    INTP (5w4)

    Daniel Tammet personality type is INTP, which means he is an Introverted Thinker. He is also a savant, which means that although he has an excellent memory for facts, he has no innate ability to apply them in new ways. Since this is a book about how to learn faster, it was written for readers who are also savant-like, but it will also be of use to readers of all kinds.

    ISTPs are the masters of concrete detail and they feel most comfortable about one step removed from the experience, for example, “I’m going to play tennis on Sunday.” The rules of the game itself, the equipment and the routine of playing, are all things they can easily memorize.

    ATPs can remember the rules to a game and the names of all the players. They will also remember the best shot and the most effective strategy, but they will also remember that their strategy didn’t work and that their best shot wasn’t quite as good as they thought it was. This is a very natural and useful way to remember information, but not one that is very useful for learning something new.

    Daniel Tammet FRSA (born 31 January 1979) is an English essayist, novelist, poet, translator, and autistic savant. At age twenty-five, he was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome by Simon Baron-Cohen of the University of Cambridge Autism Research Centre. He is one of fewer than a hundred "prodigious savants" according to Darold Treffert, the world's leading researcher in the study of savant syndrome. He set the European record for reciting pi from memory to 22,514 digits in five hours and nine minutes on 14 March 2004.
