Out of curiosity, I decided to submit some sites to this test. Here are the results:<BR/><BR/>--Glenn Greenwald: Genius<BR/>--Nouriel Roubini: Genius<BR/>--Pol Culture (me): College (postgrad)<BR/>--Anglachel: College (undergraduate)<BR/>--Paul Krugman (blog): High school<BR/>--The New York Times: High school<BR/>--Daily Kos: High school<BR/>--The Daily Howler (Bob Somerby): Junior high school<BR/>--Historiann: Junior high school<BR/>--The New Yorker: Junior high school<BR/>--Atrios: Elementary school<BR/>--Americablog (John Aravosis): Elementary school<BR/><BR/>There are some shockers there. I mean, the Daily Kos is written at a higher intellectual level than <EM>The New Yorker</EM> or Historiann? Are they kidding? However, I do think they pegged John Aravosis just right.

So, the gender analyzer needs a lot more work, while the type analyzer is true to type as defined by MB. Actually, the gender analyzer probably should find something else to analyze. I'd love to know what their criteria are.

I've done the Meyers Briggs stuff a lot of times and have tested as an ISTP before, though on more detailed tests I was an INTP. Then I ran some of my fiction through it. ESFP and ISFP, depending on the piece. I kind of get that, because i like simple, sensory writing and hope that the larger issues are embedded in the work.<BR/><BR/>Gender-wise, the blog was 50/50, which sounds about right to me. I only tested one fiction excerpt (which had read ESFP on the type analyzer), and that came out 60% dude.<BR/><BR/>So does any of this mean anything?

However, virtually all of it is my translations of the cantos in Dante's <EM>Inferno</EM>. My rewriting the <EM>maestro</EM> in English must be feminizing him somehow. If you take <EM>Pol Culture</EM>'s score and do the math, Dante must have had at least a 96% masculinity factor in the original Italian.
