What's your internet personality type?

You're online, sure, but here's what *kind* of online you are.

This post is part of Me, online, Mashable's ongoing series digging into online identities.

If you're reading this, you're probably online, which, you know, good luck. But have you ever wondered exactly what type of online you are?

It takes all sorts to make an internet, from the fighters to the lurkers to the people who don't really understand the internet at all. In our opinion, discovering your internet personality is kind of like the famed Myers-Briggs test — it relies on four main divides.

In this case, the divides are as follows:

  • Combatant vs. Peacemaker

  • Sharer vs. Lurker

  • Distracted vs. Focused

  • Expert vs. Offline

Keep in mind, these traits all vibe together to create a complete profile. So if you're an O (Offline) and a C (Combatant), that still works — you may not be on the internet a lot, but when you are, you're ready to go to bat.

Also, remember this is all for fun. If you don't like your answer, just take the quiz again! Total CSFE move, though.
