Myers-Briggs correlation with IQ

[c***@mail.com]

I was searching for information on the correlation of MBTI
types/subsypes to IQ. I came accross the following page:
http://libertycorner.blogspot.com/2004/03/iq-and-personality.html
Unfortunately there is no reference or e-mail address - but overall the
blog seems very competent.
----------------------
* Other personality traits being the same, an iNtuitive person
(one who grasps patterns and seeks possibilities) is 27 times more
likely to have a high IQ than a Sensing person (one who focuses on
sensory details and the here-and-now).

* Again, other traits being the same, an Introverted person is
8 times more likely to have a high IQ than one who is Extraverted; a
Thinking (logic-oriented) person is 2.5 times more likely to have a
high IQ than a Feeling (people-oriented) person; and a Judging person
(one who seeks closure) is about twice as likely to have a high IQ than
a Perceiving person (one who likes to keep his options open).

* Moreover, if you encounter an INTJ (Introverted, iNtuitive,
Thinking, Judging), there is a 37% probability that his IQ places him
in the top 2 percent of the population. The probability is 20% for an
INTP, 15% for an INFJ, and 8% for an INFP. These four types account for
66% of the high-IQ population but only 6% of the total population.

Does anybody have references to correlations between IQ and MBTI
types/subtypes?

These are orthogonal concepts with significant amounts of independence.
Despite what the data says above, one would expect to see the whole
spectrum of intelligences within each personality type. FWIW and among
other things, Wiki is critical of both the validity and reliability of
the MBTI test http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers-Briggs_Type_Indicator.
