[NT] Do you think you're intellectually superior to the poster above you?

[FunnyDigestion]

Um, it's a J not a G, yes I am intellectually siperoir to the person above me because they dont know how to spell pokemon names

I'm intellectually superior in my spelling of important words like superior and ... stuff.

Guess what, I didn't mean to do that. Mistakes are natural, that's why they put pencils have erasers. What's the square root of a hundred.

Oh God.
I can't overcome this difficult conversation.
:exasperated:
you win.

[gmanyo]

yes

Interesting point, if i say yes I would be hinting at the fact that my statement is unlikely to be true due to the fact that one can hardly answer that question with any certitude in the absence of feedback and a more defined OP. Intellectually superior can imply many things. It could mean recognized as a more proeminent intellectual by other intellectuals for example, but intellectuals are first and foremost adherant to a type of lifestyle and way to deal with the world rather than people who can reliably be expected to have a wide enough skillset to be considered as likely to be 'more intelligent' than the next person in a widespread set of problem solving situations. This limited and up to self referential definition of intelligence would be akin to saying 'you are good at being an intellectual' for example.

Intelligence can be seen as a thing in itself or a thing defined by the way it deals with its purpose. From this perspective intelligence would be about adaptation to given situations. This would include types of intelligence like emotional intelligence, kinesthetic intelligence etc...
Now if we want to find some 'general view' of intelligence we'd have to look at humanity as a whole. The interesting bit with this particular species of social animals is that we create our own environment, so we evolved not only our own culture and technology but also evolved alongside it. The time dimension then becomes an important factor to try to answer this question. In this particular pairing (culture\biology) culture is always going to outpace the slowly changing genetic pool for the species. We could then look at the feedback between environment and brain and its translation into if not necessarily directly observable behavior at least information that will then modify the next series of environment\brain feedback loops in a way that is more or less adaptive depending on the context.

Last but not least we can look at the brain itself or standard tests (IQ, EQ if they find some way to make it less biased etc.) and correlate intelligence with some accepted standards for success or ability. That could be anything from '(s)he gets more resources' (test scores, money, partners in quantity or quality) to '(s)he can deal with archetypical problem solving situations better than x'

 

[Lark]

yes.

 

[A window to the soul]

yes.

No.

 

[EcK]

yes.

You don't know me. In the absence of data you should base your estimation on at least some commonly accepted measure for intelligence (eq\iq etc) and the few data you know about me: my type (yes u could dispute that) and then use statistics to see the likelihood of your statement being true and answer in terms of raw probability.
On average ENTPs outscore ENTJs in these raw aptitude tests. Just sayin'

No.

I honestly don't give a shit

 

[Riva]

My my.... this is quite a hard one.

Hmmmmm.....

 

[EcK]

you think no but your ego wants to give yes a chance.

 

[Riva]

you think no but your ego wants to give yes a chance.

But my subconscious knows it is a Yes .

And my heart it telling me (screaming at me) not to admit my superiority.

 

[EcK]

But my subconscious knows it is a Yes .

Right, if you say so. We can have a duel of rethorics and logics, compare iq scores (nt), or take the basic data (entp), take the available type-wide stats and declare a draw then gloat at all the S types. Your call.

And my heart it telling me (screaming at me) not to admit my superiority.

Yeah, I'm sure there's much to admit in that department. And I know you're just trying to get the NFs' attention with that statement, btw.

Nah, I think we should bring out the rulers. At the end of the day that is what matters.

MH interesting point. Outside of statistical extremes I'm not sure if flacid/erect dick size (except if u meant to measure foreheads or something) translates into a higher ability to adapt to one's environment and reproduce in this clothes wearing age (assuming a very large spanning definition for intelligence). measuring concrete stuff, how very S of you

(Or to communicate memes successfully into one's environment if you take the cultural aspect of humanity)

That's what the intellect says. But I am sure you as a guy knows that in practice every guy wants his penis to be bigger than the other guys penis. Ego trumps the intellect at all times.

I am an undercover SP.

Oh, and lets face it. Again at the end of the day all things imagined, intuitive, creative or brilliant has to be measured in whatever possible measurements to be considered worthwhile. So the S in us matters to us more than we think. Unless of course one is an INTP.

 

[Elisius]

This looks like fun so I'll join in!
Yes in some ways, no in others. Intelligence isn't linear. We're all good at different things.
But mostly yes.

That seems like a baseless statement. Care to elaborate? About the penis size I believe studies say that on average guys want like 1 more inch or something. Dunno about Width though. And where does it end?

Are you calling introverted hermits stupid?

It's an NT thread. Smartass

Hey! There were NFs in here! I'm not unprecedented.
