Apparently, I’m Boring

I just read this article on HubSpot about grading your online personality, “Groundbreaking New ‘Personality Grader’ Makes Marketing Less Manic,” and for a hoot got my personality graded.

I didn’t do too well.

But one part of the score really struck me.

Sentiment Score:
An analysis of your sentiment indicates you are a generally positive person; how boring.

This analysis is true. I am a generally positive person. Always have been and I like that. I’m optimistic and that’s just the way it is. But what makes me wonder is why is being positive boring?

What? Am I supposed to share all my depressing moments with the world? (Yes, I have my moments.) Am I supposed to be abrasive? Cuss? Belligerent? Those just aren’t me. I’m a positive person and if you don’t like that, well, don’t read my posts … don’t follow me … don’t pay attention to me and just go away. I don’t care. It’s a free world (mostly) and you have a right to your opinion, just as much as I have a right to mine.

So there! Take that Personality Grader!

Of course, I think this may be part of an April Fool’s joke. But, I guess it struck a nerve.
