I thought this was pretty cool.

Enter a snippet of text, and it will analyze the personality traits of the writer. It's still a demo but I find it fascinating.
Individual readings can vary a lot, so I've found the best way to do it is to run multiple samples of your writing and look for patterns.
Common traits for me are melancholy, compulsiveness, intermittent, and a strong desire for challenge or prestige.
Here's a breakdown on me based on this post.

Here's a breakdown on me based on this post.
You are a bit compulsive, somewhat critical and shrewd.
You are intermittent: you have a hard time sticking with difficult tasks for a long period of time. You are unstructured: you do not make a lot of time for organization in your daily life. And you are laid-back: you appreciate a relaxed pace in life.
Your choices are driven by a desire for prestige.
You are relatively unconcerned with tradition: you care more about making your own path than following what others have done. You consider independence to guide a large part of what you do: you like to set your own goals to decide how to best achieve them.

Oh this is fun. I gave it a post, 2 reviews and some of my work offsite, and it seems I'm a ittle fickle. Because I go from this
to this

LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

I think this test might just be a pile of bullshit? It only had to answer "yes" or "no" about different traits about me and still managed to get them wrong more than 50% of the time.
I put in every article, review and blog post I've ever written all at once, because although 100 words is the bare minimum the program will allow without erroring, 4500 words is the recommended minimum according to the documentation, and 25000 words is necessary to have a 90% accuracy rating. I put in about 19000 words, which is a lot of words, and I couldn't tell any difference between the percentages they listed for me and a random number generator. But even if it did work, I don't think you'd get meaningful data from your one forum post, Solitayre.

I gave it 28000-ish words. It came back with this.
I guess I'm somewhat shrewd, but I'm not inconsiderate... at least I don't think I am :/
No, lol. Anything but! I'm a crazy man who strives for goals with huge ambitions. Sometimes I even hate being relaxed. I tend to nearly always feel the need to be stimulated. :S
Now that's true. I can't gam mak for what seems to be more than half and hour nowadays, I get distracted so easily.
Not sure what that means, but okay.
Yeah, that's pretty much me.
So some parts of the analysis ring true, but others really don't. I'm not sure what you could garner from a machine analysing how you write, or at least with today's technology. Perhaps in the future a tool like this could be more reliable, but 90% accurate? I doubt it.

I already know that my writing style is what would happen if Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett ever had a baby.
So, I passed, like, all my entries from my creative writing thread into the text-box. I got back...
...that. For the most part, I can agree with this assessment. I wouldn't say that I'm assertive, tend to speak up, or am comfortable taking the lead, though.

trololol I put in an excerpt from a graphic novel I'd been chipping away at for ages.
Not a bad character analysis. Way off the mark on a few points, but hit the nail on the head more than it missed. Neat.

The summary is quite accurate I must admit.
Watson thinks I don't care about art. I think. The problem with this thing is that Watson spits out vague traits that only Watson understands, and it is humans that named those traits and decided how they are described in the summary.
Anyway the rest of it was pretty accurate, at least for the story I gave it, but because of the art thing now I'm offended.
