This sounds so Aspie-ish!

You shouldn't go by reading the types. Take the test. http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp I've scored the same over 25 years. That really isn't good by NT standards. You're supposed to change over time.

A native German teacher told my class NEVER ask "Wie geht es Ihnen?"(How goes it with you?) unless you REALLY want to know!

As for the conversation YOU spoke of? I had a lot of the "rude", "interupting", etc... run out of me like when I was 6. You have never heard my mother. She feels that I will never get anywhere if I fail to open the door for her even once! I'm curteous, but it isn't like I spend my whole day opening doors. People always interrupted me without comment, but I never dared interrupt them, even at a 1 minute pause! Hey, people STILL complained into my teens, so it wasn't perfect. Well, in the 60s, people seemed to care. As time passed, they cared less and less. TODAY, I am LITERALLY shocked when someone responds to my "OK, and YOU?"! It is RARE that they answer.

INTJ +, M, +, M

I would tend to agree with that assessment.

I took the test and came back with ISTJ. It said I should be an accountant, which is cool, as I'm in career transition from engineering to finance.

The description it gave of me was startlingly accurate. Am I that predictable?

I took the test twice and got 2 different results : ISTJ (the guardian) at first and INTJ then. I would say this is ok as both descriptions fit me.

"Natural leaders, Masterminds are not at all eager to take command of projects or groups, preferring to stay in the background until others demonstrate their inability to lead"

Made me laugh, this is exactly like me, I really don't want the burden to be "the leader", but I will always end up taking charge of everything. As INTJ, you seek the best solution to a problem. As ISTJ, you defend that solution for future occurences of that problem. That explains why I have much success at job, but only there as those skills are pretty useless in other social situations "Personal relationships, particularly romantic ones, can be the INTJ's Achilles heel." and "many also find it useful to learn to simulate some degree of surface conformism in order to mask their inherent unconventionality" from INTJ sound very aspie-like

I don't know if theres an exact match between the personality types and AS, but I'd think that INTP and INTJ (probably others). In fact my friends then to correspond to INTP, INTJ, ISTJ and ISTP descriptions. Curious to know if anybody here is ESFJ ?

Dragon,

That just means your scores for N and S are close. It also means you can switch between thinker and doer as you need to. Very good traits!

Zanne

INTP = Introvert, iNtuitive, Thinking, Perceiving

MBTI = Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
which says that most people are

Introvert or Extravert
iNtuitive or Sensing (or Sensate)
Thinking or Feeling (feeling as in feelings)
Perceptive or Judging (juding as in decisive)

here's a test, not serious, but maybe fun, gives a general idea

This is me too. I usually get INTJ but sometimes I get ISTJ. When I read the descriptions, the N and the S both have traits listed that fit me.

I've taken these tests many times over the years.
Always INTJ, Very extreme on the I, N & T, moderate on the J.

My husband, who is emphatically NOT an aspie, just tested as an ESFJ. So we are complete opposites! Though I think it was very close between ESFJ and ISFJ for him.

That's interesting.. I took the test again and got:

I guess I'm a borderline sensing / intuitive type...

Aren't you starting to think that most of that 1-2% is all here?

Oh, by the way, I'm INTJ also. Heavy on the J.
