Myers Briggs is slightly more useful than horoscopes.

^^ This. Even among psychologists, who are little more than modern day shamans and witch doctors, the Myers-Briggs type indicator is very controversial. It has no scientific validity.

People on the spectrum aren't all aspies and some of them have very strong emotions, and don't use logic much. I just realized that not too long ago.

I've got ISTJ most of the time, and I think it describes me well, with some ASD specific differences. Perhaps I'm really not an Aspie, as dealing with my emotions is often hard for me (more like a HFA trait).

Here is an 'external' (non-autistic, vegan actually) thread with links:

Many threads about this, bot being snarky but it's been shown many times that INTP/INTJ are the majority.

Once we had a Myers Briggs test administrator post, he said INTP would fit best in his opinion.

*IS INTP*

Judging by other threads, INTJ & INTP are the most common personality types among people on this forum, followed by INFJ, INFP & ISTJ.

Myself, I'm INTP-A.

According to one test :

* 68% introverted
* 74% intuitive
* 68% thinking
* 85% prospective
* 54% assertive
