[MBTI General] Would NT Types be more interested in solving Ravens Progressive Matrices for fun

I was wondering if NT types enjoy solving puzzles such as the Ravens Progressive Matrices or other "IQ" type tests. These tests, particularly Ravens, tests spatial pattern recognition skills. Could a strong sensor be interested in these types of tests for fun and if so, why? I went on a spree at one point where I spent a lot time on "iqexams.net"...I just enjoyed the challenge of solving new puzzles. I do not know my type nor do I take the questionnaire seriously due to the subjective bias. Now, a lot of people online say intuitive types score higher on IQ tests, which is most likely true....however, it only measures a small subset of intellect. Thus, you can't conclude intuitives are more intelligent than sensor's in an absolute sense. To me, intelligence can only be signified in relative terms (i.e. Newton is more intelligent mathematically relative to people who are not Mathematically inclined).

People here type me ISxP a lot. I enjoy solving those types of puzzles. Assuming I am a sensor, it would follow that some sensors must enjoy solving them.

Yeah, that would make sense particularly with ISTP's as some are real adept at understanding how mechanical parts fit together....So, the visual spatial aspect of their intelligence is strong. I am not mechanically inclined, but I do enjoy creating mathematical equations/algorithms and makings connections with info/data.
