Inadvertently, Ian Kahn of LuxMentis has shamed me into a resumption of blogging. He mentioned my blog in a post, and my cheeks became inflamed at the idea that others may click through the link to my blog and find the last posting occurred in…May?? That’s embarrassing. How does Chris Lowenstein of Book Hunter’s Holiday do it consistently AND eloquently? Is it discipline? Hmm, must put that on my Christmas list.
Ian was having a bit of fun with a blog analyzing tool “Typealyzer“. I definitely don’t belong in the “Performer” category, especially as Chris Lowenstein is in there! (See aforementioned discipline).
Description of “The Performer”: 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. [Definitely Chris] 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.
No, I think I’m more of a “Mechanic”:
The independent and problem-solving type. They are especially attuned to the demands of the moment are masters of responding to challenges that arise spontaneously. They generelly prefer to think things out for themselves and often avoid inter-personal conflicts.
The Mechanics enjoy working together with other independent and highly skilled people and often like seek fun and action both in their work and personal life. They enjoy adventure and risk such as in driving race cars or working as policemen and firefighters.
Go plug in your own blog, or 2-3 of your favorites. Do the descriptions fit?
