Based on text of an author, it tries to guess your gender. So, just take one of your posts and try it with it. Preferably use a longer, essay-type post.
For instance, my this thread OP was apparently written by a woman, while this one was written by a man.
"Spirit merges with matter to sanctify the universe. Matter transcends to return to spirit. The interchangeability of matter and spirit means the starlit magic of the outermost life of our universe becomes the soul-light magic of the innermost life of our self." - Dennis Kucinich, candidate for the U. S. presidency
"That’s the future of the Democratic Party: providing Republicans with a number of cute (but not that bright) comfort women." - Adam Yoshida, Canada's gift to the world
My last post, in the "degrees of seperation" thread was apparently the work of a woman. Because I use lots of feminine words like "with" and "not", according this thing.
"Paul Hanson, you should give Gibraltar back to the Spanish" - Paiktis, dramatically over-estimating my influence in diplomatic circles.
The above post was also the work of a woman too. I think I'm going to start a lucrative career writing slushy novels under the pen name of "Sharon de Beauvoir", as I seem to have a talent for feminine writing.

I typed in the text "The writer of this text is a woman." and it told me the text was written by a man, apparently because it contains such masculine words as The and A.
The test claims to predict with 80% accuracy, yet from over 97,000 submissions to the website it is only right 48% of the time. If it just guessed at random it could easily have done better than that!
If I'm posting here then Counterglow must be down.

Although, of course, I am a man and therefore it was technically correct. It still seems illogical, though.

Supposedly I am quite feminine too. But then I looked at their scoring and it appears to be arse backwards. How the heck they got female (a negative number I presume) from that dataset?

I pasted a recent post from the CivIII strategy forum, and it told me I was a girl.
Like, whatever.

p.s. Like UR, the "math" that determined my gender seemed to be all ****ed up. I had way more "masculine" words, but it decided I was female nonetheless.
I'm consitently stupid- Japher I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned
Apparently I also am female, although I received a score of 46.
Perhaps grunting, misspelling, and poor sentence construction will make it think you're a male. Oh, and completely ignoring the instructions should help, too.

I too, am apparently female. I think, from the existing dataset, we can start concluding that there is something terribly wrong with this algorithm. At least when it comes to shorter essays.
