I have a little problem.  I'm addicted to Entrecard.  C'mon, I know I can't be the only one out there that's feeling this way, am I?  It's after midnight, and I've just finished my drops...  Like a guilty pleasure--I wait till everyone in the house is asleep and then I jump in...  I started out dropping 10 or 15 cards a day--then I added a second blog... Now I'm dropping on so many I can't keep track--and sites I never thought I'd visit; I'm bummed if there not in my inbox--voodoo sites, political dissenters, alcoholics, blogs that claim you can actually make money on the Internet, blogs that claim that you can't make money on the Internet...  So what's the addiction really about? It's those really cool bloggin' treasures out there waiting for me to find them.  There are more and more blogs that I want to visit daily--and it's fun to get to know people in a kind of incognito way... That is unless it takes more than 3 seconds to load your page--then I'm sorry, but I'll have to cut you from my list...

Tonight's cool find came from Rants, Thoughts, and Other Things.   There's a new site in beta that reads your personality through the words you've written on your blog.  Typealyzer.  Well, as the blog owner suggested, I gave it a try. 

I plugged in two of my blogs: this one and my teacher blog.  This blog came back as an ESFP--the performer--essentially and extroverted, sensing, feeling, perceptive style (seems to be based on the Meyers Briggs, which is based in Jungian theory), and I suppose is true to this blog's style.  But where it gets interesting for me is my teacher blog came back as an INTP--and introverted, intuitive, thinking, perceptive--which is what I tested as the last time I took the Meyers Briggs (16 different personality types). 

So in a way, I guess you could say there is some accuracy to it all...  Stop by Rants, Thoughts, and Other Things and check out his site--and stop by Typealyzer to find out what's the style of your blog--I'd love to hear back what style you are--I've always been interested in analyzing personality stuff!

Here's an INTP

The logical and analytical type. They are especially attuned to difficult creative and intellectual challenges and always look for something more complex to dig into. They are great at finding subtle connections between things and imagine far-reaching implications.

They enjoy working with complex things using a lot of concepts and imaginative models of reality. Since they are not very good at seeing and understanding the needs of other people, they might come across as arrogant, impatient and insensitive to people that need some time to understand what they are talking about. 

Here's an ESFP

The entertaining and friendly type. They are especially attuned to pleasure and beauty and like to fill their surroundings with soft fabrics, bright colors and sweet smells. They live in the present moment and don´t like to plan ahead - they are always in risk of exhausting themselves.

The enjoy work that makes them able to help other people in a concrete and visible way. They tend to avoid conflicts and rarely initiate confrontation - qualities that can make it hard for them in management positions.
