Genderanalyzer

Apparently there are strong indications that I, the writer of this blog, am male. 95% even!

I wonder what algorithms they used to come up with this? (Go here if you want to work out your gender.)

It’s funny that I should do this this morning, as I’m getting DISCed today. I never know quite how seriously to take such assessments. I answer the questionnaires as honestly as I can, but sometimes the questions are hard to interpret. Also, what if I’m having an off day when I do one of these things?

I actually did DISC not long ago, when I was part of another team. I cannot remember what my “diagnosis” was at the time. Should I check? I wonder if my result today will be different.

I usually try not to think about them too much and just go along with the process. The results can be interesting, I guess, but I usually forget about them and just get on with things. Some years ago, for instance, I did the Myers-Briggs test (also at work), and was found to be an ISFJ. Apart from having mixed feelings at being in the same company as Mother Teresa and George Bush snr, I don’t know if I’ve done much with the analysis.

I’ve never heard of DISC?
I’ve done a couple of Myers-Briggs and I have moved over the years (just a little).
I used to have a wonderful document that listed all the MB personality types and then discussed what type of library you would best be suited to- it was a hoot! I must try and find it (altho not now!)

I’m 93% male, apparently. Maybe I need to write more about kittens and shoes.

I’m a male as well. I think I know where I have a copy of that Myers-Briggs article Kate was talking about if anybody would like me to drag it out. I got a copy at the 1st NLS where we did Myers-Briggs.
