Barbara:

Arthur might be an NT (an intuitive-thinker type).  All his fanciful 
tinkering projects and his love of gadgets indicates an engineer's 
mindset.  Engineers are not always practical.  My aunt used say that it 
took her engineer stepson took hours to finish a simple plumbing 
project.  A healthy imagination and a drive for perfection sometimes 
get in the way of reality.  I know that in the past some on this list  
have suggested that NT personalities are unfeeling, and have labeled 
all the heartless, mean-spirited characters in HP as being an "NT."  
However, I think some of the good guys may be NT types, McGonagall, 
Arthur and perhaps Bill.   I work with a bunch of computer nerds, 
classic NTs, and many of them are nice, reasonable people who have 
feelings. Ironically, they are often the first to label someone else as 
mean (and rightfully so.)   The feeling types are usually more likely 
to make excuses for callous people. I might add too that being a 
feeling or "F" type doesn't mean that one is nice or kind. It just 
means that they make decisions based on feelings, and if the feeling 
are bitter, then watch out!
