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, Bar-Ilan University in Israel, and Shlomo Argamon, Illinois Institute of Technology, to predict the gender of an author. Read more at BookBlog, The New York Times, and The Guardian.Here is a typical result:
Words: 702
(NOTE: The genie works best on texts of more than 500 words.)
Female Score: 665
Male Score: 773
The Gender Genie thinks the author of this passage is: male!
My guess is that my engineering style overpowers my writing!

I put in two different Hump Day posts. The one where I talk about material possesions was skewed heavily female. The one where I rant about news and gossip was skewed heavily male.
Hmmmm....
Interesting! I wonder what it would say about me...and if two posts would get two results!
