I have 3 active blogs and I apparently manage to write using a different personality type on each blog:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>This blog &#8212; my personal technical blog &#8212; pegs me as &#8220;INTJ &#8211; The Scientists&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/games.multimedia.cx\/\">My Gaming Pathology blog<\/a> &#8212; where I write about usually obscure video games &#8212; marks me as &#8220;ESTP &#8211; The Doers&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.adobe.com\/penguin.swf\/\">My corporate blog<\/a> &#8212; where I speak in fairly careful terms about what I do at my day job &#8212; earns me the distinction of &#8220;ENTJ &#8211; The Executives&#8221;.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I suppose all of those make sense. Each blog is written with a slightly different tone. This is in keeping with <a href=\"http:\/\/typealyzer.com\/?page_id=76\">the website&#8217;s explanation<\/a> that &#8220;This is about exploring social roles (or personas) that are expected to be different in different situations.&#8221; I think it&#8217;s frustrating that I have to write my corporate blog in an executive, often vacuous tone (and I know it frustrates the readers to no end as well); I would much prefer if it could lean toward &#8220;The Scientists&#8221; end of the personality inventory. Alas, it is not to be.<\/p>\n<p>I popped in a bunch of blogs I read but they all seem to learn toward certain areas of the brain chart. According to that chart, I don&#8217;t seem to read any blogs by people heavy in the sensing or feeling departments. I have a feeling that I wouldn&#8217;t be able to tolerate it. On a hunch, I plugged in the blog produced by the top Google search for &#8220;angsty teenager blog&#8221; &#8212; <a href=\"http:\/\/teenangstpoetry.blogspot.com\/\">Teen Angst Poetry<\/a>. That scores as &#8220;ISFP &#8211; The Artists&#8221;. Sure enough, I don&#8217;t think I would enjoy reading that blog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Personality diagnosis is not an exact science<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2206","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2206","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2206"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2206\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2209,"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2206\/revisions\/2209"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2206"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2206"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2206"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
