"Carl Jung's theory of psychological types says each person is "wired" with different tendencies and preferences."
To me that suggests that psychological types are innate and can only be modified "on the margins", for example, you can study the classifications of each answer and attempt to modify your behaviour patterns somewhat. I believe the same goes for IQ, you really can't change it all that much. I once tutored an IQ-85 for a couple of months with a view to her passing a particular job entry test; we found that with a lot of work we could get her to 95 (although not to 100, no matter what we did) and that a three-day break would drop her back to 90, a week and she was 85 again. We were using a very large book of reputable standard IQ tests which the employer was also using.

Additionally, significant personality behavioral change can't be imposed externally. Internal renovation is required to transform norms and standards, points of view, hypersensitivities to self, insensitivity to others, values and priorities. As either Will Rogers or Mark Twain observed, 'We're all ignorant on different subjects': IQ, such as it is, may be applied to greater or lesser degrees depending on the motivation and work ethic of the individual. Also, High IQ often lacks consistently sound judgment in practical matters (as is the case with my daughter, Heidi Lynn, whose tests have exceeded 165).

My only daughter would not take too kindly to her name and person
being appropriated for an ill tempered rant and public derision.

Your only daughter? It was you who injected her name, not me.
Ill temper? I was merely trying to translate your turgid gobbledygook.

Is it an excerpt from Finnegans Wake?

I agree. Why do you continue to embarrass her in public?
Hasn't IQ been shown to be a rather poor method of measuring intelligence anyway? I'm not sure that quoting IQ scores, high or low has any usefulness at all. They might be a fun diversion, but don't reflect the latest research on intelligence.

I'm not sure how Myers Briggs and IQ relate, it does measure 'geekness' but not intelligence, I know its used to fit people into the right jobs. Worked for me, I didn't think much of the test when I took it, but the profile was so uncanny and most people thought so.
This is a great website for describing the different types - doesn't have the test but the profiles are great -
