineering fields, including physics chemsitry and biology
have some major similarities with the superman villain brainiac, either in terms of motivations or intellect
algorithimic thinking
I've noticed that a lot of NTs presume that they're smarter than they are just because they're NTs.
What about the millions upon millions of NT's that have no idea what "NT" even means (i.e., they know nothing about MBTI) - do they still "presume that they're smarter than they are just because they're NTs"?
MBTI type is not a measure of intelligence, and I have noticed that an alarming number of self-typed NTs on typology forums presume they are smarter than other people, even when they are only of average intelligence, sorely lacking in education, and/or blathering about complete nonsense.
Fair enough. I see what you're saying. It would be like thinking that NF's are more emotionally adept just because they are NF or SJ's thinking they are the most practical and have the most common sense just because they are SJ.
Disclaimer: I have an IQ of 33 and I often "blather" about complete nonsense.
Yeah some NFs are total wackos and there are SJs who make no fucking sense at all. By the same token, not all NTs are brilliant.
Are you getting defensive about this? I wonder why...
An NT who lacks intelligence, an NF with a low EQ, and an SJ who can’t function in society. That kind of sound like an accountant whose poor at math, in that I’d imagine that these theoretical individuals would be pretty sparse on positive traits. I have to wonder how they would actually go about forming anything resembling a living in society, since they don’t appear to have anything competitive, neither a talent or a specialty above the norm, to offer. An unintelligent NT, by nature, would rely on his subpar intelligence to such an extent that he’d fall straight to the bottom of the socio-economical ladder. Marmalade.sunrise, could you please share the reasoning behind your assertion? Not that I particularly disagree with it, but it seems as if it’d be outside of the norm.Yeah some NFs are total wackos and there are SJs who make no fucking sense at all.

You'ld be surprised to know what else people can lack
