Pat and Jeff have run their blogs through Typealyzer, an interesting little site that applies a Myers-Briggs personality test to a URL you give it. (The cynic in me thinks it picks four letters at random.) So aiming it at Tuesday Night we discover that it is an ESTP – The Doers. As Typealyzer says:
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.
It is that last sentence that brings us to our Yiddish word of the day: shpilkes. Shpilkes, as wikipedia reads, is
upset stomach, or simply nervous energy; to be feeling “antsy”, to be “sitting on pins and needles.” Cf. Polish szpilka, “pin”
My family always used it to refer to a kid (often me – see nudnick) who was antsy and couldn’t still.
As for the analysis, I can see how Tuesday Night would be seen as an ESTP. For those very few of you out there who have actually worked with me in a office/cubicle setting, you know that I really can’t sit still for huge amounts of time. (Unless I am coding, but that’s a whole different, in the zone, kind of thing.) The E (as is in extrovert) is the most interesting to me. When I have taken Myers-Briggs tests, I have come out as an ISTP, an introvert. I remember being 50-50 on extrovert versus introvert scale.
Well apparently, Tuesday Night needs to know go outside, crack a joke, and fidget a bit.
LOL – reprobates is an ESTP too!
Nudnick,really? I would’ve thought mench would be better.
All good mench start as nudnicks.
