If you're into MBTI typing (INFJ/ESTP/you know that test I'm always forcing on you?), here's a really different way to type yourself.

Go to this site, and plug in the address of your blog. It scores you based on analyzing what words you use in your writing.

I'm an INFJ, but I scored as ISFP.

ISFP - The Artists

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.


On one level that doesn't surprise me; I tend to use very descriptive language that probably makes me seem Sensory-oriented. I'm sensitive, I worry about things. The description certainly fits, lol.

In the community from which I got this test, it seems like no one scored as an Intuitive type. I wonder what words they have identified as Intuitive language?

I'm ISFJ, but it gave me ESFP.

This can't be an accurate test, since you write about whatever you want to write about, or write to be perceived in such a way, etc. I'm sure it can't take Private/Friends-Only posts into account.

It got 2/4 letters for both of us, so we can't yet say if it's better than randomly guessing or not. More research remains to be done!

Hm... I got the following... and, if i really think about it, this definitely is an aspect of my personality.

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.

Interesting. My blog (which is mostly friends-only) scored as an ISFP as well. My fiancé's photogrtaphy blog scored as an ESFP and he's an INFJ. They got the F right. :)

I'm usually an INTJ but this called me a ESTJ. Hm. I do wonder how it works because I'm not an E at all. I always score at least 90% I.

Interesting, I'm an ENFP but I got ESFP.

I do think this describes by *journal* though, since I too use a lot of sensory descriptive words. But it could also be that it doesn't detect "Intuitive"-type words, and maybe that's why that was the only difference.

I find the test itself to be inaccurate, so I guess any modification of its input would also be inaccurate.

It's fun though. :)

Hi! I found your page through the INFJ community and I'm an INFJ and decided to give this test a spin and entered a few of my poems just for fun and most of them were labeled as INTP or INTJ! I'm really curious as to why and to how this thing works, but anyway I got mine came off as intuitive and I'm not sure why. I'm really surprised they didn't come out as F.
