Lack of source, logically inconsistent (why if it's a measure of 2% of smartest population, no type goes over 2%), methodology is dubious (how were types identified?, so far there is no empirically proven way to measure them; also, the whole data almost follows a close pattern IN>EN>IS>ES: real world data are rarely this clean). "The I's don't get their energy from the E's" THIS IS THE MOST RIDICULOUS WAY TO CALCULATE INTELLIGENCE I'VE EVER READ, and the most absurd thing is that introverts are even considered to be 10% smarter!
