Who Knew - I'm a Mechanic...

Typeanlyzer apparently "reads" your blog and tells you your "type". I'm "The Mechanics":

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.

Hmmmm....bookselling=driving race cars?!?! Seems silly. I'm going back to my game of blindfolded lawn darts. [Thanks to Wonkette].

Oh, wait, it occurs to me that one could drop *others'" blogs in. Let's see:

Brian Cassidy - "The Doers":

The active and play-ful 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.

Joyce Godsey, grand dame of Bibliophile Bullpen - another "Doer" [see above]

JBD of Philobilos fame - The Duty Fulfillers:

The responsible and hardworking type. They are especially attuned to the details of life and are careful about getting the facts right. Conservative by nature they are often reluctant to take any risks whatsoever.

The Duty Fulfillers are happy to be let alone and to be able to work int heir own pace. They know what they have to do and how to do it.

Forrest Proper over at FoggyGates - The Preformers [Also falling here is Jeanne Jarzombek aka Book Prowler AND Chris Lowenstein aka Book Hunter's Holiday]

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.

OK...that is all the time I have for this frivolity. The real question is, what type are *you*? Well, that and, "does it actually mean anything and do we care..."...

[Updated to correct BP vs BHH confusion...my punishment for typing faster than I think...interesting that it was Performers, just the same...]
