Are most Aspies INTPs or INTJs?

Post Reply New Topic

I think that myers briggs can quite often make aspies appear like certain types, so it is hard to type them. I personally am an intp, and it is very prominent, so I don't tend to doubt it.

Just now took it again on a website that offers it for free (may not be as scientific as doing for real in a clinic) and got INFP.

I think that I usually get either INTP or INTJ .

Look up the functions, they clear up a lot of confusion.

INTP functions: Ti-Ne-Si-Fe
INFP functions: Fi-Ne-Si-Te
INTJ functions: Ni-Te-Fi-Se

I consistently test as an INTJ but I identify more with the INTP description. The first time I ever took the test was in highschool and I tested at 100% introverted. I've gotten a little bit better since then but I still test around 90%.

I usually score close to equal on INTP and INFP. My friend group consists of an ENFP, INFP, and a INTJ. We had to do a quiz on it when we started University. Sometimes I take that quiz pretending to take it from one of my fictional character's perspective, the questions can help me take into account parts of their character that I may not otherwise consider.

There is the theory of INXP, a person who has equally strong Fi and Ti, then has Ne and Si. Most would refute this by saying it's not possible to be so introverted, given INTP is the most introverted type and INFP the second most introverted. Also cool, I always wanted to be friends with an INTJ or ISTJ.

People have asked me "Are you sure you're not extroverted?" before.

I can spend time with people and talk for ages, I just collapse on my bed out of exhaustion afterwards.

Although even self-identified extroverts probably get tired from social interaction eventually, it just takes longer.

Doodling can help, sometimes if I feel tired in a social interaction I can become a tad irritable and rude, so I like to do something with my hands since it helps me remain calm and focused in the situation, thus less likely to snap at the other person.

Actually, according to the stats on this site, the most common categories are INTJ (33%), INTP (21%), INFJ (22%), and INFP (12%). Interestingly I end up with the ENTJ type (3%).

No surprise, this world is oriented towards mostly ESXX and ISXJ types.
