bookblog.net— The Gender Genie uses a simplified version an algorithm to predict the gender of an author. Really weird. I submitted some writing and it new I was a guy just from the words I used.

I'm heavily introverted and my writing is heavily masculine according to this site. I think it has more to do with the Thinking / Feeling function (which does indeed have a gender bias; more women are feelers) than Introverted / Extroverted.Also, subjectivity and objectivity are fairly independent of Introversion / Extroversion. They are determined more by the Thinking / Feeling and Judging / Perceiving functions.
Actually, if you do look at them, the female words all look like the person would be talking about someONE, but the male words look like the person would be talking about someTHING. That could be the difference that they're shooting for.
Umm...okay...well. That was certainly interesting. I wrote a very girly blog entry about make up and prom dresses (I know the gender genie doesn't read for content...I'm just saying...) and then I typed it in to the "gender genie", which apparently thinks I write like a guy. Does this mean I think like a guy? Scary.

Don't worry. If you submitted Maddox's most recent post he apparently writes like a female.And quite frankly he is the most manly man ever.<a class="user" href="http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=sony_bulls**t">http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=sony_bulls**t</a>

The statistics finally prove that girls who use digg are masculine.

It thinks I am a guy. Go figure - it must know I am a software engineer too.

Mine was wrong! I think you should be able to correct it.
