IBM Watson Personality Insights

I tried three different stories I wrote in the last year and received almost the exact same results.  All were overwhelmingly "sentimental", with small variations after that decree.  All my stories are sentimental. I can live with that.  However, it was nice to see my story about a serial killer (an exercise from writing class) was a bit more frantic and compulsive.

My Toga character received:

Your Personality*

You are sentimental.

You are calm-seeking: you prefer activities that are quiet, calm, and safe. You are laid-back: you appreciate a relaxed pace in life. And you are empathetic: you feel what others feel and are compassionate towards them.

Your choices are driven by a desire for well-being.

You don't find either achieving success or tradition to be particularly motivating for you. You make decisions with little regard for how they show off your talents. And you care more about making your own path than following what others have done.

*Compared to most people who participated in our surveys.

Nate from my novel:

Your Personality*

You are social and expressive.

You are laid-back: you appreciate a relaxed pace in life. You are empathetic: you feel what others feel and are compassionate towards them. And you are calm-seeking: you prefer activities that are quiet, calm, and safe.

Your choices are driven by a desire for well-being.

You are relatively unconcerned with both taking pleasure in life and independence. You prefer activities with a purpose greater than just personal enjoyment. And you welcome when others direct your activities for you.
