Typical intellectual engagement (TIE) is a personality construct referring to a person's enjoyment (or dislike) of intellectually demanding activities.[1] TIE was developed to identify aspects of personality most closely related to intelligence and knowledge and measures a person's typical performance in intellectual domains rather than their maximal performance (intellectual capacity measured by IQ tests).[2] TIE is moderately positively associated with crystallized intelligence,[1] and with general knowledge,[3] and predicts academic performance.[4] TIE is hard to distinguish from the earlier construct need for cognition[2] and is positively correlated with openness to experience.[5]
