Are you Aspergers?

[walpurgis]

my schooling involved a lot of canings and beatings and eventually being asked to leave.

We must be related.

Had to do another post so my number of posts now equals my age.

If you post again, it'll cock that right up!

Did you read the full description of INFJ Barry?

No - couldn't be bothered!

[Barry]

Just read it - sums me up quite well.

Tried to answer honestly and came up with INTP

The description is quite close to me (I think) in some places, way off in others:

From memory, I'm INTP too and my view is the same as yours. It's a bit like horoscopes; some aspects of a 'sign' will fit some people, and one tends to overlook/ignore those aspects that don't. For example, I'm supposedly fascinated by numbers, whereas in reality I'm bemused by them.

However, horoscopes are pure 'flights of fancy'. Whereas, the test in question has some basis in logic.

Yes, complex maths makes my head hurt so I avoid it. Which isn't hard, thankfully. And if someone suggested having a game of trying to make as many words as possible from the letters on a mayonnaise jar I'd think they'd lost their mind.

I'm apparently exactly like my star sign though. I had one of those computer things done when they were all the rage in the early 90s, the one where you have to input where you were born and when you were born to the minute, not just the date. I thought the accompanying description was nothing like me but everyone who knew me including my girlfriend who I'd lived with for 3 years said it was spot on. So maybe there is something in it?

Me too as a rule. But if I apply myself, I can work complex sums out in my head to about eight or ten places. Usually when I'm in bed having trouble kipping.
