Blog Personality Type

The analysis indicates that the author of http://archiespeaksout.blogspot.com/ is of the type:

ISTJ - The Duty Fulfillers




















The responsible and hardworking type. They are especially attuned to the details of life and are careful about getting the facts right. Conservative by nature they are often reluctant to take any risks whatsoever. The Duty Fulfillers are happy to be let alone and to be able to work int heir own pace. They know what they have to do and how to do it.

I am not sure if I agree. My blog personality for my other blog, Mum's the Word, is different. Can that be possible? Do I have a dual personality? :) Anyway, check out your blog personality at Typealyzer.

Hey Archie this is fun. My profile is INTJ - The Scientists. :)

I was reading up the discussion around the product. It's an interesting concept. This can be extended to evaluating the personality types of web users. This can become an input for us when we do research about understanding learners and their needs.

Most of existing tools like MBTI and Myers and Briggs personality types I think are dated and need to evolve to be of use for personalities in today's digital era.

Geeta, do share links on the discussion. Curious to know what is being said.

My question may be answered in this discussion you mentioned, but still: is writing style sufficient to identify a personality type?

The links are on Typealyzer's home page:

Just writing style alone may not be sufficient, but it can be one of the key inputs while analyzing learner types.

Thanks for sharing the links, Geeta :)I am a little skeptical only because I got two different personality styles for my blogs. But that could be because my other blog is less formal and has more humor in it. So it is a different aspect of my personality. (do I sound confused?)
It may be interesting to use this information combine with other research like the information we already get from our learner analysis or other personality tests.

'... a crap creature' Interesting choice of words. You could be right or wrong. So continue believing till you believe otherwise. :) btw thanks for your response.
