Michael Haislip at Michael Haislip Helps You Make Money Online has conducted an interesting and kind of fun experiment.
Michael asked eleven bloggers to take a Myers-Briggs Type personality test, then he observed their blogs to see how their personality played out through their blogging.
While Michael admits that it’s an unscientific project, the results of his study are interesting for several reasons. First, you get to find out the personality type of other bloggers (if you haven’t been able to guess). Second, it’s interesting to see how bloggers within the same and different personality types handle their blogs.
Bloggers included in the study were:
- Michael from Faisca’s Corner
- Michelle from Bloggrrl
- Ray from FreshBlogger
- Julie Anne Bonner from JulieAnnBonner.com
- Steve from SteveOlson.com
- Lisa from Work at Home Mom Revolution
- Charlene from Essential Keystrokes
- ispf over at Grad Money Matters
- Jennifer from Broke-Ass Student
- Aaron from The Mad Hat
- Me
Want to get in on the study? You still can. Michael is asking that bloggers post their results in the comments of his original post.Contents (c) Copyright 2007, Laura Spencer. All rights reserved.

You and I are the same type! Interesting because we’re both writers (well, I’m not sure if I can call myself a writer just yet, but I’m working on getting there).
I’m glad that you were included in the study, because I really like what you have going on over here. I’m always on the lookout for new writing blogs, and yours is a great one.

It’s also pretty interesting that we both have the same personality type and we both use the same WordPress theme =P

Faisca–Your blog shows that you have a great deal of writing skill. Our themes ARE very similar, you even used the blue. I haven’t seen too many themes like it.
Hi Mdy! I hope that you enjoyed it.

Hi Jeanne! Yes, I think that it was a very innovative and creative thing to do. I wouldn’t have thought about it.
