I've met excellent math users among all of the T types. Overall Te and Ti seem to be different ways to achieve the same result.
I don't know how much function or type has to do with this. I think it has more to do with types of intelligence. For me, math has always seemed like common sense. Where other people have to study and work through examples to understand the material, I usually just 'get it'.
I'm probably a mathematician in a parallel universe.
my best friend is a strong INTP and he can work, nearly, all of the math problems he needs figuring out, in his head..he's really brilliant..
But I find with myself, I tend to be more skilled in History, Literature, and some sciences..not so much the practical mathematics.
I rock at algebra and suck at everything else.
I personally can handle mathematical logic pretty well, but I'm horrible at doing math.
yes, math ability is correlated to how well Thinking is used (and Intuition for problems that require more than pure deductive logic). but that doesn't necessarily mean Ts are better than Fs. it also doesn't mean Ns are better than Ss.
i don't like these threads.
I think Ns are more inclined to appreciate and be more apt at geometry than either arithmetic or algebra.
