Big 5 personality test (I'm more extroverted in verse than in critical prose)
It's been a while since I posted anything other than book reviews here, but drwex posted his result of a personality test based on his writing, so I'll post mine. You can take the same test here: https://watson-pi-demo.mybluemix.net/
I did the test four times, first with excerpts from my narrative and dramatic poems, second with excerpts from my lyrical and some narrative and dramatic poems, third with my most recent New York Journal of Books book reviews, and fourth with my addenda to those book reviews published in examiner.com Results are behind the cut:
First, excerpts from my narrative and dramatic poems:
You are heartfelt and somewhat insensitive.
You are confident: you are hard to embarrass and are self-confident most of the time. You are laid-back: you appreciate a relaxed pace in life. And you are proud: you hold yourself in high regard, satisfied with who you are.
Experiences that give a sense of sophistication hold some appeal to you.
You are relatively unconcerned with both independence and taking pleasure in life. You welcome when others direct your activities for you. And you prefer activities with a purpose greater than just personal enjoyment.
