I fall in the NT’s i.e., Rationalists. Yes, I do value knowledge and competence above any other thing in a person. And that’s the reason why I’m a sapiosexual too. I’m just overawed by any woman who talks about intelligent things rather than the typical fashion and beauty related talks. In fact, if I see a woman with grey matter in abundance, then I get totally blinded to her physical looks. I just don’t care how she looks after that. By the way, awesome chart. I can totally relate to most of the things in it. A proud rationalist!!!
I’m an NT as well and I totally agree with what you said.
