What type are you?
Yesterday while reading the morning news, I ran into an article on Twitter about how our writing reveals our personalities. I thought it was cool, so I wrote a post about it and then asked you what you could discern about me from my writing. I was quite impressed how accurately my writing reveals my personality, though I have to say I am not surprised (see the comment section to the link above). Thanks for participating!
“CannedAm” wrote that she found the Typealyzer from the article. It’s a tool that determines your personality from your blog, much like the article I wrote about. She ran my blog through it and reported back that it came back as “The Scientists”. I quickly went to see the results for myself.
If you write online, check it out and tell us what you find. Is it accurate for you?
I was surprised to see what “The Scientists” meant. Here is what the Typealyzer says about my blog:
The long-range thinking and individualistic type. They are especially good at looking at almost anything and figuring out a way of improving it – often with a highly creative and imaginative touch. They are intellectually curious and daring, but might be physically hesitant to try new things.
The Scientists enjoy theoretical work that allows them to use their strong minds and bold creativity. Since they tend to be so abstract and theoretical in their communication they often have a problem communicating their visions to other people and need to learn patience and use concrete examples. Since they are extremely good at concentrating they often have no trouble working alone.
But more interesting is that it said I was an INTJ through my writing, though the website says writing style doesn’t always correlate to personality. But ironically, for me, it does, which was an even bigger kick. I am being true to myself when I write this blog. When I was much younger and at a job full-time, the company I worked for had their employees take the Briggs-Myers test and I scored out at an ENTJ. In reading both, I still think I am an ENTJ–with a slight blend of INTJ.
Just something silly and fun for the day. Now I am back to work!!
