The table above is one example of the data gleaned from gifted students. There are samples of this effect within the test manual, itself, but more recently, a number of researchers, such as Deb Ruf and Jane Piirto have looked at this more closely. As it becomes available, it will be added.

Note that the Introverts and the iNtuitives show a much greater strength in the gifted population than in the general. Also note that the girls are scoring higher in Thinking and the boys in Feeling than would have been expected.

Ugur Sak has done an interesting article on this topic. It and many others are cited on Hoagies, of course.
