Based on text of an author, it tries to guess your gender. So, just take one of your posts and try it with it. Preferably use a longer, essay-type post.

For instance, my this thread OP was apparently written by a woman, while this one was written by a man.

My last post, in the "degrees of seperation" thread was apparently the work of a woman. Because I use lots of feminine words like "with" and "not", according this thing.

The above post was also the work of a woman too. I think I'm going to start a lucrative career writing slushy novels under the pen name of "Sharon de Beauvoir", as I seem to have a talent for feminine writing.

I typed in the text "The writer of this text is a woman." and it told me the text was written by a man, apparently because it contains such masculine words as The and A.

The test claims to predict with 80% accuracy, yet from over 97,000 submissions to the website it is only right 48% of the time. If it just guessed at random it could easily have done better than that!

Although, of course, I am a man and therefore it was technically correct. It still seems illogical, though.

Supposedly I am quite feminine too. But then I looked at their scoring and it appears to be arse backwards. How the heck they got female (a negative number I presume) from that dataset?

I pasted a recent post from the CivIII strategy forum, and it told me I was a girl.

Like, whatever.

p.s. Like UR, the "math" that determined my gender seemed to be all ****ed up. I had way more "masculine" words, but it decided I was female nonetheless.

Apparently I also am female, although I received a score of 46.

Perhaps grunting, misspelling, and poor sentence construction will make it think you're a male. Oh, and completely ignoring the instructions should help, too.

I too, am apparently female. I think, from the existing dataset, we can start concluding that there is something terribly wrong with this algorithm. At least when it comes to shorter essays.

quote: Not really. I think the expectations play a big part. Why try to excel academically, if your parents, and teachers, don't expect that of you? One of my best teacher, I think all of my best teachers had high expectations, not just of me, but of all of their students. And she was female. Again, students get into patterns, but I think there is another reason for why women work harder in university than the men. Men tend to see authority not in what society says, but in how people perform. If you have the skills, you will do fine without the degree, whereas the women see the degree as comfirming authority.

Female again.

quote: As those who remember the last Democracy game, we have experienced every form of government, except for Fundamentalism. Therefore I propose a plan to drive towards Fundamentalism so that we can broaden our experience as democracy gamers. An alternative preposition is to remain in a Monarchy, crank up our taxes and luxuries while churning out Crusaders to conquer the entire world. Of course, there will be some who clamour for Democracy when we finally research the tech, regardless of the army required to conquer the world? So which should we strive for, as an advanced form of Government?

Even my ontopic posts are female.

"You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.'[5] But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell."

Female as well.

Let's try some other famous male authors.

quote: Do not pursue what is illusory - property and position: all that is gained at the expense of your nerves decade after decade and can be confiscated in one fell night. Live with a steady superiority over life - don't be afraid of misfortune, and do not yearn after happiness; it is after all, all the same: the bitter doesn't last forever, and the sweet never fills the cup to overflowing.

Solzhenitsyn is female.
