The Gender Genie
Inspired by an article and a test in The New York Times Magazine, the Gender Genie uses a simplified version of an algorithm developed by Moshe Koppel, Bar-Ilan University in Israel, and Shlomo Argamon, Illinois Institute of Technology, to predict the gender of an author.
After pasting in a long blog post made a while back the genie determined I was male:
Female Score: 869
Male Score: 1071
I tried it on another long post with the same result. I’m not that surprised.

I’m a guy, too. Female 99; Male 289
Did you look at the weighted words? The whole thing seems to me to assume women are less decisive than men. I disagree with their assumption.
I got a girlie score on the next one I submitted.
