Hi there fellow INTPs. I have some new statistics regarding the correlation bettwen IQ (Visual Pattern Fluid Intelligence Test Results in particular) and MBTI.

I wanted to find the correlation bettwen SLOAN types (wanted to know if Calm/Limbic has any differents)
But instead I found an internet IQ test that had some statistics according to the MBTI personality types.

Here is the table: (max score is 15 points)

type high >8 med 6-8 low <6 hi/med ratio hi/low ratio
intp 2118 930 541 2.28 3.91
intj 1802 852 519 2.12 3.47
istj 990 584 452 1.70 2.19
infp 2069 1232 1014 1.68 2.04
entp 976 676 387 1.44 2.52
entj 542 382 258 1.42 2.10
istp 447 290 202 1.54 2.21
infj 921 712 566 1.29 1.63
enfp 1376 1273 1035 1.08 1.33
estp 381 259 332 1.47 1.15
enfj 458 466 407 0.98 1.13
estj 500 393 513 1.27 0.97
esfp 268 306 319 0.88 0.84
isfj 361 350 334 1.03 1.08
isfp 221 210 192 1.05 1.15
esfj 275 341 385 0.81 0.71
didn't know 28205 29450 29288 0.96 0.96

Yep, ISTJs and ISTPs scored way higher than other statistics shown.
INTPs are once again proven to be the most intelligent MBTI type, followed by INTJs.

The link for the test is here > Fluid Intelligence Test (Visual Patterns)

Another table here:



The following table shows the breakdown of the highest scorers. Those with perfect scores (15/15), 14/15, and 13/15.

type 15/15 14/15 13/15
intp 16 111 214
intj 12 54 149
infp 8 40 200
enfp 8 36 108
entp 7 28 102
istj 7 27 71
infj 7 20 63
entj 5 25 58
estj 2 14 37
estp 1 6 20
enfj 0 11 31
esfp 1 4 20
isfj 0 5 26
istp 3 15 34
isfp 0 6 13
esfj 0 4 15
didn't know 145 712 1865

Most test takers did not know their MBTI type as shown by the "didn't know" numbers.
These results are limited to some degree by that fact.
While significant scoring differences across the sixteen types are apparent here, users who knew their Myers Briggs type tended to score higher than the majority of users who didn't know their type.

So guys... Any comments on the table? What is your score on the test if you done it?

P.S. I have to brag a little and say I got the perfect score on the first try (15/15). Here is what results said.

Congratulations, you obtained a perfect score. I am researching intelligence and personality so I would greatly appreciate if you would use the comment form below to answer the following questions.

Your overall percentile is 99% which means you scored higher than 99% of the people who have taken this test. The internet population tends to be more intelligent so your percentile might be higher if the test taking sample was perfectly random. Keep in mind, taking this test more than once will render your percentile score inaccurate because the percentile score assumes these questions were fresh to the test taker.

Edit: the table is almost unwatchable in this state so here is the link for the page > http://research.similarminds.com/tag/iq-test

I remember taking this test a while ago in another thread. I don't remember what my percentage was exactly but I do know I only got one wrong. It was the one near the beginning with the squiggle and the L shape.

13/15 on the first try.
Not bad. I always thought I was stupid.

Yea, for the first 15 years of my life I thought I am pretty stupid... I guess thats why I became enneagram type 5 in the first place.

I was always thinking I am way more incapable then other people, when it really was the other way around.

13/15 is a great score!

[hungryfooligan]

i got 15/15 fuck yeah

also i fluctuate between INFP and INTP, if that has any use.

Huh? I don't get it. It said I was on the 79th percentile (I'm actually on the 99th verbally and on the 50th nonverbally...I`ve got a learning disability so for me different intelligence levels don`t correlate. But since this test was nonverbal maybe I`m less stupid nonverbally than I thought, except compared to my fellow INTP`s). But it never showed my score out of 15...

That's called the Dunning-Kruger effect.

You got 12/15.

[InevitablyKriss]

I'm not confident enough to take this test. :I

[Dupree]

14/15. I was only 100% certain about seven of them. I'd like to think it was more than luck for the rest but probably not. I'll have to take another one of these and see how I do.

I'm not confident enough to take this test. :I

I was shitting my pants taking it.

It seems that either PerC forum is full of highly intelligent people, or the good old 'post only good IQ scores' effect has taken over once again. xD
