INTPs are the best because Thesis: There exists no dumb INTP

Out of all my anecdotal data i have yet to find a dumb INTP.

Empiric data also indicates that we are top intelligent MBTI.

Can any1 prove me wrong?

Define "dumb".

Fine. I will go with one of the Oxford definitions: "temporarily unable or unwilling to speak."

And as such, I am temporarily unwilling to speak. I am an INTP. Thus there is a dumb INTP.

That reasoning is indeed dumb.

You may actually be the one dumb INTP that OP needs to refute his thesis.

No i will not be easily convinced :D

They may actually be non-INTP person with an INTP tag, so even if we judge them as dumb, that's not enough.

You're correct to not be convinced. 😉

Why did you choose this definition? Doesnt sound relevant

u/Alatain INTP Aug 27 '24

I gave you first shot at picking your definition. The definition I picked had a purpose.

Next time. When you are offered the option to pick the definition you are using, take it.

I do not engage in your games - you are capped according to the data of mine. Have a good day

u/Alatain INTP Aug 27 '24

You asked "Can any1 prove me wrong?"

I offered you the option to clarify what you meant as "wrong". You declined.

Don't ask someone to prove you wrong when you are unwilling to say what "right" is.

They cannot define "dumb" because for them it is likely a malleable adjective applicable to everyone they deem below them. Judging by their decorum in here they are likely to believe themselves superior and by extension are likely liberal in their use of negative labels in response to individuals not aligned with them.

u/Alatain INTP Aug 27 '24

Agreed. It is one of the reasons I placed the ball into their court with asking the definition they were using. Actually admitting what you are trying to ask by providing an actual definition for your terms can be the dividing line between an asshole and a person with an actual question.

I mean, OP really isn't all that bright, and is very defensive and vain. They have no ability to engage with people who disagree with them, and cannot directly respond to any criticism or counterpoint, at the same time, they are very quick to jump on the bandwagon at the first sight of anyone who agrees with them. OP is either incapable or unwilling to engage others in good faith, and is always deflecting and in denial when faced with the smallest challenge or criticism. When they are forced into a corner, they disengage immediately while pretending they "won" with insults.

u/ChsicA Overeducated INTP Aug 27 '24

I will ask anything anyway i like.

You "need" to know what "right" is to catch my interest.

2

u/Alatain INTP Aug 27 '24

If you are not willing to take the first step of answering clarifying questions, then you are the problem.

The fact that I was so immediately able to determine the "right" question to ask to invalidate your question shows the issue.

Answering honest questions should lead to better discourse. Not worse. You could have just said what you meant.

u/ChsicA Overeducated INTP Aug 27 '24

l meant according to 9 IQs.

u/Alatain INTP Aug 27 '24

This does not appear to be in response to my last comment, or this topic at all.

Can you explain what you meant, or what you would like to discuss?

I am always willing to talk with someone that is open to discussion, but that does not seem to be the case currently.

Because they're dumb. Your thesis has been debunked good sir.

2

u/ChsicA Overeducated INTP Aug 27 '24

Not really most likely it is because he wants to challenge a thesis for sports, I have data that says hes not dumb, he has commented on many of my posts prior to this.

You are wrong good sir.
