MBTI Temperament and ADD

[Jezebel]

I've seen ADD mentioned several times on this board. Tonight I happened to run across a site that examines the correlation between mbti personality type and attention deficit disorder:

That's pretty interesting...I always thought there may be a connection between iNtuitive types and ADD.

"Intuitives, which are in the minority, are more likely to appear inattentive because they spend a lot of time in their heads (and lose the car keys), they have a holistic and non-sequential learning style, and are easily bored."

That's me (especially the inattentive/bored part).

I think the J/P dimension is more important to ADD than the S/N trait. Any P can easily have ADD; hardly any Js have it. I think SPs tend to have hyperactive type ADD and NPs tend to have inattentive type ADD.

One would think that hyperactive ADD would be S while non-hyperative people with ADD would be N.

The "born to explore" website has a piece on the MBIT types. It seems that the MBIT codes are N and P or *N*Ps is common among ADHDers.

The ENxP are maybe the hyperactive ones.
I think the S, sensors, are less likely to be inattentive than the N, intuitives.

I am an INTP and have been diagnosed with ADHD combined type or hyperactive and inattentive.
