Anyone who says that they're smarter than a whole group of people is just showing that they aren't... and showing that they're so desperate to feel the best at something that it's likely that they're a real nobody in real life :)

Sensors are just as intelligent as Intuituves. There's variation in both.
There are a lot of smart sensors. As far as fictional characters are concerned, I've always considered Dana Scully and Hermione Granger to be sensors. They're brilliant. I'm using fictional examples as I can't think of any prominent real world sensors (saying people I know but members likely don't won't prove anything) and fiction mirrors reality.

Each function contributes a different kind of intelligence.

So, Se would have the best kinaesthetic intelligence, Si the best... clerical/administrative/rote learning intelligence.

But when we talk about intelligence I guess we are biased towards thinking specifically about certain kinds of intelligence.

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve punched myself in the face while sneezing, or walked into various large objects well within my field of vision.

If we examine this^ through the narrow lens of stereotype, those with a preference for sensing are clearly the superior creatures, here. My proprioception is worse than a toddler’s. That’s just a caricature, though, not an entirely accurate depiction.

We’re only ever shown mere fragments of what makes up any person. It’s easy to measure what we can see, but it’s even more important to factor in what we can’t.

The problem is assuming anyone is superior to begin with.

Exactly. Different things require more value/motivation, focus, & conscious effort for different people, but that doesn’t make them any less intelligent, overall.

If makes anyone feel better, I think all the force users in Star Wars were sensors. :vader1:
That is because they are the only ones who need it.

Seriously, the whole intelligence dickswinging and pedestalling tends to only be telling on the subject of those that are fixated on it, ime :shrug:
