Spacetime anomaly in Herne Hill!

According to a Myers-Briggs blog analyser these postings are by an ESFP, aka The Performers type.

In a previous online test I scored as a ENTP, aka Mad Scientist type.

I wonder if it's because I only present a certain part of myself online? Am I deliberately on making posts of a frivolous, entertaining nature? I I being flippant at the expense of my intellectual side?



On a not entirely unrelated note, this evening I'm going to try and dye my (very dark) hair to blonde for a costume party tomorrow.

Another anomaly in Bristol.

It thinks that my LJ is in Filipino...

But if I put in the other version at http://www.beeblebear.net then it tells me that I'm an ESTP. Interesting, considering that I reliably test as INTJ, aka The Mastermind/Scientist/Strategist.

Clearly one of several things is going on here:

a) This analyser is crap
b) MBTI is crap
c) I have a radically different public face and inner self.

I'll go for a) or c), reserving judgement on b) until I've read more of the original papers. Or does that merely confirm my INTJ-ness? :)

My hair is reasonably dark, and to get it to a proper light blonde it has to be bleached twice or left for a very long time, or else it stops at orange. So you might want to buy a double lot of bleach.

Hm. I'm not totally convinced by the analyser, since pointing it at my journal but at differing-but-recent points through the archive seems to come up with a large proportion of the different MBTI types.

(And certainly displays both of the available options for each letter.)

Slightly more amusingly, the one type it didn't give me is INTJ - my "tested" type - and it tended to identify things about 67% 'E', 33% 'I'... despite my last MBTI test putting me as 'I' with 91% confidence!

Don't dye it! I sense a disaster approaching!

I got ESFP too, when I'm actually ENTP too. But I thought ENTP was the lawyer type, not mad scientist!
