Me--NT --iNtuitive Thinker, not NeuroTypical. The thing about INTJs being psycopaths and drunks is an urban legend. See:

Everytime I take Myers-Briggs I get INTP.
On this other test I got Idealist, which I think is waaay off, and doesn't correspond to INTP. I didn't like a lot of the questions, because I wanted sometimes to answer either both or neither. One time this girl asked me if I'm a Coffee or French Fries man. I thought it was a terrible question, because if you choose one than the other is null in void. I tend to look at a lot of things like they could go either way. In that sense I'm more of a Relativist, which is why I have difficulty choosing just one answer.

I get INTP on the official Myers-Briggs but typically get INTJ on the online tests, and I think at work people would see me more as ENTJ--I can do the extraversion thing but I need to work at it (and as an Aspie-type, often manage to screw it up).

Myers-Briggs type tests are indicators of temperament, which I think can be partially modulated by life experiences and contexts. I'm kind of interested in how Aspie characteristics overlay basic temperaments. How would, say, an ESFJ Aspie deal with the challenges differently than, say and INTP Aspie, given that ESFJ and INTP are supposed to be polar opposite temperaments.

Fairness aside, I wonder if they are even effective. A person's past behavior is likely to be a better predictor of future behavior.

A sad example of excessive categorisation is DSM, which lists various disorders people have by number. It is a controversial topic which is so saddening that I have decided to try and laugh about it by creating some sort of game out of it.
Does anyone have any ideas? i have never made a game but I had the idea of throwing dice and moving around a board collecting and discarding various problems, by landing on squares containing some expensive or public health system professional, who asks questions which you, as the player have to answer.

You'd better incorporate genetic predispositions into the game--these could be like the Chance cards in Monopoly--or add in environmental perturbations, such as the "Gym Teacher from Hell" that contribute to our psychic distress :)
