Like a ferret
A recent research article indicates that people’s blogs correlate with their personality type, at least in the choice of words used.
Mattias Östmar has independently developed Typealizer, which analyses the contents of blogs and determines their personality type. This is the analysis of Pointless Anecdotes:
I recognise the character, but it’s not me—Honey, you have taken over the blog…and I love you for that!

ESTP - The Doers
The active and playful type. They are especially attuned to people and things around them and often full of energy, talking, joking and engaging in physical out-door activities.
The Doers are happiest with action-filled work which craves their full attention and focus. They might be very impulsive and more keen on starting something new than following it through. They might have a problem with sitting still or remaining inactive for any period of time.

Political plots
Michael Shermer gave in the latest Scientific American a link to Yourmorals.org, a site with heaps of questionnaires intended to explore one's standing on morals.
This particular questionnaire builds on the idea that one can use five factors to explain people's political leanings. Apparently I don't quite match the typical (presumably US) “liberal”, which shouldn't be too surprising. Strange though, that my values decrease by exactly unity for each factor. I suspect the values may suffer from considerable quantization effects.
Another item of interest is that about six times as many “liberals” as “conservatives” have filled in the questionnaire, it suggests some major skewing in who finds out about surveys like this and/or who finds them interesting.

Light coming on
Once upon a time I did the IQ test at tickle.com and got a reasonably good result. I then followed it up by doing the EQ test in which I bombed completely—I couldn't even understand the questions, or to be more precise, I couldn't understand how to answer the questions with the given alternatives. Typically a question would describe a person behaving in a certain manner, and the alternatives would require me to explain why. This was patently impossible from the given information, so I was forced to just select random responses.
I told Honeybuns about this and she explained to me that the point was to answer the questions in such a way as to interpret the behaviour of the posited person in as positive light as possible. The truth of the matter was irrelevant. Oh. No wonder engineers score badly on such tests, being trained to find out the truth rather than making up the most pleasing alternative.
I will now have to mull this over.

Still un(der)determined
An earlier test indicated I was gender neutral. Now I did Mike On Ads' gender test based on web browser history and got the result:
Likelihood of you being FEMALE is 50%
Likelihood of you being MALE is 50%
Interestingly enough in this case the result seems to be due to the sites I normally visit not being in the statistics database used, so again I'm simply a different kind of weirdo.

Actually, I think we will end up in the future regardless of what I do
You scored as Scientific Atheist, These guys rule. They know the rules of debate, the Laws of Thermodynamics, and can explain evolution in fifty words or less. More concerned with how things ARE than how they should be, these are the people who will bring us into the future.

Lack of characteristics
My lack of personality is pervasive, I did the gender test at Transtukipiste and was deemed gender neutral.
Olet sukupuolineutraali eli sukupuolisesti sitoutumaton. Et pidä meteliä sukupuolesta, etkä tuo omaa sukupuoltasi mitenkään erityisesti esille. Persoonaasi ei hallitse eikä määritä vahvasti sen enempää mieheys kuin naiseuskaan Sukupuoleen liittyvässä itseilmaisussa olet melko pidättyväinen - jopa sukupuolipihtailija. Tiedostat sukupuolijärjestelmän olemassaolon ja otat siihen mielellään etäisyyttä ja toimit yksilöllisesti, etkä sukupuolimäärittyneesti. Et aina ymmärrä, miksi monet muut ihmiset pitävät sukupuolesta niin kovasti meteliä ja antavat sukupuolensa ohjailla toimintaansa.
Olet hyvin vahvasti sitoutumaton kumpaankaan sukupuoleen- jopa sukupuolipakoilija.
