B sent me a link today to this cool site that does a Myers-Briggs evaluation of your blog. Here's what the Typealizer has to say about Fruit In My Dessert. I'm an artist!
I was shocked at first to find out that my ENFJ (Extroversion, iNtuition, Feeling, Judging) self writes a blog that is ISFP (Introversion, Sensing, Feeling, Perceiving). I have not done a complete analysis or review of what this really means, but I'm a big believer in this stuff and can make a quick assessment.
I do not write completely freely on my blog because I don't want to offend, irritate, or upset friends or family or others. In real life (as my closest loved ones and colleagues might mention) I have very little problem telling you exactly how I feel and how you are a part of that for better or worse. I also do a lot more fact-based and article-based talking on my blog, whereas in real life, I just tell you what I think about a topic or issue with no need to back it up with any real data, unless you make me. My blog world is more concrete than my real world has ever been, which would make my high school Physics teacher and soccer coach proud.
It appears the only element missing from my equation on both fronts is the big T - Thinking. Lucky (or not) for me, that doesn't actually mean I don't think. Instead:
As noted already, people who prefer thinking do not necessarily, in the everyday sense, 'think better' than their feeling counterparts; the opposite preference is considered an equally rational way of coming to decisions (and, in any case, the MBTI assessment is a measure of preference, not ability). Similarly, those who prefer feeling do not necessarily have 'better' emotional reactions than their thinking counterparts. (source: Wikipedia)
In other words, Kumbaya, dammit!
My ENTJ self apparently writes an ESTP blog. Thanks for the site!
