Some German researchers say they have found that creative writing can reveal certain things about the author's personality, namely "openness" and "agreeableness." I hope they continue this line of research, because I'd like to know a lot of things about authors when I read their work:

• Mac or a PC?
• Left-handed or right-handed?
• Do they put ketchup on their hot dogs? (this could be a dealbreaker)
• Is it "pop" or "soda"?
• Can they explain the Lost finale to me in 10 minutes or less, because I didn't really get it
