What’s Your Blogging Personality?

First things first, if you’re looking for my Box ‘O Books Holiday Give-Away, scroll down.

Second things second… Ever taken a Myers-Briggs or other personality quiz? How accurate do you find them? According to every version of Myers-Briggs I’ve taken, I’m an INFJ, which is pretty darn accurate. But now, look, you can ID your blog personality, too!  I found the Typealyzer courtesy of Marilyn Brant’s blog, who found it courtesy of Jenny Crusie’s blog.

According to the Typealyzer, the author of Muse Interrupted(which some might say is me, while others ascertain that it’s Elle Muse) is a “Doer.” Here’s the blippy, complete with a cute illustration:

ESTP – The Doers

The active and playful type. They are especially attuned to people and things around them and often full of energy, talking, joking and engaging in physical outdoor activities.

The Doers are happiest with action-filled work which craves their full attention and focus. They might be very impulsive and more keen on starting something new than following it through. They might have a problem with sitting still or remaining inactive for any period of time.

Hmmm, okay, this is sort of me, if you count sitting at a desk and playing with your pen as “action-filled work,” although I can’t say I’ve engaged in physical outdoor activities on purpose since I was a child. As a child, yes, I was outside all the time, and I considered myself a tomboy until I began to participate in team sports and discovered that I possess no physical coordination whatsoever. Once, after getting hit in the face with a softball, I struck out something like 30 times in a row at softball practice. The coach thought he could outlast my fear! Silly man. Let me state here, though, that I didn’t strike out out of fear, I struck out out of crappy hand-eye coordination. The crappy hand-eye coordination was the same reason I didn’t catch the ground ball that smacked my glasses.

As for that picture of the little girl…she looks like me as a kid, except I didn’t have boobs when I was 7! I barely had boobs when I was 17. Is it just me, or does she possess a rather curvy upper body compared to her face and height?

So, what’s your blogging personality? Plug your blog URL into the Typealyzer website and find out. Then report back to me. Because I just can’t sit still until I know!

By the way, for those interested, Jennifer Crusie is a Doer and Marilyn Brant is an Artist.

I'm irritated because my posts won't publish.

  1. A guy must have drawn the pictures. A disturbed guy.

    I’m an INFJ in non-blogging life. The test said I’m an ISFJ, a Nurturer. Three friends just had books out, and my last blog was about them. I’m sure they analyzed just the one blog.

  2. Hey, Edie, at least your blog test came close to your non-blogging MB, LOL.

    INFJs are supposed to be rare, yet a great majority of the writers I meet are INFJs. However, writers are oddballs… 😉

    Apparently, my blogging personality is not an introvert, but I am. A lot of people don’t believe that about me, but, as an introvert, I learned at a very early age how to compensate.

  3. Oh, BTW, if anyone checked out Susan Lyons’s blogging date yesterday and saw it was December 9th, it’s changed to December 10th. So, no, your eyes aren’t deceiving you. I edited yesterday’s post.

  4. I’m a DOER too – and with the exception with the loads of energy thing, yeah, it pretty much fits. My job at the library is super busy and I just love it!

    And I agree, there’s something not quite right about that sketch!
