An Essayist's Notebook

Here are his conclusions...

• You are interested in relations unfolding through time, not isolated things.

• You tend to ask “What has become visible here?” rather than “What is it?”

• You are engaged in a continuing re-evaluation, where later experiences can change the significance of earlier ones.

• In essays, you typically begin with a tension and seek to recast or reperceive it.

• The goal is not resolution, explanation, or closure, but disclosure: allowing something previously unseen to become visible.

• You generally prefer dialectical exploration to scholastic categorisation or conclusion-seeking.
