Whimsy Library (whimsylibrary) | 3 comments I'll go first, I am an INFP 4w3. I've had this long-lasting special interest since 2019. I think manh personality types go hand-in-hand with neurodivergence.

Whimsy Library (whimsylibrary) | 3 comments I also love analyzing fictional characters with MBTI. It has made TV and reading much more digestible for me. I am always at Personality Database to see how others "type" characters.

Autistic Book Club Admin | 198 comments This is interesting, I was talking to someone about this recently!
I've never looked into enneagrams, I have no idea what I am.

But, according to MBTI, I'm an INTJ.
It's apparently the rarest type for a woman, 0.5% of women are INTJ.

I also read 'an INTJ woman can go her whole life and only meet a couple of people with the same personality type', which is probably true, and hasn't been the greatest feeling to be honest, but I feel I have met more like me within the Autistic community.

BTW, I LOATHED the thought of being pigeon holed into a 'type', but then I read the description of INTJ, and it was so perfectly me!

Anyone else know their personality types?

Moti Black | 1 comments I was tested years ago and came out INFJ (advocate). Was happy with the description at the time, but can't remember much about it now.

Ashlee of Jupiter (ashleeofjupiter) I’m big on typing and astrology and all that stuff (It was how I made sense of myself and others before I knew I was AuDHD).

I’m an INFJ, 4w5. It’s actually incredible how many autistic people are INFx and type 4s.

So two 'INFJ's posting in a row, and this is the rarest personality type! I think the demographics for 'rare' personality types are wildly different in our community!

Ikr! You're the rarest personality type! I have to do this enneagram thing, and find out what that's about...

Ariana (petuniarhubarb) | 36 comments I’m a 9, and INFP (last I checked).

I prefer the enneagram over Meyer-Briggs because MB seems like the symptom, whereas enneagram feels like the cause. Like enneagram is why I am the way I am (sort of) and MB are how my personality manifests on any given day. My Meyer-Briggs changes most times I test, because I feel different at any given time. But my enneagram is always the same because it’s like part of your core identity (E.g.: greatest fears/needs). Does that make sense??

I’m not hating on MB though, I just prefer enneagram. Maybe I’ve thought way too much about it. 😂

David Fusilier (djfusilier) | 2 comments INFP, 9w1 here. When I was younger, I would typically come out as INTJ, but after my 20s and college, it would come out as INFP. Enneagram I had only checked once before and don’t remember what it said (and amazingly didn’t keep a record of it) so this is a new one for me.


message 10: by Shane (new)

Shane Kennedy | 11 comments I’ve gotten both ENFJ and INFJ. A recent introversion/extroversion quiz from the book Quiet placed me as an ambivert, so I’d argue I’m whatever an ANFJ would be called.
