			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many of us working in the corporate world have taken the Myers-Briggs psychometric test at least once. For those who are not familiar with Myers-Briggs (M-B), it is a test designed to understand a person’s psychological preferences and the M-B assessment classifies a person into one among the 16 different personality types. These 16 types are based on the 4 preferences mentioned below. According the M-B’s <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.myersbriggs.org/my-mbti-personality-type/mbti-basics/"><strong>official website</strong></a>, the preferences are</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/xurble/376588066/"><img class="alignright" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 5px 10px; display: inline;" title="Question" src="http://indiaspecial.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/question.jpg" border="0" alt="Question" width="295" height="295" align="right" /></a> 1. Extraversion(E) or Introversion(I)</p>
<p>2. Sensing(S) or Intuition(N)</p>
<p>3. Thinking(T) or Feeling(F)</p>
<p>4. Judging(J) or Perceiving(P)</p>
<p>A personality type is a combination of the 4 preferences above. For example, one person’s personality type could be ENTJ and another could be ISFP. The details about these 16 types can be <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.myersbriggs.org/my-mbti-personality-type/mbti-basics/the-16-mbti-types.asp"><strong>found here</strong></a><strong>.</strong>You may find out your own personality type by visiting this<strong> </strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp"><strong>link</strong></a></p>
<p>M-B test has been quite popular in the corporate circles and is used in identifying an employee’s personality type and assigning tasks accordingly. Now, a website called<strong> </strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://typealyzer.com/"><strong>Typealyzer</strong></a> has come up with a new tool that determines the M-B personality type of a blogger. Unlike the real test where one is required to answer a series of questions, determining the blog personality type is quite easy. Submit the link of a person’s blog website to Typealyzer and voila! &#8211; you get the blogger’s personality type.</p>
<p>I personally found this website very interesting. After finding out my own “blog” personality type, I ventured into finding the “blog” personality types of IndiaSpecial’s most <a href="http://indiaspecial.net/readership-stats/"><strong>popular authors</strong></a> like Kandamangalam, Mukund, Nars and others in the list. I was surprised by the pattern I found. I don’t want to spoil the fun by revealing what I found. So, find out for yourselfJ.</p>
<p>It would be interesting to understand the implications of this new tool, Typealyzer. Will bloggers start writing differently? What do you think?</p>
