The genius thing. Ok, so this INTP class is capable of tackling intractable problems through wild abstraction. Independent of raw intelligence, when these abstractions come together in a structured and relevant form, solving problems that were previously impossible, or maybe even did not exist - we view it as genius. But, this same individual is capable of of abstraction in the wrong way too, they are not super-human, just really different than the norm. Darwin, Newton, Einstein, etc - beautiful ideas, but also ludicrous ideas sprinkled throughout their careers. Would they be considered geniuses if they were living today, in this age of information and knowledge explosion? Maybe. More important than the label of the individual is knowing that these ideas can manifest. More important than calling someone a genius is realizing that someone may be capable of brilliant ideas. The INTP class, is perhaps more capable of generating these genius ideas just because of the uniqueness in thought. However, they are also more capable of generating ideas that fail miserably.
