Work Related Miscellanea E-mail Introverts enjoy e-mail and other asynchronous communication systems because it allows them to formulate their thoughts before speaking. An INTJ usually prefers to send an e-mail rather than have a meeting if time permits. Judgers and Perceivers deal with task-related e-mails differently. Both groups tend to use their inbox as a to-do list for e-mails. But researchers found that while the Judgers either deleted or filed their e-mails away when they were done with the task in question, the Perceivers just left them in their inboxes--sometimes for a few more days, sometimes for more than a year (read here). 187 HR INTJs are the type fifth most likely to work in an HR department. 188 A survey of 380 HR personnel found the following percentages of each type: ESTJ 11.84% ENTJ 11.32% ISTJ 10.00% ENFP 9.47% INTJ 8.68% ENTP 8.68% ENFJ 7.37% INTP 7.11% INFP 6.58% ESFJ 5.79% ISFJ 3.95% ESFP 2.89% INFJ 2.37% ISTP 1.84% ESTP 1.32% ISFP 0.79% The death glare must come in handy for INTJs working in this field. 187 Ludford & Terveen, 2003 188 Myers, McCaulley, Quenk & Hammer, 1998
INTJs and the Intellect I.Q. Testing and Type Many people avoid discussing the relationship between type and I.Q. because they assume that people can't deal with the truth. Unfortunately, the silence of the experts has led to rampant speculation instead of fact-based discussion. The internet is full of arrogant type bigots (see Appendix 2) and people with crushed self esteem who either believe their type is particularly smart or particularly dumb. However, they are both wrong. We do not know if type is related to intelligence. However, type is related to your ability to score high on an I.Q., SAT, or ACT test. Here's the rub: intelligence is not precisely the same thing as a high I.Q. score. You probably think I'm just being politically correct, but no, I'm a Rational. Are we known for that? Let's get real here: it may still be unknown whether type is related to intelligence, but you can use an I.Q. test instead of the Myers-Briggs to figure out a person's type preferences. I.Q. tests measure abstract reasoning skill (Intuition), the ability to solve problems alone and silently within your head (Introversion), the ability to think objectively about non-people oriented problems (Thinking), flexibility in solving never-before-seen problems (Perceiving), and the ability to work swiftly (N— I’ll explain later). There is nothing new here; all of this is predicted by type theory. And indeed, the more of those preferences you have, the higher your score on an aptitude test (SAT, ACT, I.Q., etc.) is likely to be. Introverts tend to do better than Extraverts. Intuitives tend to do better than Sensors. Thinkers are slightly preferred over Feelers. Perceivers have an advantage over Judgers. These are average trends, of course, but they all add up to a clear ranking based on personality characteristics. For this reason, INTPs are predicted to do the best of all types on I.Q. tests, 189 with INTJs and ENTPs right behind. Does this mean they actually are more intelligent than average? We don't know. And in fact, studies of type and I.Q. have produced variable results, which we will look into shortly. Furthermore, while INTPs are predicted to do best on aptitude tests (this means all general ability tests such as the SAT, ACT, etc. not just I.Q. tests), a survey of studies actually found that INTJs scored slightly better than INTPs, though in general Perceivers did outscore Judgers. 190 So, things are complicated. What we do know is that the very format of an aptitude or I.Q. test introduces confounding factors that tend to give types with I, N, T or P preferences a leg up on everybody else. Not to say that I.Q. tests are completely worthless, but there are strong type-based biases that may result in junk data. (Remember the Lego man test? Can you imagine how the parameters of that test could be tweaked to prove that one type or another was the "most intelligent"?) Let's take Mozart, the Artisan child prodigy who couldn't have looked less like Einstein, the INTP paragon of our cultural definition of intelligence. Mozart was a frighteningly brilliant guy, but his brilliance would have been shortchanged by our current I.Q. tests, which measure type as well as genuine intelligence. In fact, type strongly determines how intelligence is expressed. An Artisan genius won't work math problems; they will make music. An Idealist genius won't do shop work; they will write literature. Mozart may have been able to compose original music at age 5, but that 189 Myers, McCaulley, Quenk & Hammer, 1998 190 Myers, McCaulley, Quenk & Hammer, 1998
