What personality types generally perform better at maths?

I'm guessing the INTP or INTJ probably performs best.

some new fad on the internet. you take a quiz and get given a personality type.
In my experience people who don't post useless threads (such as this) generally perform better at maths.

They probably prefer employment in maths fields than coming up with new stuff themselves.

Computer Science is basically applied Maths tbh.
