The Gender Genie: Gender Confused

January 28th, 2008 by Rose DesRochers · 7 Comments

The gender genie is suppose to determine the gender of a writer given a body of text. From the website: “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.” I think the gender genie is gender confused as it determined that I was a male both by my blog posts and my article writing.

There you have it. Apparently I’m a man. In fact, according to the Gender Genie, both Beth and Drowsing Monkey who visit my blog are men too and humour Columnist John Sammon is a female.

I just made a final check, and the author of this here blog post is indeed a man. Who knew. I better break the news to my husband.

Are you male or female?

If you liked this post, why not buy me a coffee?

    I think it’s funny that when I put in the text about my driving adventure I came out female…but when I put in something where I was being snarky…like the tongue incident…then it was male! LOL I guess I’m only manly when I’m all angry…LOL LOL

    I’ll take it!:eek:

    Drowsey, I tried my article “No Prince Charming – You’ve got to be kidding me” and what do you know it said I was female.

    I couldn’t fool it. I tried at least four different posts and every time it said I was a man. :roll:

    I am still male, and go outside …. interesting test, although the keywords are very common.

    I saw your comment at Drowsey’s and had to see what was going on over here :-)
