For example try to bring up the subject of "intuitive bias" within the MBTI Community and there would be RAGE and trolling immediately. Why would they when it strokes their egos so nicely and gives them an imaginary way to feel superior to the hordes of mindless "sensors" who are out there accomplishing things with their lives while these intuitive "geniuses" sit in their basements unable to function in society or, as one said, even drive? Loretta Swit begged the writers to stop using it. I put them lower than the INFJ because they are prone to anger, which can seriously cloud ones judgement. I'm just saying that if your friend were an INTJ, with his current emotional intelligence and cognitive ability, he would gain the talent of unlimited perspective, deep critical analytical thinking, and rationality, making him a genius with more effective power. Although the article is interesting I believe that you need to validate your theory by going in the street and test people.
