Likelihood of you being FEMALE is 53%
Likelihood of you being MALE is 47%

Interesting.

Hmm, apparently chucking on the frock and the red pumps makes no difference to my browsing habits.

Likelihood of you being FEMALE is 50%
Likelihood of you being MALE is 50%

Let's see;
  1. My mother was female & father was male - so I inherited equally from each.
  2. I have a hard time figuring what gender I am
  3. My daughter uses my computer sometimes & my "computer phobic" wife has me surf for her sometimes
  4. Survey is hokey
  5. Other

Likelihood of you being FEMALE is 8%
Likelihood of you being MALE is 92%

it's a good thing i'm secure in my sexuality (where's that frilly pink dress...)

hmm... a few excerpts from my history which may need to have their ratio revised :

Site Male-Female Ratio

youtube.com 1
wikipedia.org 1.08
paypal.com 1.04
flickr.com 1.15
nytimes.com 1.13
cnet.com 1.56
urbandictionary.com 1.13
icanhascheezburger.com 1.04
engadget.com 1.7
mozilla.org 1.33
bhphotovideo.com 1.86
winamp.com 1.5
allmusic.com 1.35
oreilly.com 1.67
dafont.com 0.71

i notice mobileread didn't appear in the list which is ironic since that's easily the site where i spend the most time. on the other hand i don't even remember the last time i visited b&h photo.

Okay, score one for them... but the results only analyzed 4 sites... one of them was NOT MR... a number of other sites that I regularly visit (including in the past 24 hours) were not in the results... and one of the sites that was listed was a pop-up ad. Not even vaguely representative of my browsing history or patterns.

I suspect the fact that my browser goes through a firewalled office system may be skewing the results...

Steve, your office firewall theory is interesting. I'm at work now, but will try this on my home computer tonight.

No mention of MR or Daz3d, the two sites I probably spend the most time at. This is from my home computer. I think I should also try it from work.

This seems to be based on visiting Ebay, Google, and The Internet Archive. This site wasn't mentioned. Not a very accurate result at all.
