It's Just My Type

by Peter Merchlewitz

The Baltimore Sun's Jay Hancock posted in his blog on November 25 that there is an HTML program called Typealyzer, which scans the text of a blog page, and analyzes the dominant words in the blog with a specific brain activity resulting in in learning styles, preferences and thought-processes of individual people.

Here's the analysis of my favorite blog, You Don"t Say:

The logical and analytical type. They are especially [sic] 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.

And here's what it says about The News About The News:

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.
