Tonight I read about an online test called The Gender Genie. This thing uses an algorithm based on certain keywords to predict the gender of the writer. I love meaningless online tests, so I had to try it. To get as accurate a result as possible I submitted several entries from my blog. The results were mixed but according to the Genie I'm a male, more often than not. This will come as a shock to my husband and children.
A tip of the hat to The Republic of T. Incidentally, The Gender Genie tagged him as a woman.

That's interesting. I tried it with several different blocks of text from my blog and got about half and half male-female results. The really interesting thing is that the results depended on WHAT I had written about. If it was a personal reflection, prayer or a devotional post, it always scored female. If it was a post about cars, music or news it was almost always male.
I think this says far more about the biases of the author of that algorithm than it does about the sex of the author in question...
hi dear new friend,
oh...lol...that sounds funny! I think that was designed by a man who thought only men could write, that's why it recognizes all writers as male! lol...
Wish you the best.
