If you are the websites you visit, then I’m… “confused”

On the remote off-chance you hold any doubts as to your gender, this little script, after analysing your website browsing history, will make the call for you.

One of the things that I always wanted to do but never got around to was to analyze a user’s browsing history to estimate age and gender. Of course the idea is definitely not new, in fact Xerox (of all companies??) has a patent on the whole process and I’m certain plenty of networks already do something of the sort… but what the heck, let’s have some fun!

For the record my result was: “Likelihood of you being FEMALE is 50%. Likelihood of you being MALE is 50%.” What can I say? I surf a very wide range of websites. :)
