I would really like to see how all NTs score in g (general, inclusive of all intelligences) intelligence.
I said my *employees* were intelligent. Not all of NT humanity.
And I'm out of here. This is a waste of time. Whether you have better things to do than nitpick and overanalyze some stranger on the internet or not, I don't care. Knock yourself out.

That's an extremely dysfunctional group, but it's not related to type. They sounded like an insecure bunch who had a need to diminish others in order to preserve their own self perception.Last summer I had a new girl there, absolutely brilliant at her job. Well, she was timid and had the "audacity" to suggest a way to approach a client's project. They ended up all cornering her in the conference room, completely attacking her personally and making a total laughingstock out of her and her idea. She ended up in tears inside my office, giving me her 2 week notice.
Because you are. (Collective 'you' not necessarily personal)
My job surrounds me with NTs and they constantly sneer at the 'dumb masses' (even the people whose paychecks I sign, lol). And you guys do it online explicitly too.
The only people in my workplace who are even remotely chill are the ESTP, ISFJ and the ENFJ. The other six people are likely NTs and drive me up the fucking wall with their arrogance. Each NT thinks (s)he's smarter than (unbeknownst to him) the other NTs.
It's amusing but fucking annoying. It's not just at work either, but the NTs I befriend in real life are obviously going to be more chill.
I'm not jealous of their delusions. I'm me, and I can only do the best I can.
Every single self-proclaimed NT (and that could be the reason for this) claims that they're gifted/high IQ.
Usually, I'd say "not all NTs claim that", but I haven't seen even ONE NT admit that they were merely of average intellect or below.
"NTs are intrinsically superior" jokes (shitty ones) aside, have you ever heard of an intellectually humble NT?
Doesn't idle curiosity get to you, to not know? It's much like all the linked tests in the subforum. Even though most of the tests can easily be swayed in that subforum, it's kind of fun.If I was sure I was average, of course I would. But as of yet, no one has been able to prove that. And I wont be taking any fancy IQ tests either!

I can live with the fact that my natural ability to recognize patterns in logic puzzles or the such may not be as strong as some people. However, the ability to solve visual logic puzzles does not necessitate an ability to accumulate knowledge and information. I think one of the most important aspects to at least an INTP's "intelligence" is his or her ability to observe, analyze, and then crystallize various pieces of information. Ti doesn't just seek information; it hungers for it. Information is also seen by Ti as knowledge; the accumulation of information is the key to making logical connections and frameworks which help us understand the world in what we perceive to be an objective format. Therefore, I do not think it is really possible (unless such an individual has some sort of serious psychological problem) for at least INTPs to be "of lesser intelligence" when the context is information and knowledge. This is how we cope with reality. Without information, we feel.... lost, useless, impotent.
I was not aware that the ability to sign a paycheck rendered you superior to those whose services (far more valuable than your own) you employ. What, if I may ask, has earned you such a privileged position? Did you initiate the business yourself and as such "own" it? Even if so, it has absolutely no bearing upon the intelligence of your "subordinates."
NTs are, on average, far more inclined toward not simply displaying intellect but possessing genuine intellectual capacity than the other types. This is simply the reality of our existence. You, as an ESFP, fail to provide a cogent argument despite your claims of "high" IQ and economic success. Do you not view this as a contradictory reality? You are fundamentally incapable of debating coherently and yet you are some "success" in life? Remember, our societies do not reward on the basis of talent and let alone intelligence; they reward on the basis of rapacity and pretentiousness.
Furthermore, either your sob story was recounted entirely through the lens of your sentiments or it is incomplete at best.
Furthermore, what you perceive as "arrogance" is often an honest confidence in one's own abilities. I find nothing disagreeable about believing yourself to be intellectually superior to those around you with cause, and most NTs (at least, in a relative sense) are capable of justifying a cause.
If you truly score at a Mensa level IQ, then the validity of IQ tests as a measure of intelligence only recedes in my mind. I cannot even take your writing style seriously. What a joke.

INTPs have tertiary Si, which means they can actually remember shit. Out of all the NT types, I think INTPs would do the best in accounting or med school.
Medicine, maybe, if the INTP found it interesting enough and was actually passionate for eight straight years during pre-Med, which I don't think is likely (although possible). Regarding accounting, I don't think this will ever apply for me. I've hated accounting and will always hate accounting. I didn't care enough to memorize anything, that's for sure.
