what does "smart" mean to you? Options

[mya89]

I want an electric car or one that runs on algae.


lol I guessed right!
I get INTP.

I think I'm smart, but I don't want to come off as over-confident.


Kind of irrelevant, but my ideal smart person is ENTP.


Same here. & thank you.

Oh cool you guys have taken the test too. I'm INFJ, thought I'd just share that! lol

ENTPs are stereotyped as argumentative assholes. From experience, a good majority of them also hate anything having to do with conformity or tradition. If you're really curious, you can try visiting PerC and reading through some of their threads.

No, it's more than just a one letter difference. Study the eight Jungian cognitive functions in-depth. They're completely different in both types, not only in order but in type preference.

INTJ = Ni Te Fi Se
INTP = Ti Ne Si Fe

You can read about them here. I would offer a summary, but I'm still learning about them myself.

They're at least more interesting than the INTP stereotype... imo.

Anyway... I found this article.

Thanks for the links, whoever that was. Was an interesting way to spend 5 minutes while I pack my stuff to go on vacation tomorrow.

I got ENTP. Argumentative @$$hole describes me perfectly. Kinda surprising how accurate that was. Shocked really.

Their in depth analysis is spot on too.

Profile: ENTP
Revision: 3.1
Date of Revision: 28 Feb 2011

"Clever" is the word that perhaps describes ENTPs best. The professor who juggles half a dozen ideas for research papers and grant proposals in his mind while giving a highly entertaining lecture on an abstruse subject is a classic example of the type. So is the stand-up comedian whose lampoons are both funny and incisively accurate.

ENTPs are usually verbally as well as cerebrally quick, and generally love to argue--both for its own sake, and to show off their debating skills. ENTPs tend to have a perverse sense of humor as well, and enjoy playing devil's advocate. This sometimes confuses, even angers, those who don't understand or accept the concept of argument as a sport.

ENTPs are as innovative and ingenious at problem-solving as they are at verbal gymnastics; on occasion, however, they manage to outsmart themselves. ENTPs can be prone to "sharp practice" – especially cutting corners without regard to the rules if it's expedient – or, their juggling acts may simply be so over-ambitious they collapse.

Both at work and at home, ENTPs are very fond of "toys" -- physical or intellectual, the more sophisticated the better. Once these have been "solved" or become too familiar, however, they’ll be replaced with new ones.

ENTPs are basically optimists, but in spite of this (perhaps because of it?), they can become petulant about small setbacks and inconveniences. (Major setbacks they regard as challenges, and tackle with determination.) ENTPs have little patience with those they consider wrongheaded or unintelligent, and show little restraint in demonstrating this. In general, however, they are genial, even charming, when not being harassed by life.

In terms of their relationships with others, ENTPs are capable of bonding very closely and suddenly with their loved ones. Some appear deceptively offhand with their nearest and dearest; others are so demonstrative that they succeed in shocking co-workers who've only seen their professional side. ENTPs are also quick to spot a kindred spirit, and good at acquiring friends of similar temperament and interests.

ENTPs may sometimes give the impression of being largely oblivious to the rest of humanity except as an audience: good, bad, or potential. In general this is unfair – but it can be difficult to get an ENTP’s attention when they’re not immediately aware of you, especially for an Introvert.

The best approach in communicating with an ENTP is to be straightforward. No games – they’ll win. No "pulling rank" – they’ll just want to put you in your place. No apologies – you’ll undermine yourself. Try "I need/want to talk to you."

Interesting stuff. Never really paid much attention to this before. First time I've had a personality test that was so accurate.
