I frequently use PersonalityPage.com to assemble personality traits for characterization. The site is not organized for writers. In fact, the site navigation is poorly designed and pretty difficult to figure out. I had to poke around the site a bit to find the best pages there for characterization and how to use them. But having done so, I discovered that the content on those pages is perfect for writers trying to create characters.
The Personality Page revolves around Myers-Briggs typology, which numerous professionals have criticized as unscientific. This personality test basically just asks people what kind of personality they think they have and then regurgitates it back to them in a handy, scientific-sounding summary.

-Thinking/Feeling
-Perceiving/Judging
What surprised me was that it was really accurate. Every career I’ve ever considered was on the list for my type. O_O Which ... more

Have you ever wondered why you like some jobs and hated others? It could be that you have been in jobs that just don’t suit your personality type, therefore you struggle to find your ideal career.
In personality type, an extrovert usually is more sociable and prefers to work with others, so they could struggle if they had to work alone in an accounts department all day long, with just some log books to keep them company.
It’s also true that most introverts, who are more reserved... more
Most fiction is not worth reading, because 90% of everything is crap. This rule clearly applies to online fiction. Yet, I love to read a good story, and plenty of them are indeed published online. But it’s often hard to find them amongst the rest. Therefore, now wearing my editor’s cap, I present to you some online stories that I would categorize not -crap.

70 Days of Sweat, Round 3 begins tomorrow. I will not be participating. Just as I participate in neither NaNoWriMo nor NaNoEdMo . Why not? What do I have against writers trying to write a book? Nothing, except…
In my view, either I’m a writer, and I write consistently. Or I’m not a writer, and I don’t. Therefore, churning out a novel before the end of the day May 10, that exercise does not make me a writer. Just a few hundred words each and every day, that does ma... more
