@Internet Strategist – we bloggers definitely have a wide range of subject areas, don’t we. Interested in something, I’m sure there’s a blog about it somewhere. And thanks for the links, I’ll check those out.

@Debbie – Hi Debbie, nice to see you here. It is interesting, isn’t it. As I’m sure you’re aware, there are so many different tests out there which test something different. Problem is, there are so many different ones I can never remember which is for what. hehe

I took the test and got the the end and it to view selected type and it won't come up. However, I work for a company who has this very premise, so I already know my personality even if it's not listed in exactly the same manner. This is very intriguing to me.

You will find that thinkers and bloggers often test as INTP, INTF or something similar. I know this because I test borderline between those two. We tend to be wordsmiths with opinions on a wide range of subjects. It would make sense to create sites for types of personalities; however, I suspect it would be quite challenging to know that much about your visitors. You may be interested in reading the Eisenberg's books Call to Action and Still Waiting for Your Cat to Bark. Their suggestion that sites create paths for various personas is similar to the idea you express here. You'll find the authors and information on the books at GrokDotCom.com, FutureNowInc.com and CatToBark.com.

Hi Jason. Glad you found it useful. The key to developing a great landing page is understanding your customers and what they are looking for and what they are not.

Excellent post and some great insights on using Myers-Briggs to figure out your readers. I'm going to give this some serious thought for my sites. Cheers Jason's last blog post..How a Colon Cleanse can Improve your Weight Loss

@ Tony – ah, gotcha I didn’t realize that about the stats. And you’re right about your site, it needs to do it’s job, otherwise it’s fired, right?

@ Barbara – I hear ya, Barbara. I remember reading your post about how you were going to cut back some. It’s a tough job posting 5 times a week and running a business at the same time. It might be a bit easier if your only business was blogging. But then again, even if you’re a full time blogger it’s good to have some kind of cornerstone product.

Sorry too that I might not visit your blog as much this week and next, I’ve got lots to do – but I’m sure you understand that!

Hi John - What a fascinating test. I've heard of this before but didn't know it was online. Cool. I hear you about reducing your posting. This week I cut out one day. We'll see what happens, but so far I feel like I'm getting semi caught up on visiting some of my favorite blogs.

Yes, I use Analytics. I hadn’t heard of Clicktale, but I’ve used CrazyEgg for the HeatMap kind of look-see.

You are probably right about the Asian tech factor but you may have misunderstood the Quantcast stats: I have a high percentage of Asians compared to other sites. The actual percentage is only 14% or so. So no, it doesn’t mean that most are Asian American, rather 70% are Caucasian.

Anyway, all these stats are good for something. But as I said to someone else today, the real measure is whether or not your site is doing what you want it to do. My site brings me consulting business, ad income and e-book sales. It’s doing its job.

That doesn’t mean I can’t help it do a better job by understanding my visitors better, of course. I’m always working at that.
