Primary:
I have equal parts of these:

Numan type: Daydreamer, often spaces out. Finds other people very hard to understand, and finds they are very often misunderstood. Has many dreams. Finds it very, very hard to bond with people.
But I’m not bipolar and I’m not really that much of a planner.

Carroll type: Passive, very introverted, quiet. Very deeply involved in special interests. Having friends or relationships is always secondary to special interests. Appears calm outside, showing little emotion, but can be anxious inside. Prefers to keep all emotions subdued publically. Very likely to be bullied in school.
But I can definitely get angry and I’m not very shy. I can pretty much talk to anyone if I have something concrete to say or ask. It’s smalltalk and conversations I can’t do since I couldn’t come up with a topic if my life depended on it.

Secondary:

Morrissey type: Fantasises a lot, feels very separated from people. Likes creativity. Feels a connection with other times in history. Feels like a completely unique person inside. Can often be called ”Alien” by others. (I was called Moon Bird in elementary school.)
But I don’t have schizophrenia and I’m not into art. Not sure about the history thing.

Einstein type: Intellectual, high IQ. Excellent grammar and spelling (in my own language anyway). Likes to be known as an expert on their chosen special interest. May become argumentative with others who they feel are less knowledgable than they are.
I’m not sure about my IQ as I score superior on WAIS tests, but significantly lower on other types of tests. Not great with computers.

I missed ”serious” as a characteristic.

I have some of the Warhol bitterness in that I never forgive nor forget.

1st would be spielberg type 2nd warhole 3rd einstein
einstein is only in there because i have above avarage IQ

It's easy to see oneself in those categories, in some ways.

I didn't get some of the references, though. who were Powell and Nicholls?

Here's a previous thread on the topic that includes a transcription of the text, in case you don't want to read slowly and listen to repetitive music:

Einstein and Warhol

Thanks.

For me...

Primary: Equal parts Einstein and Carroll.
Secondary: Numan, with a little bit of Morrissey.

(Assuming I'm doing this right... )

I dunno.. I feel very thinly spread over most of those. I don't really identify with any one or two of them over the others. I'm not the aggressive one though.

Hmm, I'd say I'm predominantly the Nicholls type.

Mostly the einstein type, but I see a bit of myself in quite a few of them. I'm a bit morrissey. Mild nicholls and mild caroll.

Craig Nicholls, singer of The Vines/Australian pop/rock band, I guess.

I'm basically ... alternating between different traits, depending on my environment?
-above-average IQ (but still 'nothing to write home about')
-traits of ADD, mixed with more inattentive than hyper
-highly avoidant behaviour
-used to be treated for BPD

Einstein and Carrol for me.

Well I'd never seen that list of types before but its certainly interesting. From the looks of it I am more or less all except Speilberg, Powell and Warhol.

Primary: Morrissey, by far.

Secondary: Spielberg.

I have bits and pieces of Powell and I have the high IQ and spelling/grammar of the Einstein but nothing else.

I am a fairly strong Neuman..with good streak of Morrissey

also, I was more of a Nichols in my youth..but have grown out of it over the years...

The 9th

I think I'm Numan/Morrissey.

There's no way I could choose one of those. I fit them all in different ways.
