What is a typical Aspie score?
My impression is that many aspies are INTJ.
I am INTP.
There's no "typical" score for a personality assessment, but on forums including this one there seems to be a large number of people who claim to be INTJ, with INTP being the second most common. But keep in mind that 1) in forums like WP, there are a number of people who self-dx and 2) this is personality and not neurology. While INTJ and INTP seems to fit the stereotypes of HF and AS, people on the spectrum do have quite varied personalities in my IRL experience. I've also known quite a few non-spectrum INTJs and INTPs, and while they tend to be neurotic, that they aren't on the spectrum is usually quite evident. INTPs and INTJs, in my experience, tend to be a-holes who are difficult to the point people just give up and avoid them. So I can see how someone might assume an INTP or INTJ is on the spectrum even when they aren't.
I can be an a-hole too, but I think my AS make me less so, actually. Having known some non-spectrum INTPs, I can see myself being a complete a-hole like them, but because of my neurological quirks and social deficits, I'm more self-conscious and that has made me more aware of my behavior.
Non-spectrum INTPs and INTJs can be quite arrogant, which keeps them clueless.
