Guess a p guy will never be the smartest since the J guys are too occupied with themselves
NTP's are booksmart if nothing else, but here's what I've realized about me: I want to have a fairly thorough understanding of ALL subjects. If you took myself and an INTJ and you said, "you have 1 year to learn as much as you can about THIS ONE SUBJECT" - INTJ would crush me. They'd go deeper and have more tenacity and more stick-to-itiveness than I ever could. I'm able to learn just as quickly as them, but after 1 year their hard work would pay off and they would know more than me about that one subject. They'd know A LOT. I'd just know "enough".
But, if you said, "you have 1 year to learn everything you can about anything you want" and report back in 1 year about a huge variety of subjects, that's where I'd thrive. Cuz it would allow me to jump from subject to subject. I'd learn Physics for 1 solid week, then I'd go "that's stupid. Next week I'm going to learn to speak Japanese." Next week - how to cook authentic Italian. Next week - the climate of the Pacific Islands. Next week - whatever. So, NTP's can learn whatever we put our minds to, but we don't really care to stick to 1 subject. We want to explore a variety of topics.

Nice, I could imagine getting charged with such an accusation by people. It's what makes me move in disguise thru this world, people just have no imagination to see behind the curtain
