I've just been asked about Aspergers and Introversion so decided to do a bit of a poll here. I know that Ouinon already mentioned something about this at http://www.wrongplanet.net/postt47338.html. In particular;

Ouinion wrote:

Out of the 169 WP members who have so far taken the Jung-Myers Typology Test for Introversion-Extroversion which is on another thread on here: 165 got a introvert score. That is to say that more than 99% of people on WP are introvert.

I can't see the scores for this but it does seem a bit overwhelming.... anyway, if you'd like to do the test and post results (and fill in your answer at the top, it would be nice - and we might all learn something from it).

The test is here
http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes1.htm

For the record, my results were; INFJ

* Introverted 33%
* Intuitive 25%
* Feeling 38%
* Judging 22%

You're welcome.

Thanks Fnord, I thought there was another poll somewhere but figured it would be a long time ago - also, due to WP's Poll problem there's only 15 possible responses instead of 16. I've now looked at the two previous polls together and found;

93% Introverted vs 7% Extroverted

78% Introverted + Intuition
22% Introverted + Sensing

76% Introverted + Intuition + Thinking
24% Introverted + Intuition + Feeling

The last category is even enough to rule out differences (actually, I think it rules out Isabel Briggs-Myers fourth criterion of Judging/Perceiving entirely).
55% INTJ = Introversion + Intuition + Thinking + Judging
45% INTP = Introversion + Intuition + Thinking + Perceiving

INTJ for me. For what it's worth, I was getting that score long before I had even heard of Asperger's syndrome.

I guess aspies tend to be INTJ because that is what I came up with.

Your Type is INTJ
Introverted 67%
Intuitive 12%
Thinking 75%
Judging 22%

I wonder what the cut off of the percentages are before they say you are one or the other. I noticed that some people had percentages on the other side of 50% that were scored the same as me.

INFJ and proud.
I've tested INFJ for at least 10 years (as long as I've been taking the test).
INFJs are cool, apparently we like to help people.
But not without attitude.

INTJ

44 introverted
62 intuitive
50 thinking
33 judgemental

Funny, I thought I'd be more introverted than that.

By the way, can anyone explain what these actually mean?
