MBTI personality test

I got the "architect INTJ-T" its describes me really well.

I think the overall description of that type of personality is quite an autistic one not sure about the others but mine described me very accurately. Apparently it's one of the rarest ones? How rare are your ones, anyone who took the test?

O

I come out as INFP.

INFP seem to make up around 4-6% of people who take the test. More females seem to get the INFP typing than males. I'm born male, and I'm a bit non-binary. It seems like INFP males make up about 1-1.5% of the population.

I gather 'intuitive' results are, in general, rarer than 'sensing/observing' types.

In the various people I've known who have gone through the test, it seems that all people with 'intuitive' types have had some degree of neurodivergency about them, which has interested me to note.

Yep agreed! The only sensing/observing types I met in my life have been neurotypical.

" This could apply here: 'no, there aren't more neuro divergent people now days. There are just more people who feel able to freely be themselves without having to hide and pretend to be something they are not.' "

Yeah, that seems a pretty convincing argument to me.

This is interesting because I saw someone saying something which could apply to neuro divergent people like us.

They wrote 'no, there aren't more LGBT people now days. There are just more people who feel able to freely be themselves without having to hide and pretend to be something they are not.'

I think humans are more different to each other than people think. In fact I saw another article about this years ago by some DNA researchers. Humans aren't all the same, we are different. No shlt Sherlock.

That's good to hear

Wishing him well, and well, wishing us all well really

Aw that's good, I'm happy for them. I guess it depends on upbringing and falling into the right career for you.

My cousin has a lot of traits of Asperger's but he's doing fine in life too. My aunt is a great mother to him, she never pressured him to be anything other than himself. He's super introverted and she's cool with that. He's never had a girlfriend because he's scared of girls (bless him) but I trust that he will meet someone eventually - luckily my aunt doesn't pressure him to get married or anything like that.

Yeah. On a kind of positive side, I have a lot of friends who I recognise as having traits but they're doing fine in life. Good, solid careers, starting families or happy in relationships and there's no need for them to get diagnosed as things stand for them.

Which on one hand is good for them. On another hand, some of us may think, I wonder if it would help if, for statistics sake, some of the neurodiveristy of these people were recognised too.

It's an interesting one.

That sounds likely - lots of people go undiagnosed.

If that were the case, that would kind of indicate that neuro-divergent people are much more common than is usually reported.

It's something like 27% of people as being intuitive types.

I could personally believe that as much as 27% of people have some degree of neuro-divergency about them.
