What Kind Of Blog Are You?

This morning, Jane Wells' Funny Business blog on cnbc.com asked a question: What Kind Of Blog Are You? In it, she introduces the Typealyzer, a device designed to to figure out the persona of a blogger based on a blog's writing style. I was intrigued, and in short order found out that I was in a group known as "The Performers":
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.

They 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.

Oh, and I can't forget the screenshot of my brain-mapping (amazing what they can do with electrodes and USB Ports these days)

How interesting! In my eyes, this lends credence to the theory that blogs can be an expressive outlet that releases thoughts and feelings that would otherwise be cooped up. Clearly, this blog plays into my aesthetic and fun-loving sides and hits a home run with my need for order and detail, which comes through particularly strong in my collecting. As someone who puts on this blog purely for my own enjoyment and to provide useful information to the world, I hope that this blog comes off as fun-loving and enjoyable as my Typealyzer results suggest.

So, I pass the question on... What Kind Of Blog Are You?

UPDATE
They can analyze your Sport Type as well, and I am classified as an "Artisan" which means that I love Motor Sports, Football, Boxing and other sports that "get the adrenaline pumping".

Huh? Analytical Fail. Does this cast into doubt my persona type? Or, are they dead on but fail to understand that baseball gets my adrenaline pumping more than any of those other sports because of all of the high-pressure situations that accompany a game with no clock?
