ENTJ IQ — what's the average for The Commander?
The average reported IQ for ENTJ (The Commander) across published MBTI cognitive studies sits around 122 — placing the typical ENTJ in the 93th percentile of the general population.
ENTJs combine strong fluid reasoning with high verbal ability. Te dominance favours structured analytical thinking.
Why ENTJs tend to score where they do
→Pause. Find out YOUR IQ before you keep reading.MBTI type is not a measurement of intelligence — it's a personality typology rooted in Jung's cognitive function theory. But certain dominant function patterns correlate with cognitive task performance:
- Extraversion — tends to favour rapid integration of external information
- Intuition (N) — correlates with strong fluid reasoning and pattern recognition on IQ tests, which is part of why NT types consistently score highest
- Thinking (T) — correlates modestly with logical and matrix reasoning task performance
- Judging (J) — has the weakest individual correlation with IQ; matters more for working style than raw ability
The honest caveat
→Curious how YOU score? 20-min calibrated test.Average IQ by MBTI type is a statistical tendency, not a rule. The standard deviation within any single type is typically 12-15 IQ points — which means there are ENTJs scoring well above 145 and ENTJs scoring below 90. The type tells you nothing about any individual's actual cognitive ability.
If you want to know YOUR actual IQ rather than the average for your MBTI type, take a properly calibrated test that uses real psychometric scoring (IRT 3PL Bayesian MAP estimation) rather than a quick quiz.
