Watson knows me

[pyesetz]

porsupah mentioned this writing-analysis test from IBM's Watson.  I fed it my Mass. trip report '14 and it said:

You are inner-directed.

You are calm-seeking: you prefer activities that are quiet, calm, and safe. You are unconcerned with art: you are less concerned with artistic or creative activities than most people who participated in our surveys. And you are deliberate: you carefully think through decisions before making them.

Your choices are driven by a desire for discovery.

You are relatively unconcerned with both achieving success and taking pleasure in life. You make decisions with little regard for how they show off your talents. And you prefer activities with a purpose greater than just personal enjoyment.

What do they say instead?

'Extraversion'. Not a terribly uncommon mis-spelling - I've seen it often before - but it's not a mistake I'd think an AI computer would make.

Wikipedia says that "extraversion" is the spelling used by psychologists, such as the people who wrote this AI program.  In fact, they claim that "extroversion" is a misspelling redirected to "extraversion"!  Conversely, dictionary.com says that "extroversion" is the headword and "extraversion" is an also-spelling.

That's interesting. My B.S. is in Psychology, and I never saw that spelling used in my entire curriculum.
