Aspergers vs. INTJ type?

[invisiblebabe]

Here is part of a Myers-Briggs Profile of an INTJ (Introverted iNtuitive Thinking Judging) type person.

INTJ's tremendous value and need for systems and organization, combined with their natural insightfulness, makes them excellent scientists...It is not easy for the INTJ to express their internal images, insights, and abstractions. The internal form of the INTJ's thoughts and concepts is highly individualized, and is not readily translatable into a form that others will understand. However, the INTJ is driven to translate their ideas into a plan or system that is usually readily explainable, rather than to do a direct translation of their thoughts. They usually don't see the value of a direct transaction, and will also have difficulty expressing their ideas, which are non-linear.

...

INTJs spend a lot of time inside their own minds, and may have little interest in the other people's thoughts or feelings.

Unless their Feeling side is developed, they may have problems giving other people the level of intimacy that is needed.

Unless their Sensing side is developed, they may have a tendency to ignore details which are necessary for implementing their ideas.

...
Other people may have a difficult time understanding an INTJ. They may see them as aloof and reserved. Indeed, the INTJ is not overly demonstrative of their affections, and is likely to not give as much praise or positive support as others may need or desire. That doesn't mean that he or she doesn't truly have affection or regard for others, they simply do not typically feel the need to express it. Others may falsely perceive the INTJ as being rigid and set in their ways. Nothing could be further from the truth, because the INTJ is committed to always finding the objective best strategy to implement their ideas. The INTJ is usually quite open to hearing an alternative way of doing something.

My question is, what are the differences between an Aspie and a strong INTJ?

Aspie is a diagnosis...INTJ is a personality...I would say most Aspies are INTJ...but you don't have to be Aspie to be INTJ...

Also Personalities can change...I was INFP when I was in college...and now I am INTJ...but I have always been an Aspie

I think that makes sense

Actually you are born with your main personality, it develops around the age of 3. It can change in some ways due to your environment etc. I am an INTJ. I am not an aspie, but I might have one or two aspie tendencies.

My fiance and I are both Aspies and both INFP.
