I write my fiction in the first person, so that made this program much more interesting for me

My ISTJ character, type 5: written like Dan Brown/David Foster Wallace
My ESTP character, type 8: written like Stephen King/William Gibson
My ExFx character, type 3: written like Cory Doctorow/Arthur C. Clarke

This test is all over the place But if there's any consistent thing to learn from this, it's that my writing is blunt and no-frills.

Definitely a compliment, IMO... even though his writing style confuses the hell out of me, it's still fun to read

Also... this post is apparently like David Foster Wallace.

^Thanks EJCC.

I've never read anything of his but I looked him up.

I also got Gertrude Stein.

How many of you have put embarrassing or personal stuff in there just to see what happens?

 

[rav3n]

Didn't bother posting any serious attempts to write, just stuff posted in threads. Every post got a different result.

David Foster Wallace
J.K. Rowling
Dan Brown
Douglas Adams
Cory Doctorow
Stephen King

Analysis, I don't write too gud.

 

[Amethyst]

Haha, Arthur Clarke...not bad, not bad at all.

I was hoping I wouldn't get Stephanie Meyer...like, really hoping.

I don't think it's an option, because I wrote a paragraph summary of Twilight along with some 'derp's and 'lol's and chatspk, and I got Vladimir Nabokov.

 

[miss fortune]

Ian Fleming... for several different pieces... and nobody else got this result

 

[Jaguar]

I typed in this nonsense:

yeah baby yeah baby scooby dooby doo and open a can of old tuna!
The result was - Ursula K. Le Guin

 

[miss fortune]

an exceprt from the lyrics of "rapper's delight" got the result of Margret Mitchell

H. P. Lovecraft

Who do you write like?

According to this, call me David Foster Wallace.



EDIT: Did a couple more and also got Chuck Palahniuk and Margaret Atwood. Interesting trio.

 

[five sounds]

H. P. Lovecraft

EDIT: got him again, using prose instead of poetry. neat!

cool thing! i wish it would have given me a description of how my writing resembles his.

Ha, me too. Just copied in a recent blog post; nothing special, just how I normally write. I've read Infinite Jest... guess I can kind of see it, though, he's WAY more wordy than I. It's probably my combo of really casual words/phrasing intertwined with more formal analytical type words/phrases.

(But, I think he's totally Ne dom / Ne aux, whereas I have almost no Ne, haha)
