   Not convinced about accuracy - my results vary. But it’s interesting and fun.

   I matched with Bram Stoker, and I'd find this a bit more interesting and fun if it told me why I matched with him rather than just telling me about him.

      I agree that they should provide a short analysis with their conclusion. It was fun though.

   I submitted a parody to be analyzed, and it said I matched with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I haven't read anything of his in so long that I don't know whether or not I do. In one of my writing classes in journalism school, our professor gave us several examples to try to mimic:  H.L. Mencken, Dave Barry, the NY Times, the Washington Post, etc. One of the examples was so dull that I had to get out a Thesaurus to be able to match the style and words. In fact, I may have overdone it a little. His comment was that "it was the most boring article he'd ever read. He said I did a great job of mimicking them and gave me an A.
