Your Scores
Viscerotonia = 13
Somatotonia = 13
Cerebrotonia = 22
It's fascinating how many people chose cerebrotonia in the poll. Very curious. |

| I ordered a 30 pound queen size weighted blanket from sensacalm a few weeks ago. My first impression was that the blanket is well made with durable cloth and is nicely stitched. I chose the charcoal color cloth, and while this material isn't rough, it's no where near as soft as my favorite blanket. ... |

| It also helps that I am quite technically proficient and can fix darn near anything. The car I drive was chosen for fuel efficiency and low operating costs, and I have gone through all of it's systems to be sure it's reliable and leak free. I am also gathering the parts to build my ultimate pizza d... |

I often imagine talking to an invisible audience, or continue (in my head) a conversation that I had in real life (say, the day ... |

Another INTP here.
I am curious to know if different areas of the brain are more or less active with the various personality types. I would also venture a guess that some pathways show greater connectivity, some with less. |

| I used to suck/chew on wet washcloths. I liked the taste and the feel. Whenever I see certain baby/toddler toys or teething rings that look familiar I have an urge to bite/chew on them.

Thanks for the heads up! |

| I believe ewes is saying to avoid taking drugs to help ease the effects of some of the more difficult aspects of AS. If you live with these issues, you will develop much greater coping skills and become a better person because of it. |

| I'm 6'3'', was 350lbs before I started lifting and cutting. Dropped to 215 and maintained for ~6 months. Currently back cutting down, going for 180lbs. I do agree that having AS is very beneficial when working towards a goal. I am about as dedicated as a person can get when I put my mind to something. |

I'm in college now, and I can still go back through my elementary school. I can also mentally picture a model of something... |

| I often recognize some of the more obvious AS traits in others. It doesn't mean they have AS, they could be just a bit different from the norm. |

Recently, I came to the realization that as a kid I had no theory of mind. And now that I do possess TOM, I realize people are constantly judging each other and forming biases and prejudices.
Is it an AS thing to not automatically judge or stereotype people? |
