I found a psych study about how vulnerable narcissists use more first person pronouns in their writing, and applied that to the Epistles in the New Testament to determine Pauline authorship (Paul has always struck me as a vulnerable narcissist).
Amazing result. Very distinct clusters on relative usage between the undisputed non-Pauline letters (John, Peter, etc) and the undisputed Pauline letters.
Almost all the disputed letters fall in the non-Pauline cluster. Only 2 Timothy falls within the Pauline cluster, and does so smack dab in the middle of it.
Currently debating formatting the results for peer review (which probably won't publish for a year at least) or just creating a post with pretty graphs.
As an aside, the whole "can't have published preprint elsewhere and can't submit to multiple journals" submission policies at academic journals is dumb.
