What’s your Myer-Briggs personality type?

Ah a kindred logician

Yes, you can.

You can but I made that prediction on the basis that this primarily an ASD forum website, and one of the general characteristics of autistics is to introverted. By general it is implied that while a majority may be introverts, it is entirely possible to be an extrovert. At our current level of medical technology of the 21st century, an Autism Spectrum Disorder is diagnosed via criteria checklist, to put it simply. One of those criteria is social isolation, which loosely translates to introvert. Since that is only one of the criteria, it is possible for someone to be diagnosed without that specific trait, extrovert.

Haha you say that sarcastically but I would trade all my socks to meet and converse with a ‘basically cold, logical, and quiet’ INTJ/P among my peers. Unfortunately I have yet to meet anyone my age who I can have a deeply intellectual conversation with. My idea of someone fun to be with is someone who can provide mentally stimulating conversation. I think that is one of the reasons aspies have trouble keeping conversations alive is that we find the subject dull and monotonous. Anything we love to talk about is often seen as boring or hard to follow. If I knew any INTJ or INTPs, I could have a conversation based in theoretics and logic rather than feelings, that most NTs automatically leak into conversation. Aspies do have feelings, I believe we feel more deeply than others because of frequent and intricate introspection. Just because our feeling aren’t on the surface doesn’t mean they are lesser than others. Many of us also naturally speak with a rich vocabulary, with can lead to difficulty in effective communication for anyone who doesn’t understand what they mean.I personally have a problem with alliteration, and tend to speak and type that way unconsciously. Hmm I believe I am rambling off subject. Oops

I should get a shirt that says “no small talk”.

Ha ha, I am an ESTP but then again I managed to qualify as a counsellor too (which was very hard).

I wasn't diagnosed with ASD until right near the end of my training.

So far my prediction seems to be correct, I believe you are currently a minority on this thread unless 27 extroverts just suddenly post here (don’t ask where I came up with 27)

See above the above comment above yours

Interestingly, I'm also on a non-ASD forum, and most people there are also introverts. I'm not quite sure why that is. Maybe it's because introverts tend to use online forums more. Or maybe it's because asexuals (which is who the forum is for) are more likely to be introverts.

I probably am in the minority but it is not so unusual for a person to be both - I have had the opportunity to do lots of personal development.

Out of interest, I just did another test and I came out ENFP - I was very borderline in most areas apart from one.

I don't fit neatly into one category. I'm very strongly I (as strongly as possible, in fact) and J, but am close on N/S and T/F, and can come out on either side of both depending on my mood when I take the test.

I think I would come out with a different type if I did this again tomorrow in a different mood with more energy.

I also wonder if age makes a difference and experience has changed me?

INTJ all the way.

That’s no surprise, I don’t fit neatly into my category either, I took it three different times and took the average percentage of each letter from each result. (I am indecisive so I don’t test well, indecisiveness is actually part of being an INTP). I bordered between P and J every time but mostly leaning toward P. I am also extreme borderline between A/T so close that depending on the day or situation, I could be either

INTJ-A

I fairly consistently test INTJ since I was ~ 29.

I don't know that I've done one of these with the A/T thing at the end before. This time I got...
I(97%)
N(59%)
F(68%)
J(83%)
T(83%)

Can someone break the T for Tactics down for me?

I ranged high in prosperity for this over judging - so what does this mean?

In fact what does all the rest mean?

Different websites use different words for the letters but all the words they use are basically identical in definition.

This is from humanmetrics
The first criterion, Extraversion – Introversion, signifies the source and direction of a person’s energy expression. An extravert’s source and direction of energy expression is mainly in the external world, while an introvert has a source of energy mainly in their own internal world.

The second criterion, Sensing – Intuition, represents the method by which someone perceives information. Sensing means that a person mainly believes information he or she receives directly from the external world. Intuition means that a person believes mainly information he or she receives from the internal or imaginative world.

The third criterion, Thinking – Feeling, represents how a person processes information. Thinking means that a person makes a decision mainly through logic. Feeling means that, as a rule, he or she makes a decision based on emotion, i.e. based on what they feel they should do.

The fourth criterion, Judging – Perceiving, reflects how a person implements the information he or she has processed. Judging means that a person organizes all of his life events and, as a rule, sticks to his plans. Perceiving means that he or she is inclined to improvise and explore alternative options.


This is from 16personalities

MIND
This aspect shows how we interact with our surroundings:

Introverted individuals prefer solitary activities and get exhausted by social interaction. They tend to be quite sensitive to external stimulation (e.g. sound, sight or smell) in general.

Extraverted individuals prefer group activities and get energized by social interaction. They tend to be more enthusiastic and more easily excited than introverts.


ENERGY
The second aspect determines how we see the world and process information:

Observant individuals are highly practical, pragmatic and down-to-earth. They tend to have strong habits and focus on what is happening or has already happened.

Intuitive individuals are very imaginative, open-minded and curious. They prefer novelty over stability and focus on hidden meanings and future possibilities.


NATURE
This aspect determines how we make decisions and cope with emotions:

Thinking individuals focus on objectivity and rationality, prioritizing logic over emotions. They tend to hide their feelings and see efficiency as more important than cooperation.

Feeling individuals are sensitive and emotionally expressive. They are more empathic and less competitive than Thinking types, and focus on social harmony and cooperation.


TACTICS
This aspect reflects our approach to work, planning and decision-making:

Judging individuals are decisive, thorough and highly organized. They value clarity, predictability and closure, preferring structure and planning to spontaneity.

Prospecting individuals are very good at improvising and spotting opportunities. They tend to be flexible, relaxed nonconformists who prefer keeping their options open.


IDENTITY
Finally, the Identity aspect underpins all others, showing how confident we are in our abilities and decisions:

Assertive (-A) individuals are self-assured, even-tempered and resistant to stress. They refuse to worry too much and do not push themselves too hard when it comes to achieving goals.

Turbulent (-T) individuals are self-conscious and sensitive to stress. They are likely to experience a wide range of emotions and to be success-driven, perfectionistic and eager to improve.
