INFP - However, every time I take these tests the results are always different. I think they're assuming certain traits go together (such as shyness and introversion; or wanting to be rational and having good self control) which don't go together in me.
I identify with both traits of introversion and extroversion (when I'm in a social mood I'm very social, but I need downtime afterwards).
Intuition sounds more like me than sensing because I'm definitely an 'ideas person' (though I doesn't sound like what I usually hear described as intuition, ie claiming you know something when you can't say how you know it).
Thinking and feeling sound like the two halves of my personality which often don't communicate with each other and tend to alternate control, as a result I tend to wildly alternate between the two extremes in my behavior.
Judging/perceiving makes no sense to me whatsoever.
Gifted - IQ 137
Not sure what you mean by the autism subtypes, so I'll just describe my functioning - I had no language delay or overall cognitive delay, but I did have mild motor and self-care delays (only evident after preschool-age, that's how mild they are). My social skills seem superficially normal and I do fine on formalized tests of nonverbal perception, but I get confused in real-life social situations, particularly with peers. At 22 years old, I'm doing well in university but I can't live independently because my self-care skills are around the same level as an average 12-14 year old. Put me in whichever category you want based on that.
