I came across this site recently that has you answer a few questions in order to analyze what kind of writer you should be. My results:

You Should Be A Poet. You craft words well, in creative and unexpected ways. And you have a great talent for evoking beautiful imagery . . . or describing the most intense heartbreak ever. You’re already naturally a poet, even if you’ve never written a poem.

Hmmm, interesting. I never really considered myself to be much of a poet -- I’ve always seen myself more as an analyst, but with a slightly utopian philosophical side. Are these the ingredients to be a poet and I just don’t even know it? (Sorry, I had to throw that in).
