In Previous bread we had this post:
>>2083897 Anon claims high IQ on Meyers-Briggs Personality Test…
I am an Educationfag, former ITFag, and am very well trained in intellectual development. I figured I'd take the opportunity to educate y'all a bit on a few things related to this.
First of all, IQ is an almost meaningless measurement in the way most people think of it. IQ is a measure of how well you assimilate information. By this, I mean, how well you can connect dots, take new information and apply it to other information you already know, etc…
What many don't really grasp is that it's not a measure of how "smart" you are, it's a measure of how smart you are capable of being in a given situation. It doesn't account for lack of knowledge in certain areas… nor does it really account for your ability to learn by reading, or in any other modality.
Another common misconception about IQ is that it's static and immutable. IQ is actually pegged to your age. As you get older, if you stay at the same level of IQ, your IQ score actually drops. You're expected to progress in capability as you get older (through to adulthood, where it levels off).
The thing is, there's more to "intelligence" than simply IQ… IQ is a measure of just ONE form of intelligence. If you know anything about education or human development, you've likely been taught about "Gardner's Intelligences".
There are 9 of these. IQ is a sort of hybrid measure of both Spatial and Logical/Rational intelligence. IQ is highly correlated to spatial intelligence, and is very much about "pattern recognition".
A good way to think about it is like this: Think of someone who is not very well educated, but everyone says they have "street smarts". That's high interpersonal and natural intelligence. There are people who can't put 2 and 2 together without coming up with the answer of "potato", but can play musical instruments and understand music very well on an intuitive level.
Body/kinesthetic intelligence is found in those people who are amazing at sports, doing complex magic tricks, gymnastics, etc… these people know what's going on with every muscle of their bodies at all times, and have complete control of each of them.
In a way, the Meyers-Briggs Temperament Indicator (MBTI) mirrors the Gardner's Intelligences. Different MBTI TYPES are going to map to having different combinations of high scores on the different Gardner's Intelligences.
Anyway… just FYI… I now return you to your regularly scheduled troll posts and shill fuckery.
