LOL. I beg to differ. I played multiple sports growing up and am still very active in them as an adult. And let's not forget last year's American League Cy Young Award Winner (awarded to the league's best pitcher): Clearly an INTP based on interviews I've seen. He's a writer, loves science, did extremely well in school, retired from the game of baseball due to the stresses of Social Anxiety Disorder, sought help, then came back with a focused outlook, and became the Cy Young Award winner. He still shies away from the media bigtime, but the guy is a stud. I submit exhibit A:

Here's a forum that is discussing his awkward interviews (because of the Social Anxiety Disorder) and showing a picture of his girlfriend (who, I think I heard is also extremely smart). Someone towards the bottom of the page posted an interview of him. He's always very bland and unexciting. I can tell by watching this video that his skin is crawling. He's thinking, "Get that freakin' camera out of my face!" And because he's so focused on the appearing normal, he just gives very simple answers. There's A LOT running through his head while he is talking. Every interview I've seen or heard is much like this. A lot of mumbling, pausing mid-sentence and then going in a different direction with his answer, etc.
