I was surfing blogs yesterday and came across a post about what that particular blog’s personality was. I have heard about personality tests for individuals (think Myers-Briggs) but I was curious to see what a “blog” personality was. So off I went to Typealyzer.com to check and see what personality my blog has and how it compares to my Myers-Briggs personality. I am attending a training this week and one of the prerequisites was to complete the Myers-Briggs test and to see what our personality type was. I am an ISTJ which is the same thing I was the last time I took the test over 10 years ago! I guess some things never change.
So over on Typealyzer you enter your blog web address and it skims your posts (or keywords or some other metric) and determines your posting personality. Your posting personality does not necessarily match your individual personality type which makes sense because you can “hide” behind a blog persona that is what you ideally would be like but for some reason you are holding yourself back in real life. So my blog personality is an ESTP. So two items are the same and two are the opposite.
ESTPs are “doers”.
The active and play-ful type. They are especially attuned to people and things around them and often full of energy, talking, joking and engaging in physical out-door activities.
The Doers are happiest with action-filled work which craves their full attention and focus. They might be very impulsive and more keen on starting something new than following it through. They might have a problem with sitting still or remaining inactive for any period of time.
I find it pretty interesting and a decent assessment of my blog. I tend to be fairly active in posting and tend not to let my blog sit unattended for long periods of time. I also tend to talk a lot about topics that interest me. I am guessing my health and exercise posts are what is giving me that out-doorsy trait because that is so not me in real life. LOL.
Check out your blog personality and let me know what you find out about your blog!
