    Why does the media usually portray the ''smart'' people as ''introverts''(concept is not well defined and scientific but lets just roll with it, we all know what it means). Honestly, all the math geniuses and intellectuals I met were fun loving and outgoing and sociable, never have I met a ''mathematically skilled'' stuck up virgin nerd piece of shit. This one guy I know who basically scored a 90%+ on every math test he ever took, was announcing loudly yesterday on a bus how he is gonna have a threesome that night. Why don't the TV ''nerds'' do that ?

    I know I will prob. answer the question with this but I assume the media tries to cater to spoiled people who are kept indoors by shitty parents. I have no other explanation lol.

    Introverted people are most likely less intelligent. their shyness is brought on by a lack of self confidence, they lack confidence because they're less intelligent. You know it's true.

    Not true. Lack of confidence could be brought on by any number of reasons and in spite of high intellect or capability.

    This just in: many stereotypes are unfounded. More at 11.

    Can we quit with IQ? We already know it's a broken system. Also, there are three widely used IQ scales that differ from each other by about 15 points. It doesn't mean shit.

    Yeah, that's high school and not that impressive. But it is true that very sociable and outgoing people can be very much intellectual, particularly in the way of math skills. Just look at Richard Feynman.

    I'm doing a very math-heavy program, and most of the people in the higher level math classes seem just a tad bit autistic. The thing is that outgoing geniuses like Feynman are rare mostly because outgoing people get wrapped up in socializing more than studying. It's very arrogant and a myth that outgoing people cannot be brilliant--that's just a little myth the aspies use to make themselves feel better.

    Don't you worry your pretty little head. There is a well-documented bias to assume that good-looking and/or socially confident people are more intelligent. Likewise, an assumption that unattractive people are unintelligent.

    Because most intelligent people are introverted, this is backed up with statistics.

    INTP and INTJ personalities have by far the highest IQ's.

    There is obviously a lot of exceptions, but most people with IQ's 125 or 130+ (on deviation 15) are going to be introverted.

    Was fixing my posts.

    It isn't a "broken metric", academic professionals take it seriously with good reason. Look up the data yourself.>>3162854

    Looking for sources now.

    He didn't even bring up IQ, asshat. It has nothing to do with personality. I don't know why you seem so fixated.

    Yeah prob. this, intellectual stimulation is all the stuff aspies can live for, while a NORMAL person has a lot of stuff to chose from.

    Go back to your aspie cave with your shitty pseudo science, my empirical observations contrast that.

    >* Moreover, if you encounter an INTJ (Introverted, iNtuitive,
    Thinking, Judging), there is a 37% probability that his IQ places him
    in the top 2 percent of the population. The probability is 20% for an
    INTP, 15% for an INFJ, and 8% for an INFP. These four types account for
    66% of the high-IQ population but only 6% of the total population.

    This is a nice academic .pdf file that goes into good detail.

    IQ is not that damned accurate. Also, I don't think it can be argued that there are fewer than three popular IQ scales that differ largely from each other.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IQ#Modern_tests

    To say that I have a 130 IQ is not necessarily more impressive than you claiming that you have a 118 IQ. We could be using different scales, and there is no generally accepted go-to scale for general use. So at the very least specify your scale, or just go ahead and shut the fuck up.

    >most intelligent people are introverted

    You're not realizing the fact (obvious to those with common sense) that introverted people are more likely to study, more likely to be introspective, and therefore develop thought patterns _through practice_ that can increase their performance on psychometric testing.

    Btw, this is a science board.

    Psychology belongs in >>>x

    I am an extrovert. My IQ has been measured to be 147. I do improv and I participate in plays and musicals. I am a mathematics major. I don't think that the media always shows intelligent people to be either way, nor do I believe that people all around agree that intelligent people are introverted. I don't go around broadcasting that I am intelligent, however, people tend to pick it up quickly. Stark from Iron man, although fictional, is a good rendition of an extroverted intellectual.
