First stab at this
Real-world logic: many people don't study their asses off because they're so intelligent that they don't
need to study.
Sensoriffic data, as in, supportive studies:
Positive correlation between drinking and intelligence
Conscientiousness is negatively correlated with intelligence, and
Judging is positively correlated with Conscientiousness, and INTJ is a judging type--you can do the math.
I could go on.
As could I.
About IN being correlated with intelligence, and INT being even more highly correlated.
As you said, though, P
is indeed positively correlated with intelligence, while J is negatively correlated.
It's just, the other three letters do too, and the correlation is actually stronger with those other three letters than the fourth.
(Interesting side note: from the study I've spent the most time looking at, the two types where the correlation didn't hold true were the ISTs.)
And then I could add that INTJs are actually among the 3 most likely types to either have a substance abuse problem, or to seek help for one (can't remember which), but I know I sure as hell love a good beer.
/ hasn't read thread, but if you're going to make an argument like that, at least do so honestly
/ saw that article a while ago and didn't bother reading it
/ doesn't think ESFPs are inherently stupid
/ is by no means a Democrat, but recognizes that Bill Clinton is fucking smart
/ doesn't think all INTJs are smart
/ has no idea whether that author of that article is an INTJ
/ would assume the author of that article is less smart than Bill Clinton
/ laughs at the fact that Bill Clinton very well may be an ESFP
/
does think N is correlated with intelligence
/ is not afraid to say that correlations and tendencies exist
/ fuck the pc police
