I feel like I can ask this somewhat impolite question because I am an INTP making me pretty similar to you guys in a lot of ways since the only thing changed is the F. I do terrible in school and most people who know me think I am an idiot before anything due to how awkward and absented minded and eccentric I am.
So anyway, I've gotten close to an INFJ and an ENFJ and they were both very intellectual. The INFJ was super intelligent but actually preferred interpersonal/"sentimental" (to my mind at least) topics rather than scholarly, technical thoughts but gifted and fully capable when she wanted to. I've met a few INFP's but neither of them struck me as academic or analytical in the least. Although very cool and good for talking to they don't relish intellectual conversations it seems to me. One of them I met was a really good poet which was cool...but yeah uhh some of them just seem "lost." Like I have to explain everything to them. And then because they are abstract and lost in thought they just forget or zone out when I'm saying it only pretending to understand to be friendly.
