What does blogging say about you…?

I’m trying to be good and get stuck into this reading again, but I couldn’t resist having a look at this post on the BPS blog. Have a look (especially if you’re a neurotic female blogger!)

Hi there
I started my own blog http://hileryjane.wordpress.com/) at the end of the summer (not much there yet but lots of ideas).
I am female and I like to think I am open to experience but not neurotic! (and my student years were almost 4 decades ago). I wonder if there is other research on this? Fascinating.
Good luck with the CT programme. It’s worth it.
Thanks Hilery,
Welcome to the world of blogging. Watch out, it can become addictive!!

“…consistent with work on internet usage that also found an association with neurotic personality types, but only among women. The researchers surmised that nervous women may blog to “assuage loneliness or in an attempt to reach out and form social connections with others.”..”
So does this make me a neurotic, nervous woman then? Or perhaps when they get round to surveying the home working population they might find the same reasons for blogging with entirely different personality traits.
Perhaps I’m just sad…!
