    The Gender Genie!

    http://www.bookblog.net/gender/genie.html

    So far from people that I actually know, this is dead on with a big enough sample writing.

    Let the internet break-ups begin! :wink:

    My two latest LJ entries of 500+ words of mine told the gender genie I am female.

    lol the so called "algorithm" for figuring out if you're a male or female is based on your choice of words and yea, they told me I was a female too

    So uhh, is the algorithm if you spell words correctly and use mostly proper grammar you're female? <.<

    This thing is obviously fucked up. Said I was female too. -_- Dude needs to fix his algorithm. Shorter posts always ended up in me being male, longer posts always ended up being female.

    If you have a LJ you're automatically a woman, because only chicks keep diaries. Pansies.

    I'm going through longer entries on my friends page and putting them in:

    First female = male
    First male = male
    Second female = male
    Third female = male
    Wafik's latest entry = female

    It identified Dahaan as male based on his First Treatise on Linkshells.

    Maybe y'all need to start writing like him to stop getting called girls by a machine.

    Fictional paper I wrote a couple years ago said I was female. Wasn't off by a whole lot though I suppose:

    Words: 5141
    (NOTE: The genie works best on texts of more than 500 words.)

    Female Score: 6920
    Male Score: 6718

    The Gender Genie thinks the author of this passage is: female!
    The page was going slower than Jesus bearing the cross for me too.

    Do women or men talk more in your experience?

    i've put in a few excerpts from two books i had with me and some blog posts, the "genie" said all the female posts were male and all the male posts were female save for one post.

    perhaps the columns are in the wrong place? that algorithm needs more work.

    Yeah what he said. And more to the point, which one would be the easier algorithm to write?
