Watson knows me

porsupah mentioned this writing-analysis test from IBM's Watson.  I fed it my Mass. trip report '14 and it said:

You are inner-directed

When I fed it the essay "Three Mighty Wrecks", I got:

You are inner-directed, analytical and rational.

You are independent: you have a strong desire to have time to yourself. You are calm-seeking: you prefer activities that are quiet, calm, and safe. And you are self-assured: you tend to feel calm and self-assured.

Your choices are driven by a desire for revelry.

You are relatively unconcerned with both achieving success and taking pleasure in life. You make decisions with little regard for how they show off your talents. And you prefer activities with a purpose greater than just personal enjoyment.

When I fed it the essay "Progress Perverted", I got:

You are a bit compulsive, guarded and skeptical

I'm rather fixated on the fact that Watson apparently doesn't know how to spell 'extroversion'.

What do they say instead?

'Extraversion'. Not a terribly uncommon mis-spelling - I've seen it often before - but it's not a mistake I'd think an AI computer would make.
