So I gave it my two main blogs:

  • This one: Typealyzer thinks I write like INTJ (“the Scientist”).
  • Make Your Own Video: Typealyzer thinks I write like ESFP (“the Performer”).

Given that these two assessments are diametrically opposite, either I am a sparkling literary chameleon or the whole process is a bit hokey.

I’ll leave you to decide.
