We've been Typealyzed

This nifty new website called Typealyzer will analyze a blog and then tell you about the writers. We tried it with our site and expected it to come back with something like:

Damn, yo! These guys are honest to God surrealists. There is no limit to their surrealing!


Instead we got the following:

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.


Sort of right on... sort of. I'm not sure about the "pleasure and beauty" thing, we like some ugly art- maybe we've blogged a little bit too much about Catherine Deneuve as of late... also the "soft fabrics, bright colors and sweet smells" thing- makes it sound like we live in some sort of Sears commercial. And we don't. Our cramped L'apartment de surrealism is not too fancy...

But then the site offers something interesting, a chart of which part of our collective brains are being used when we write- in other words, the part of the brain that surrealism comes from.



Apparently it's the practical part.

Go figure.
