Just saw this over at
Heather's blog.
This little gadget analyses your writing style on your blog and tells you what "type" your writing style is, based on the Myers Briggs definitions. Apparently my style is an ISFP. Now, I feel a bit multiple personality when it comes to Myers Briggs anyway, because every time I've done it over the past few years I've been an INFP, and yet previously whenever I did it I always came out ENFJ. So who knows? Perhaps I am a depressed ENFJ. Perhaps I was always a latent INFP. It is a mystery. So it is no surprise that my writing style is different again :) I don't think anyone I know in real life would describe me as the "gentle type" although I am compassionate. And not a friend of many words? Hmm. Well, some days I go without saying a word to anybody, it is true, but I can also talk the hind leg off a chair, so I'm not sure about that.
I would be interested to hear what you guys get and what your thoughts are :)
ISFP - The Artists
The gentle and compassionate type. They are especially attuned their inner values and what other people need. They are not friends of many words and tend to take the worries of the world on their shoulders. They tend to follow the path of least resistance and have to look out not to be taken advantage of.
They often prefer working quietly, behind the scene as a part of a team. They tend to value their friends and family above what they do for a living.
Edit: I put in the URL of one of my archives for last November, and it gave me a different result, an INFP. Which is what I test as. So that is very interesting.
Of course, writing style is not the same as personality. The Typealizer forum on the net discusses this
here. A woman complains that she entered in eight blogs belonging to three people, and none of them ended up geting anywhere near what these people's actual real life personality types are. But of course, I guess it doesn't necessarily correlate. In my case, at least last November, it did, which is interesting.
