What does your blog say about you? Part II

Typealyzer.com apparently answers the question with a warning- your writing style may have nothing to do with your self perceived personality. When I last checked, this was the description typealyzer gave for my blog.

ISTP - The MechanicsThe independent and problem-solving type. They are especially attuned to the demands of the moment are masters of responding to challenges that arise spontaneously. They generally prefer to think things out for themselves and often avoid inter-personal conflicts.

The Mechanics enjoy working together with other independent and highly skilled people and often like seek fun and action both in their work and personal life. They enjoy adventure and risk such as in driving race cars or working as policemen and firefighters.

Now the same site gives this description.

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 in their own pace. They know what they have to do and how to do it.

I dont normally check out random sites which measures your love quotient, personality scores etc. But the endorsement of typealyzer was given by no less than Greg Mankiw the respected economist. But I could think of a few reasons for the change
  1. I've somehow changed and become less fun and more facts.
  2. I havent blogged enough for the site to give stable results (the difference between ISTP and ISTJ is just one letter)
  3. I've quoted too many people in the recent posts and it affects the results (analyzing their personality?), especially taken together with the second hypothesis.
May be its just good timepass. Check it out. Let me check if this post affects the results.
