The Gender Genie

[Tom Violence]

So, this (http://www.bookblog.net/gender/genie.html) site believes it can successfully predict the gender of the author of any piece of writing. It claims to have an 80% success rate. I dediced to test that with posts from a random selection of Tatysite members. Well, four random members and myself.

For best results, I tried to use long posts.

Here are the results. I have not omitted any. Honestly.

Hmm. Not quite an 80% success rate then.

I mean - I could simply guess and I'd have better result by statistic alone. :p

[la aurora]

huh... well, sometimes I like playing games and hiding my gender even writing in such a gender-specific language like russian is. Just for fun. Just to see I can do it. It's not easy in russian. But... I swear! Here I didn't try to do anything like that! I can't remember exactly what was written in that post, but I somehow think it was clear enough that I was female. Yeah, I WAS... now I'm a male as this site says... cool :lol:

parrish122, YOUR butch typing? :D I've done that thing over and over again and I'm always male. LOL

[freddie]

I'm always female. Hmmm... maybe I should change my style of writing a bit, to suit my gender better. :ithink:

Heee! I am FEMALE! It was close though.. :heh:
