Interesting.

INTJ

HA! http://www.socionics.com/prof/intj.htm

"INTjs usually have an interest that stays with them for a long time and are absolutely indifferent to what others say about it. They never endorse their position in life. INTjs live in a world of their own conception. They simply ignore rules, concepts and directives that do not suit them. Most people do not understand INTjs and try to keep away from them."

Ha, this is really interesting.
The Myers-Briggs type indicator has been one of my big interests for several years, and I find it very interesting that we have so many INTJs and INTPs

I'm very much an INTJ, but INTJs and INTPs are each estimated to comprise anywhere from 1% to 3% of the population, which means that we should have an average combined forum population of about 4% INTx's, assuming we have a random sampling of the population.

However, we clearly do not have a random sampling, given that this is a forum primarily concerned with ASDs, and it seems that at least 50% of the members who have listed an M.B.T.I type so far have fallen into one of the two INTx categories!

What I find even more interesting is that when professionals attempt to retroactively assign Myers Briggs Personality types to past figures, it is the prime movers of history, such as Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Thomas Jefferson, Paul Dirac (a less known but equally influential physicist) and others, i.e. the people who are frequently retroactively diagnosed with Asperger's, are all the exact same people who have been retroactively assigned to either the INTJ or INTP personality types!

Interesting correlation.

I remember reading on wikipedia and elsewhere that the INTP type heavily correlates with "schizoid personality disorder" and "high functioning autism" while the INTJ type correlates with "Asperger's Syndrome". I don't know the numbers, but if anyone does, it would be interesting to see them.

The Dirac delta function has many interesting applications in signal processing. I'm making an assumption that it is Paul Dirac who discovered it. I know nothing about what he accomplished, but I may know some information pertaining to his theories without really knowing he discovered these thingfs, if you can understand what I'm saying.

I think you are referring to this quotation:

There seems to be a strong correlation between those with Asperger syndrome or high-functioning autism (HFA) and the INTP type of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI): description 1, description 2. Another theory states that Asperger's correlates to the INTP personality type, whereas high functioning autism correlates to the INFJ personality type.

It used to be in Wikipedia, word for word, but it was removed. I suspect that the claims could not be documented.

Oh yeah, checking over again, I'm definitely an ESFP.

That would make sense. I remember reading on INTP discussion boards while lurking around topics on AS/HFA and noticing that a large percentage of the members there(> 25%) claimed to have been AS. That may have been where that originated from.

I'm either an ENFJ or an INFJ, depending on the company.

They're both Idealists. The ENFJ one is the teacher, and the INFJ one is the counselor. Works for me. I got my bachelors in music ed and am getting my masters in music therapy.

When you have a "J" in your MBTI results, it merely means that you extrovert your judging function, which for you, would be feeling. So as an ISFJ, you'd use primarily introverted sensing with secondary extroverted feeling. If you had a P in your results, that'd merely mean that your perceiving function is extroverted (sensing, intuition). Having a J doesn't mean your judgmental in the sense that you go around judging peoples' characters.
