Surely you're joking, Dr Watson

drwexI fed about 4200 words of LJ entries into https://watson-pi-demo.mybluemix.net/ and here's what Watson had to say about that
You are unpretentious and sentimental. (Yeah, right)
You are unconcerned with art: you are less concerned with artistic or creative activities than most people who participated in our surveys. You are empathetic: you feel what others feel and are compassionate towards them. And you are intermittent: you have a hard time sticking with difficult tasks for a long period of time. (Well, one out of three isn't bad for guesswork. I suppose it depends how you define artistic, but I think I care a great deal about some artistic things.)
Your choices are driven by a desire for efficiency. (OK one point for this one)
You consider helping others to guide a large part of what you do: you think it is important to take care of the people around you. You are relatively unconcerned with taking pleasure in life: you prefer activities with a purpose greater than just personal enjoyment. (no, yes, no, and sort of)
So we're at somewhere between 3-5 of 9 right. That's about coin-flip accuracy.
Data Behind Your Personality ( it's hard to know what to make of these numbers since I've no idea what the scale is or whether they're matching against a linear distribution, a normal distribution, or something else. I include them here for comparison in case some of you are motivated to replicate this exercise.)
