Giftedness Is Statistically Associated with Particular MBTI Results

I'm either INFJ or INTJ, depending on the test.<p>As a kid I was identified as gifted-lite (the diet coke of giftedness: just one calorie, not gifted enough :) after taking the CTBS/CCAT tests. Apparently I was at or above giftedness cutoff on two of the parts but below it on the third part.<p>But I showed them: my assessed quasi-giftedness was no match for my persistent lack of motivation.

Credulity statistically associated with people who take MBTI seriously.

I'm in INFP or sometimes INTP depending on the test I do. I don't really how understand how thinking and feeling are supposed to be at opposite ends of a spectrum...

HN readers are about 7x more likely than the norm to have NT intuitive thinking traits from this poll last week - <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=943722" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=943722</a>

Does "gifted" mean intelligent? Or is this a case of the horse following the cart?

Intuitive and perceiving say "right brain" or non-linear thinking to me. The Greeks might have called this function the muse.<p>What of the non-gifted student? Is he deaf, or is his muse mute?

See Table 5. Discussion is interesting too.

INTP.

INTJ.
