i've never seen it explained like this. strange though, as isn't INTP kind of disproportionately high among those on the spectrum?


Yes and no. INxT are disproportionately high among those on the spectrum (and, because that, INTPs are high); but, in the context of INxTs, INTPs are disproportionately LOW among those on the spectrum, because (at least according to WP polls) there are more autistic INTJ than INTP, when it is the opposite in general population.

Quote:
i would think from the above it would be ISTJ that is the most common.


It is an interesting question, because there are zillions of articles saying that "concrete thinking" is an autistic/AS trait.

Possible explanations:

1 - Discussing in internet forums (and specially a forum about a complex concept as "autism") and/or take personality tests are "N" activities, while "S" autistics will prefer more "concrete" interests, like collecting model trains; because that, the polls at WP could be biased

2 - when people say that autistics have "concrete thinking", they are nor really saying "autistics prefer facts to ideas" (btw, it is funny how the stereotype of "concrete thinking" in autism and the stereotype of math-genius autistic could coexist...); what they are saying is "autistics prefer facts to emotions" (T vs F) or "autistics prefers questions with a definite answer to open-endend questions" (J vs. P).

BTW, this thread is a good argument for the abandonment of the expression "NT" (because it can mean two totally different things)

The biggest difference between extroverts and introverts is not in the numbers - but in the amount of noise they make! That's why it seems like there are mostly extroverts around.



LOL :lol:

i am new to the site, and seeing the NT around, i was wondering if it was referring to Myers-Briggs as well, hence my navigation to this topic.

Judging by other threads, INTJ & INTP are the most common personality types among people on this forum, followed by INFJ, INFP & ISTJ.

Myself, I'm INTP.

How do we cure NT personality disorder? It is like Narcissistic personality disorder, intentionally undiagnosed to preserve the air of perfection, making it far worse.

Send them all to another country. No electricity. Let them all commit suicide.
