dear Elyas, I think that is good that INTP matches iny our writing and the inventory— which is a far far longer disposition and inquiry. They say in shrinkdom that cohesiveness is a vital aspect of creativity… the organized core self matching not the content, but the underlying bones/ tone of one's creative work. I dont thinkthis locks a person however into those four functions in exactly that order. There may be circumstances where a journo writes against type, for instance, perhaps in a polemic, or in an eulogy. Not sure that's 'always' the case, but it seems that being able to move on the continuum of diferennt ways to see and hear and sense and relate, is more indemic to creative life than keeping to a narrows. If you experiment further, let us know!

dear Mikkel, it could be that its engine has a word count, for instance, that just 'tastes' an article. There's an interesting test called The Word Association Test that is related to what evolved from Jung's shematic on typological differences between people...that is, the Meyers Briggs Personality Inventory. THe Word Association Test can actually pinpoint hidden traumas/ disturbances to psyche, as in conflicts for instance, and secret hopes and happinesses (as well as known ones of course, lol)...

Did you' test' your last article? Did you thnk the roboshrink was accurate?

Dear StockBoySF, I am not sure, but wouldnt it be interesting if the roboshrink could analyse typology by recognizing syntax or lexicon of different people, journos and commenters. Tthere is if you go to the link I put in the piece, another link at the bottomof that page which will take you to the page of the fellow who put this test together. The answer to your question may be in his data there, or email him and my bet is he will reply to you. Let us know what you learn!

dear river, that… well… sputter, sputter. lol. That is very close. Deeply I, buried in N, a hair's difference between T, S, and F in the third place and a hair's different weight between J and P.

What this means, is that Lucy definitely wins the I-N (introverted intuitive) insight award of the uncanny-eerie-weird configurations of people's typologies.

hummmm. . . . Lucy told me that based on reading the post her analysis would be INJFJ for Dr. E. . . I and N both very strong. . .then with near balance on the F/T where sometimes the direction of the wind is the determinant although the scale finds rest in the F. . . and the P and J dance really beautiful together. . .5 cents please. . . .

My personal blog was also pegged as INTP (and that's what I got when I took the real test).

I realized that since all the authors have their own pages, you can go to the author section and test each individual.

I believe it actually only looks at the front page. It says this post is INTJ……I'm going to go out a wee bit and guess that Dr. E isn't actually an INTJ. Just a hunch.

Do you happen to know if this applies to the editorial staff who posts the articles, or does the analysis include the people who log onto the site and comment? It would be interesting to see if the posters' type differs from the commenters' type on the various websites.
