Socionics, the MBTI and the Pretense of Intellectualism....

Have you noticed that in the MBTI and even socionics, this is NT/Rational/Scientific type:

Is there really anything of substance that makes him smart? I find instead the mere pretense of intelligence, based on speech/clothes/behaviour. It bothers me, because I am the exact oppositie of Stewie: when people talk to me in real life, they get more of the feeling that I am an 'everyday guy,' and would have no sense that I have any sort of intellectual side at all... It also bothers me, because I wonder if, in the end, I am not 'Rational NT', but instead some more 'ordinary' type, when I have worked my whole life to be smart! It makes me angry: why would someone like that be considered 'high IQ' and me 'average intellect' for such superficial reasons, when I know damn well I'm smart? Is it necessary that I brag about it every chance I get? What is going on here?! Anyway, I'd like to hear what you think...
