Neuroscience
The analysis indicates that the author of [this blog] is of the type:
INTP - The Thinkers
The logical and analytical type. They are especialy attuned to difficult creative and intellectual challenges and always look for something more complex to dig into. They are great at finding subtle connections between things and imagine far-reaching implications.
They enjoy working with complex things using a lot of concepts and imaginative models of reality.
Since they are not very good at seeing and understanding the needs of other people,
they might come across as arrogant, impatient and insensitive to people that need some time to understand what they are talking about.
Analysis
This show what parts of the brain that were dominant during writing.
**As you can see in the figure above, this blog is heavily dependent on the frontal lobes (bilaterally) with little to no contribution from the rest of the brain.

-via Language Log, which typed as an INTJ blog - The Scientists.
Although the Neurocritic blog typed as INTP with Typealyzer, The Neurocritic (person) typed as INTJ on The Brutally Honest Personality Test about 2 years ago:
Crackpot - INTJ
People hate you
.Paris Hilton hates Nicole Richie. Lex Luther hates Superman. Garfield hates Mondays.But none these even rates against the insurmountable hate, people have for you.
I mean, you're pretty damn clever and you know it. You love to flaunt your potential. Heard the word "arrogant" lately? How about "jerk?" Or perhaps they only say that behind your back.
That's right. I know I can say this cause you're not going to cry. You're not exactly the most emotional person. You'd rather spend time with your theoretical questions and abstract theories than with other people.
Ever been kissed? Ever even been on a date? Trust me, your inflated ego is a complete turnoff with the opposite sex and I am telling you, you're not that great with relationships as it is. You're never going to be a dude or chick magnet, purely because you're more concerned with yourself than others. Meh. They all hate you already anyway.
How about this- "stubborn?" Hrm? Heard that lately? All those facts which don't fit your theories must just be wrong, right? I mean, really, the vast amounts of time you spend with your head in the clouds...you're just plain strange.
** ADDENDUM: Today [23 Nov 2008], the analysis indicates that the author of http://neurocritic.blogspot.com is of the type:
INTJ - The Scientists
The long-range thinking and individualistic type. They are especially good at looking at almost anything and figuring out a way of improving it - often with a highly creative and imaginative touch. They are intellectually curious and daring, but might be pshysically hesitant to try new things.
The Scientists enjoy theoretical work that allows them to use their strong minds and bold creativity. Since they tend to be so abstract and theoretical in their communication
they often have a problem communcating their visions to other people and need to learn patience and use conrete examples. Since they are extremly good at concentrating they often have no trouble working alone.
The Analysis, however, indicates that the exact same brain regions were dominant during writing as when this was an INTP blog...
