NTs need more self evaluation.

Edit: They need more porn on their computers.

Most definitely the heart. My thoughts will come ago, they are too fluid to be valued, because my values change.

Anyone can notice that I'm smart

It's someone that gets to know me to see that my hearts in the right place that I appreciate

This, kinda...All I do is try to understand and if that makes me be perceived as smart then so be it. If it doesn't then I don't really care either. My intentions are to understand and I guess that is what lies in my heart. Someone who can see those intentions and perhaps help me with them is more valuable to me than someone who thinks I'm smart.

I wish to be valued for the way I sit still and do nothing.

I'm not sure I can agree that "mind" and "heart" are two distinct entities.

I agree. There is a large crossover. Unless it is the biological mind and heart, in which case, they could hardly be more seperate.

Which it is not, so this should be shorten to Personality and Body.

Perhaps they should simply have had it as intelligence and personality instead of mind and heart. I think we could probably say that intelligence is basically independent enough to be seperated from personality in a simplified poll like this.

My mind. I want somebody who can admire my mind instead of fearing it.

Mind - intellectual capacity
Body - face and body
Heart - emotional capacity

Yes, but none of these really entail someones personality in full. Emotional capacity... well that just means someone's ability to be emotional, which isn't always a good thing and is only a small persoanlity aspect, and personality is arguably the most important aspect here.

All generalised terms are elastic in nature, including and especially personality. Individuals will perceive the generalised term through their own biased lenses.

Emotional capacity.If to be compared, I'm confident enough about my mind, but I really don't feel the same way about my ''heart''. it would be nice if someone would teach me here and appreciate the progress afterwards.

Nicely stated--I can relate to this sentiment.
