Did you know that there are blog analyzers that purportedly offer insights into writing styles used in blogs?

Wonder how the BPL blog stacks up? Read on.

Note: I cannot vouch for the scientific veracity of these tools, so consider them shared for their entertainment value only.

Readability Test - Determines the grade level of the blog's writing. The BPL blog shows as being College Undergrad readability.

Blog Rating - The BPL blog is G Rated!

Genderanalyzer – Determines what sex you write like: Genderanalyzer thinks http://bplolinenews.blogspot.com/ is written by a man (81%). This must be from Hunter’s testosterone laden press releases :)

Typealyzer – provides a Myers-Briggs type analysis: The BPL Blog is an ESTP. (Considering what Genderanalyzer said I thought our blog might be an ESPN :)

According to Typealyzer, "ESTP - Doers are 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."
