An online algorithm that takes text input from blogs, etc, and analyzes the sort of person you (or the author) is. Copy-paste, the bigger the sample, the more "accurate" the results.
My results:
"Your Personality*
You are inner-directed.
You are calm-seeking: you prefer activities that are quiet, calm, and safe. You are empathetic: you feel what others feel and are compassionate towards them. And you are independent: you have a strong desire to have time to yourself.
You are motivated to seek out experiences that provide a strong feeling of well-being.
You are relatively unconcerned with tradition: you care more about making your own path than following what others have done. You consider independence to guide a large part of what you do: you like to set your own goals to decide how to best achieve them."
And I ran it through again, this time only using that content from my dreams:
"You are sentimental.
You are empathetic: you feel what others feel and are compassionate towards them. You are calm-seeking: you prefer activities that are quiet, calm, and safe. And you are proud: you hold yourself in high regard, satisfied with who you are.
You are motivated to seek out experiences that provide a strong feeling of connectedness.
You are relatively unconcerned with achieving success: you make decisions with little regard for how they show off your talents. 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."
I tried it a few times, the results were always 90% or greater the same.
I have a certain skepticism of online personality (or any personality) profiles, but it's fun to run through other peoples emails and compare their portrait to your experience of them.

IMHO (In My Humble Opinion) this is all the proof we need that machines have achieved sentience, and should be destroyed before the great purge of humanity begins...
