ISTJ or INTJ?

Yes, you are right, IQ has something to do with N or S. N people tend to be smarter as they are able to grasps theories easily.

This is the J part. Nothing to do with N or S. You seem to be action oriented and like to express your logical thoughts to practical ends (Hence the Te)

Nothing much to deduce from there...
Now back to the explanation, your issue is confused between Ni and Si. Let me explain here,

Ni is the gathering ABSTRACT information from the inner world. This would most likely be a day dreaming or visioning process. If you tend to slip into imagination often... you are most likely INTJ. If you are very optimistic with new things and tend to be pessimistic with tradition, you are most likely INTJ

Si is gathering REAL information from the innerworld. This would most likely be reflecting past experience process. Si values tradition (i.e. past experience) more, They need proof before attempting something... Due to this, they tend not to take ambiguous risks

Can you give some more situations?

I also have a few questions to strike out the ambiguity
1) Are you left handed? If you are left handed you are definitely N type
2) Do you enjoy reading the theories and concepts of MBTI? Do you try to find the abstract definition of it
3) Do you value tradition. Do you enjoy doing things repetitively? Can you stand doing the same thing over and over again?

Anyway, hope this helps!:laughing:

I also posted this over at INTJ forum.

I have taken 6 different MB tests the last day, and 4 say Im a INTJ while two say ISTJ.

So, how do I know what I am? It seems more to be of wording type of thing. Since English is my second language how the question is asked may affect how I answer the question.

Its the N or S question I get the different readings on. The other three are very stable.

I guess the INTJ are supposed to be very smart ( in serious test Ive always landed somewhere around 120, not that high, most IQ test can be thought with repitition ) but never been really good at School. Atleast not in our school system where boundries where never set. No homework needed etc..

I love to think about efficient use of materials and time. How to calculate making capital investments and depreciacion. Ive never studied it, but I would love to read about it. How to make a businesses more efficient and competetive. Im studying Social Economics, but I find it to teoretical not practical, so its very boring to me. That and with a full time job, I get very low grades.

Could anybody direct me somewhere I could find out if Im more inclined to N or S?
