NT is to me someone who believes all the lies, claims all the fallacies, sustains all the cliches, admonishes all the non-truths, yet has a blessed intuition that, at the time of having to take a course of action, makes him/her act in the correct, logical, best-for-their-interests way, bypassing all the conscious misconceptions. NTs are able to fool themselves and live in a world of illusion because their intuition guides them the true way anyway.
Aspies, on the other hand, have to live very glued to reality and logic, because we can't trust our (at least in my case, almost non-existent) intuition to guide us but only our logic. This is why we are literal, too honest in our thinking and talking, can't do smalltalk, etc. etc.
