It was horrible to feel the emotional fallout from these, their final vitriolic words and the sudden silence echoing questions into the void. One thing I recommend is to take s... |

| Wow, I thought a lot of people with Asperger's might be INTJ or INTP, but it seems like almost everyone is! I have Asperger's, but I think I'm INFP. I mean, that's what the test told me, and after looking up all sixteen personality types, it seemed to be the only one that fit entirely (A few INFJ t... |
