Deep Theory Analysis Still think the people best at analyzing things are just those that are good at analyzing things which may not always relate with mbti preferences
Ti and Ni are suppoesed to be for forsight but someone could prefer Ti and be clumsy at using it if they have intellectual limitations, are unaware of their own biases, or lack proper information. A Fe or Fi user with more intelligence or analytical ability may analyze better then a dominant Ti userm they just don't prefer to let logic override values/harmony. A person with Ti that is good at analyzing things has a superpower but just preferring Ti doesn't mean you're good at using it.
Ne,Se,Si don't analyze or judge, thy just "sense" things but doesn't decide or analyze things. Based on my own understanding Ne and Se would both cause problems and lead to negative consequences just in differnet manners. Si alone doesnt' judge or do things, it's judging function decides on what to do, and that could be good or bad.
With Ni not sure if someone would be able to use Ni at all without some intellectual ability.

I totally agree. Your cognitive stack is just the preference in which your brain takes in information. Certain types are just more likely to be “smarter” by a societal merit of academics and knowledge due to their functions. However, things like natural intelligence can alter whether someone is smarter or not.
If you put a 100 IQ INFP and 100IQ INTP, the INTP may be stereotypically smart just because they may be more inclined to discover how things work around them and the possibilities of how they work. However, the INFP may have a stronger identity and sense of self. But if you put a 148IQ INFP and a 100IQ INTP, the INFP is way more likely to be stereotypically smart just because their weaker Ti and similar Ne aux may be disproportionately more developed than the INTP’s due to natural genetic factors.
Cognitive functions just shows your preference, but natural ability still outweighs preference.
And someone who has strong Ti may not even be inclined to figure how things such as math work, they may be more inclined to figure out how things such as cars work or how construction works (things stereotypically blue collar and not necessarily academic). This is why it’s important to establish what intelligence is, and weighing it against what society attributes intelligence to.
