I don’t know why you’re offended, Jack. You ARE a snarky blogger! That’s what makes you so much fun.

I’m not going to reveal my results. It’s too friggin’ embarassing!

On the topic of personality tests, (which I normally consider fun, and nothing more) you might be interested in the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) assessment, which is a “psychometric questionnaire” (*cough*wikipedia*cough*) that tests you on four dichotomies. In short, it uses your answers to seperate you in regards to different attitudes, functions, and lifestyles. The first dichotomy is Attitude: Introversion Vs Extroversion. The second, Function: Sensing Vs Intuition, the third, Function: Thinking Vs Feeling, and the fourth being Lifestyle: Judging Vs Perception.

Although I partially mention this simply because I think you might find it interesting (it is one of, if not the, only “Personality test” I’d even consider taking seriously) I will admit that a part of me is selfish when informing you of this assessment: since I have taken it (various times over a period of two months to ensure the accuracy/results) I find myself intrigued by this, and try to pigeonhole others into the types as well.

I have found that the explanations of the types (There are 16 each. 2 options per 4 dichotomies, 16) to be more than decently accurate — Although with only 16 types it’s accuracy is obviously limited. (Newer versions of the assessment have been made, but unlike the original MBTI, cannot be found for free online.)

The tests you’ll find online aren’t kept to any standard so the accuracy suffers even more, but some decent sites to take the test at are:

I always have a problem finishing these quizzes, and if I didn’t abandon them midway I would probably be classed as “short attention span” or “low boredom threshold”.

Don’t all bloggers think they’re hot though? If you were plagued by any “not hot” doubts then would you blog at all?
