I had not previously been aware that there were 'names' for the different types. Although a psychologist/psychiatrist who diagnosed me recently in Washington,said I was 'Einsteinish' I would disagree in that I am a horrid speller,and even worse in mathmatics,unless it is Geometry. I would say that my personal quarks are more fitting of a 'Spielburg' ,with a bit of 'Carroll' and 'Nicholls' tossed in.
I would describe myself as the "harmless eccentric" type.
D' oh! I didn't notice the video in the first post, and I completely misunderstood the purpose of the thread.
I'd say I'm Numan/Morrisey (is there really that much difference?) with a very light dash of Einstein.
BTW, which "Powell" is being referred to in the video?

I would be morrisey.
This is so interesting! I have wondered why some people seem to be so different than me, although they also are Aspies.
After watching the video a few times and pausing at places to take notes, I think that I am predominately a Numan-Carroll blend, with a dash of Einstein.
Numan because I find others hard to understand, am often misunderstood, I do not easily bond with others (not interested,really), and I space out (it's often more interesting inside my head than outside).
Carroll, in that I am introverted, calm on the outside while quite anxious on the inside, rather subdued and rarely am aggressive.
The Einstein dash is that I love ideas, concepts, words and grammar. I do not like to be a pedant, however, so I rarely argue with people about my interests.
This was really an interesting thread. Thank you to the original author!

I went ahead and transcribed it, in case you didn't feel like going through the video.

I think maybe I have some Einstein traits, with a bit of either Numan or Morissey.
Hard to say.

The Carroll type fits me to a T.
I had to think about this a lot but I finally think I figured it out.
I am a mix of three:
4. Numan Type
Daydreamer, often spaces out
Finds other people hard to understand
Finds they are very often misunderstood.
Has many dreams and plans
Finds it very, very hard to bond with people.
Possibly bipolar.
5. Morrissey Type
Fantasises a lot
Feels very seperarated from people
May have a schizophrenia diagnosis
Likes art and creativity especially, feels a connection with other times in history
Feels like a completely unique person on the inside

Very likely to be bullied in school, very rarely gets angry or aggressive.
The only with the last one I don't really agree with is that when frustrated I do tend to get a little aggressive.

On this, I guess I'm kind of weird in that I'm a combination of a lot of these, with the Einstein, Morrissey, and a straddling of both the diametrically opposed Warhol and Carroll types probably being the best description of me. Anyway, nice thread, thanks for putting it up.
