I've seen a few NT circle jerks about which type is the 'smartest' / 'most intelligent', "most intellectual', etc... and I'll usually see the INTPs and INTJs going at it, with a few suggestions for ENTJ. Conspicuously, little to no suggestions of ENTP. Why's that?

Wait, I don't understand the question.

This intp says the idea that you can even know which type is smarter for sure is a fallacy, but you're free to think what you wish... Regardless, I'm sure there is at least one person of every type that can make anyone of us look like an idiot..at least in regards to certain subjective things.

You see intelligence in general is subjective. I mean if you were to take your intelligence in regards to survival skills and compare it to that of someone who has spent 20 years living in the wood's, do you think you would be the smart one? Then what would happen if you both compared your knowledge in regards to physics? (let's assume the guy in question wasn't a physicist before he become one of the forest people)

You see intelligence in general is subjective. I mean if you were to compare your intelligence in regards to survival skills, do you think you would beat the guy who's spent 20 years living in the woods but lacks a knowledge of physics? Then what would happen if you both compared your knowledge in regards to psysics?
This. Don't judge a fish for its ability to climb a tree.

Implying that Type has correlation with beeing smart. Filthy facists, typism rule this thread. :ninja:

(I love the irony behind "type" and "equality", there is not even way to measure it effectively(guess which)).
