I'm not a big fan of tests that seek to categorize us into nice little
compartments. However, I *do* see some personality traits crop up
frequently enough among tech writers to draw some conclusions.
Just read through a month of TECHWR-L archives and you'll get a pretty
good feel for the personality types drawn to this line of work.
Of course, we'll never know about those darn lurkers.... :)
