From their FAQs:
How does it work?So of course, I had to run all the blogs I read through the typealyzer.
For a long period of time, we have been training our system to recognize texts that characterize the different types. The system, typealyzer, can now by itself find features that distinguishes one type from another. When all features, words and sentences, are combined typealyzer is able to guess which type its is most likely to be written by using statistical analysis.
Oddly enough, SVP comes out as ISTP, even though Mary and I are both INFJs. However, our purpose on this blog is to give concrete, practical information so that makes sense. (Well, except for the race car and firefighter part.)
ISTP - The Mechanics
The independent and problem-solving type. They are especially attuned to the demands of the moment are masters of responding to challenges that arise spontaneously. They generelly prefer to think things out for themselves and often avoid inter-personal conflicts.
The Mechanics enjoy working together with other independent and highly skilled people and often like seek fun and action both in their work and personal life. They enjoy adventure and risk such as in driving race cars or working as policemen and firefighters.

My personal blog also comes out as an ISTP.
OTOH, Mary's personal blog, is typed as THE PERFORMER, which pretty much nails her (which anyone who has ever seen her house can attest to.)
ESFP - The Performers
The entertaining and friendly type. They are especially attuned to pleasure and beauty and like to fill their surroundings with soft fabrics, bright colors and sweet smells. They live in the present moment and don´t like to plan ahead - they are always in risk of exhausting themselves.
The enjoy work that makes them able to help other people in a concrete and visible way. They tend to avoid conflicts and rarely initiate confrontation - qualities that can make it hard for them in management positions.

My blog also came out as an ISTP (a Mechanic") and I'm an INFJ too. Wow--I guess great minds score alike, huh? ;-)
Thanks for sharing this--how fun!

So many INFJs! I was under the impression that I was in the minority. Maybe we're all writers. Makes perfect sense.
I'll have to run my blog to see what happens.
Here it is: ISTP, Mechanic.
Hmm. A pattern here?
I came out as The Performer too. Hmmmm... Don't know about that.
I scored as ISTP too. When I actually took the Myers Briggs some years ago, I was an INTP, and the N was very strong. Interesting that so many are coming out as ISTP. I think that one fallacy of this program is that our blogs, in many cases, represent a constructed persona, a face we choose to present to the world, and don't always show our true personality, or at least not fully.
My blog came out as ISTP, and I'm an INFJ. I thought my blog would come out on the side of entertainment, but there's so much FYI material that perhaps the assessment fits. Hmmm.
My blog scored as ISFP, but I walk the line between INTJ and INFJ, depending on the day.
I JUST did this--got the entertainer for my livejournal blog and the thinker for my newer, wordpress one.
Definitely fun!
They gave my blog the ESFP type, too. When I took the Myers-Briggs test a couple of years ago I was INTJ, which I think fits me a bit better.
Apparently, my blog is more gregarious than I am.
My blog is a Performer. The second paragraph is definitely true in my case.
I'm an INFJ, but my blog came out ISTP. However, my older blog, with more rambling and less advice, was ISFP, The Artist, which is closer to my type.
"The gentle and compassionate type. They are especially attuned their inner values and what other people need. They are not friends of many words and tend to take the worries of the world on their shoulders. They tend to follow the path of least resistance and have to look out not to be taken advantage of.
They often prefer working quietly, behind the scene as a part of a team. They tend to value their friends and family above what they do for a living."
My blog is also a Performer. Part of the description fits me, but not all of it. I think it may have something to do with all my posts about getting together with friends; I figure that's more exciting than blogging my writing--or lack of it.
BTW, I've nominated your blog for an award. Please check out my blog for details.
ESTP - The Doer, for BOTH that I write for and tried - interesting...

This was fun! Thanks for sharing.
Fun post, Mary!
My blog type fell under the ESTP - The Doers category. And considering that I’m a hyper prankster, I’d say it was right on. Heh.
ISTP, Mechanic.
No wonder I'm a devoted reader of SVP.
I've taken Myers-Briggs twice, and my score changed on the S/N and T/F scales, where I'm not strongly on one side or the other. But I'm strong J and, unsurprisingly, strong I.
I'm the ESFP- The Performer - and in "real life" I'm definitely an INFJ. I attribute the difference to a rich inner life as an ESFP. Does that mean I'm bridging on some sort of personality disorder?? Let's not think about that! Anyway, this was great fun; I love to analyze things and the diagram of the brain at the bottom of the results page intrigued me. Thanks.
My personal blog http://savanvleck.wordpress.com was the ESFP. I am so glad to hear it is entertaining because, while I have readers, I must receive the least comments of any blog on the biosphere.
My writing blog http://savanvleck.blogspot.com was ISTP - And, I do like to think things out for myself except I am getting a bit overwhelmed with FaceBook, MySpace and Twitter.
Are they just going to keep starting new things that we need to join to reach a market? Because, I'm having trouble keeping up with that. My brain is reaching explosion velocity here.
This is fascinating! Performer? Moi? I'd be good with it IF ONLY I could change the outfit and hair on that
Performer chick. SO not working for me. Don't even get me started on the Mechanic.
Fun to hear from so many new people and so many INFJs? WOW! We could start a world-wide revolution of some sorts here.
:-)

My blog tested as an ISTP, probably because I love hiking and motorcycles. :) But on Myers-Briggs, I always test as either INTJ or INTP, depending on the day.
My blog came out ISTP, like this one, when I'm a clear INTJ. Go figure! I bet the difference comes out in the personas we are privately versus our public blogging personas. What a cool test! ~Cheryl
My blog also got ISTP, though when I've taken the test in the past, I got ENFP. Big difference! Thanks for a fun diversion. :)
First of all, welcome to all the new posters!
And how interesting that SO many of us are INFJs.
Kim Baker said: Apparently, my blog is more gregarious than I am.
And you know, I think that's it in a nutshell. We are aware that our blog is meant to be read by others, we need to give them some reason to come back, whether it's concrete information, a fun time, or a place where they'll feel welcome. When blogging, us introverts roll out the welcome wagon, big time!
Well I've discovered my blog has different personalities on different days....on the days I post poetry the test says I am an Artist, and on the days i post about the books biz I am a Mechanic:)
