Seperti apa orang karakteristik seorang blogger? Tentu sulit menggeneralisasinya, tapi para peneliti menemukan beberapa kesamaan sifat pada blogger-blogger tertentu. Blogger perempuan yang berusia dewasa muda (kuliahan), misalnya, cenderung mempunyai kepribadian yang neurotik (gampang cemas, gugup, atau insecure); blog pun dijadikan sarana oleh mereka untuk menghindari rasa kesepian dan membangun hubungan sosial dengan orang lain.
Selain itu, salah satu faktor kepribadian yang umum ditemukan dalam seorang blogger (baik pria maupun wanita) adalah keterbukaannya terhadap pengalaman-pengalaman baru (opennes to experience). Ciri ini juga dikatakan berkaitan dengan kreativitas seseorang.
Apakah analisis itu juga sesuai dengan kepribadian anda, para blogger?

Rosanna Guadagno and colleagues asked over three hundred students about their blogging habits and asked them to complete the now industry-standard Big Five Personality Inventory.
Around 20 per cent of the students blogged, mostly about their personal experiences. Among female students only, those who scored highly on neuroticism (i.e. anxious, insecure characters) were more likely to blog. This is consistent with work on internet usage that also found an association with neurotic personality types, but only among women. The researchers surmised that nervous women may blog to “assuage loneliness or in an attempt to reach out and form social connections with others.”
Among both men and women, those who were more open to experience were also more likely to blog - perhaps unsurprisingly given that blogging is a relatively new phenomenon and given that this personality dimension is associated with creativity.
