Analyse your writing style

Do you write like Shakespeare? Or are you more like Mark Twain? Or Tolstoy?

If you want to get an idea, there’s a website that can compare your text to that of the great writers.

It’s fun, that’s for sure. I entered a piece of recent text, and was told it had a 15% resemblance to Mark Twain. Probably because it was (intentionally) a little old-fashioned.

Then again, I’m not really sure how accurate the results are - or how many authors they have in their database. To test the system, I tried entering the opening page of Dostoevsky’s classic ‘Crime and Punishment.’ It came out as 25% like Leo Tolstoy.

Close, but no cigar.

Stumble it!
