Male or female?

[Verrath]

This site claims to guess the gender of the author when you paste in passages of what someone has written.

It's quite fun. And it also appears I must have a gender-changing belt somewhere. From my old fan-fic site, one of my old fan fiction stories came up male, another female.

Anyone else want to try?

I'm going to feed in my character bios as soon as I get home

Yea, when asked that I normally just reply, "I'm a Moth!"

It throws people off anyway.

The above text scored:
Female Score: 17
Male Score: 12

A few other posts of mine scored:
Female Score: 290
Male Score: 219

Female Score: 274
Male Score: 145

Female Score: 55
Male Score: 92

Female Score: 0
Male Score: 17

Female Score: 149
Male Score: 59

Female Score: 291
Male Score: 118

Female Score: 104
Male Score: 12

So bar a few, it's got me as female. Is it right or wrong? Guess you'll just have to keep wondering :P


It's scary really. I tried this text from Sharringtonm, "Just go ahead and finish it. Its easier to do that then to go in and alter the databases."
It received this score:
Female Score: 8
Male Score: 17

Oh, and apparently Leaving Hope is a girl too!
These are a couple of Leaving Hope's posts:
Female Score: 359
Male Score: 188

Female Score: 90
Male Score: 65

And finally, your post Verrath, came up like this:
Female Score: 21
Male Score: 127

Well, Verrath, according to them and based on what you wrote above, you're a dude.

The Gender Genie thinks the author of this passage is: male!

Yes, yes, I must be. As the attached pic clearly shows ....

[Kaeldorn]

Haha, 12 out of 16 of my longer RP posts came up as female. Yikes! RP'ing Yashia makes me get into the head of a woman rather much.



EDIT: And I got the following scores for that bit of text I just posted above:
Female Score: 4
Male Score: 36

Luckily I can distinguish imagination from reality quite well.

[Gabryal]

Wow came up exactly even, exactly as it should be

[Leaving Hope]

Nice picture! Thanks for sharing.

[Verrath]

Well, most of my old fanfiction stories register as female, at least.

Only one of my three character bios does though. Heh.

(the pic is somewhat old, btw.)

I took a PhD certified test in regards to determining gender-based thinking patterns in the brain. As it turns out, my thought processes are more similar to a woman than a man. It was a 51/49 split.

[Verrath]

I'm thinking that mine probably register "male" so often because I learned my English from reading books (not a native speaker), and 4 out of 5 of my favorite authors are male (or so they say - I could only verify one in person - hehe).

You can't really help adopting the writing style of those authors you read, especially if you don't know any better, and happen to like their style

In my test, I was actually categorized as an inanimate object, perhaps an AI or bot. How DID they know I was merely a sentient metaphysical construct generated by an elaborate matrix of synaptic code chunks distributed throughout the interweb!

They tried testing my manliness once, but the machine they used exploded.
