Wrong, wrong, wrong
Everyone with a blog seems to be going crazy for the Typealyzer, where you put in the website address and it tells you what personality the author has.
Fed by Birds, it claims, is written by type ESTP - The Doer: "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 have a problem with sitting still or remaining inactive for any period of time."
This couldn't be more wrong. There's absolutely no joking or action-filled work around here, and remaining inactive for long periods of time is not a problem.
Even more confusingly, when I ask it about my other site, it tells me I'm writing in Chinese (Simplified).

Heh. It got me wrong, too. It pegged me as ISTP, a "Mechanic". I think I'm a pretty textbook INTJ. Half-right, I suppose.
The one that tells your gender got me as a female, though. Pretty good for a reported success rate somewhere just a little above 50%.

I've just realised your frolics in the Chinese fields are on this site, Fed By Birds - so not such a logical explanation for the confusing translation

It got me totally wrong too.
It thinks I'd rather be outside, working hard at something. The very fact that I'm blogging should be a clue to the fact that I'm a lazy procrastinator who's idly playing with the internet rather than getting on with things in the real world.
Habitual work-avoider and lazy person who can spend happy hours reading and musing rather than doing any useful activity would be more accurate.
