I ran a poll here back in 2009 specifically for aspies.
27% were intj, 22% intp, compares to 2.1% and 3,3% for NT's
Full results can be found about 3/4 of the way through this essay:

| I've been wondering for some time about other aspies and entheogens. Might even set up an anonymous forum survey some day. Back in the day (60's) acid shook my original programming loose, peypte opened my heart a bit and teonanacatl gave me some higher purpose, but ayahuasca has really helped me ada... |

| Stronger than ayahuasca, even? From the accounts I've heard, yes it is, and considerably longer in duration. I've only researched ibogaine but have a lot of first hand experience with ayahuasca. In fact that's how I kicked a fifth-a-day alcohol habit and a 2-1/2 pack-a-day cigarette habit over twen... |

| it doesn't really cure addiction, at least not for long. it might give you a feeling of being "born again" and blah blah but soon enough you'll be shooting up again.

| If you can get ahold of back episodes of Going Tribal, BBC Discovery, Bruce Parry undergoes a real Bwiti ritual in Gabon. Some info here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/tribe/tribes/babongo/index.shtml People who use entheogenic sacraments dislike the pejorative terms drug and hallucinogen. We think an halluc... |

Oops. Error of fact and sloppy writing there. Dunbar's number is the population level where social interaction starts to get intolerably complex and tribes tend to divide in two. So average tribe sizes would be closer to 75-100. |

| What a fine thread. I think several people have surrounded the big problem with this line of inquiry - the assumption that evolution is a purposeful step in a forward direction, in some sort of race between individuals for the future of the gene pool. While it is not a legitimate scientific question... |

What he is saying is that THAT level of bitterness
can only follow on the death of a lot of hope and trust,
and that this is inevitable within a few decades at most
if you see the human potential and what people are not
doing with it. |

I did tend to pick fields where it was easy to get to the creative edge,
or where humans tend to be pretty ignorant - like science, religion,
psychology and politics.
Beyond that, I tried to avoid the dangers of too narrow a specialization
by obsessing on or specializing in knowledge-in-general |

I had teachers who really pushed me, but that's a different thing. |

Since we need to learn and practice the non-verbal communication that comes naturally and spontaneously to others, I suspect we'd be the ones more apt to feel like we're being phony.
But at least our self-consciousness might assist us in avoiding being truly phony. |

I'm the eldest of three brothers.
However, I'm afraid that if you wanted your poll to mean anything
you would have had to provide at least a separate box for only child,
and preferably oldest of two, oldest of three, etc. Without that your
information is useless. |

I regard my own AS as the opposite of ADD -
I can focus on something for ten years, and
eight to twelve hours without even looking up. |
