You might also recognize it it from the Tinder bios of self-described quirky people who like to travel, enjoy eating food, and also label themselves as ENTP \u2014 you know, the unusual types.<\/p>\n
Usually, you\u2019d have to take a test to find out exactly which of the 16 different types<\/a> your personality fits, but this tool leverages AI to analyze your Reddit history and guess your type based on what you\u2019ve said online under the premise of anonymity.<\/p>\n \u201cMBTI is not an exact science and test results are not always 100% accurate, so the machine learning model is also not going to be 100% precise either,\u201d the creators of the tool explain. \u201cThat\u2019s why instead of giving you the most likely personality result, you\u2019ll always get a table with all 16 personalities sorted from the most to least likely based on the probabilities calculated by our machine learning model.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Anyways, I ran my account through the analyzer. Here\u2019s what came back:<\/p>\n Apparently, I\u2019m almost 60% ISFP, which stands for Introversion, Sensing, Thinking, and Perceiving. In other words, my Reddit post history suggests I\u2019m \u201caction-oriented, logical, analytical, spontaneous, reversed, and independent,\u201d and that I\u2019m likely to \u201cenjoy adventure and understand how mechanical things work.\u201d<\/p>\n Basically all the qualities that make me the hard-hitting<\/a> technology<\/a> journalist<\/a> that I am.<\/p>\n More alarmingly, though, the tool indicates I\u2019ve got a \u201ccontroversiality\u201d level of 12.4%. Is that bad, can it influence my future in a negative way? I don\u2019t know. But what better way to find out than compare my scores to those of celebs with Reddit accounts?<\/p>\n Let\u2019s start with someone whose Reddit history got them in trouble, 2016 US presidential debate superstar Ken Bone. If you don\u2019t recall, Bone<\/a> captivated the hearts of America with his awfully reasonable question about energy and his adorable red sweater.<\/p>\n That was until he did a Reddit AMA<\/a> and people started digging into his post history, resulting in headlines like \u201cKen Bone is actually kind of an awful guy<\/a>.\u201d (Those are the words of the New York Post, not mine.)<\/p>\n Anyways, let\u2019s see how controversial Bone is.<\/p>\n Only 1 measly percent \u2014 that\u2019s 11% less than my score. And considering that his Reddit post history got him canceled way before cancel culture was even a thing, I should probably be worried.<\/p>\n But what if it\u2019s just a fluke? I should probably try some other celebs. Let\u2019s get into it.<\/p>\n Barack Obama<\/strong><\/p>\n Former US President Barack Obama did an AMA eight years ago<\/a>. Here\u2019s his controversiality score:<\/p>\n Okay, things aren\u2019t looking any better after this one, but the man literally got elected to run a country. Perhaps I\u2019m setting the bar too high.<\/p>\n Bill Gates<\/strong><\/p>\n Microsoft founder Bill Gates also did an AMA back in 2013<\/a>. He must be more controversial than me.<\/p>\n Goddamnit. Moving on.<\/p>\n Rachel Maddow<\/strong><\/p>\n Alright, Mashable<\/a> placed MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow\u2019s AMA<\/a> among the top seven most disastrous ones ever. For sure, she is more controversial than I am.<\/p>\n Throw me a fucking bone, 2.31%? Alright, I\u2019m giving up. I must be a terrible person.<\/p>\n Anyways, if you\u2019d like to find your MBIT type based on your Reddit post history, click here<\/a>. And if you\u2019ve got a controversiality score higher than 12.4%, please get in touch. I\u2019m desperately looking to give an example of a person with a worse personality than mine.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2020\/10\/Screenshot-2020-10-13-at-17.20.40.png\")
