when I first saw the light it was pink and amber
“The entertaining and friendly type. They are especially attuned to pleasure and beauty and like to fill their surroundings with soft fabrics, bright colors and sweet smells. They live in the present moment and don´t like to plan ahead – they are always in risk of exhausting themselves.”
That’s how La Cieca (as author of parterre.com) is analyzed at Typealizer. Your doyenne is deemed “The Performer” on the Myers-Briggs scale. Rather spookily accurate, don’t you think, cher public?
So, at the risk of exhausting herself, La Cieca also ran an analysis of Our Own JJ‘s style (specifically his current Gay City News review of La traviata) and it turns out that he is a “Scientist,” almost precisely the opposite of La Cieca. According to Typealizer, JJ is the “long-range thinking and individualistic type… especially good at looking at almost anything and figuring out a way of improving it – often with a highly creative and imaginative touch… intellectually curious and daring.” Which comes as no surprise to your old saloon-singing pal La Cieca!
sweet smells. Hmmm……….
I took several of them personality tests between careers. Turns out I’m best-suited to groom ocelots or be “a caregiver.”
I wanted to be an entertainer. I wanted to be a contender, instead of a bum. Let’s face it.
Maur got “The Performer,” too. Which twin has the Toni?
I heard those tests are what got Turandot into oncology.
So I took an online MBTI and found I’m “Field Marshall.” So, is someone ruefully singing “Heute nacht, habe ich von ihm geträumt”?
Einmal . . .
I wouldn’t take it too seriously. I tested out so INFP (“Idealist”) it’s embarrassing – I mean, I work for a labor union – but Typalizer read my blog and called me an ISTP (“Mechanic”) … “They are attracted to motorcycles, airplanes, sky diving, surfing, etc.”, but you couldn’t get me on a motorcycle at the point of a gun …
Is that one of the gowns that Harteros is wearing in the Met’s Traviata? Surely not from the original production.
Thanks for the review, JJ. What a luxury to be able to read such a detailed and informed account of a singer’s performance as you provided of Harteros.
I ran my blog through this process and it labeled me as one of “The Thinkers.” Part of the analysis read, “they might come across as…insensitive to people that need some time to understand what they are talking about.” And if you don’t get the connection, the hell with you all!
Simply brilliant, La Cieca!
