Following Janet, I decided to check to see what my “blog personality type” was supposed to be according to Typealyzer. Apparently, it (and hence, I suppose, the person who writes it) is of type ISTP – The Mechanics:
The independent and problem-solving type. They are especially attuned to the demands of the moment are masters of responding to challenges that arise spontaneously. They generally prefer to think things out for themselves and often avoid inter-personal conflicts.
The Mechanics enjoy working together with other independent and highly skilled people and often like seek fun and action both in their work and personal life. They enjoy adventure and risk such as in driving race cars or working as policemen and firefighters.
Aw shucks. You flatterer, you. (Wow, and they even got my overalls and hairdo right too!)
Then there was some sort of fanciful brain diagram, showing where things are on the axes of thinker/feeler, idealist/practical (I’m not convinced those are really opposites, but anyway…):
Silly? Probably. But all for a good bit of quick Friday fun. What does Typealyzer say about your blog?

Dialogos of Eide is a INTJ – The Scientists-
See what effect you scientists can have on a layperson?
But I am truly surprised given the mathematical arena you work in Clifford that it would be overshadowed more by the mechanic rather then the scientist. A more hands on a approach then(?)to transmittal of knowledge rather then working to understand the reality?( which again seems wrong to me)while agreeing “that such help to distribute knowledge” is inclined mechanically pointing toward the dominant portion of appearance as a seasoned teacher.
Best,
ESTP – The Doers
and they got the picture pretty close too!
Where’s the J in the above diagram?! Or is that just for an ISTP? Can’t be, there’s the N, too.
Well, there I go, being the ESTJ I am! 😎 (Note there’s lots in the library literature about MB Types; mostly Is, not surprisingly.) I think scientists tends toward I as well. So why am I a librarian who likes scientists?! Perhaps an opposites thing….
I also was typed as an ISTP, at The First Excited State. I don’t know what algorithm they use here, but I usually am an INTJ on these type of tests.
Also… “likes to work together with other independent people”…? Isn’t that self-contradictory?
Some others:
Louise Riofrio = INTJ – The Scientists
Carl Brannen = INTP – The Thinkers
Lubos Motl = INTP – The Thinkers
Apparently I’m a Duty Fulfiller = ISTJ (although I know I’m an INTJ by personality type). Apparently we like to get the facts right, and to do things alone and at our own pace.
thequantumpoet – ESTP – The Doers.
cosmic variance – INTP – The Thinkers
pharyngula – ISTP – The Mechanics
bad astronomy – ESTP – The Doers
cheers, astromcnaught
Ps. get your hair cut 🙂
Heh. Fun.
Apparently my blog indicates that I am of the type INTP.
Pretty much fits, but… Wow, really? I thought I was good at seeing and understanding the needs of other people… oh well.
