The algorithm looks for ten markers, five additive and five subtractive. It totals up the points from the markers and compares that to the number of words in the sample. If you have more points from the markers than words in the sample you're male, otherwise you're female. So, if you don't use any of the markers you default to female. http://snurl.com/25lm

>I called max a girly girl girl because he or she is.
Was the emphasis on [I to indicate that the assessment of my sex was made by you, rather than by the website? Every passage of text I entered had me listed as female. I couldn't get it to give as a result, "girly girl girl", so I'm guessing that was an embellishment on your part. You'll be pleased to know that you were just as wrong as the non-sentient algorithm used by the website, and that's its excuse.

Well, that's nice. At least that helps the wonderfully elegant algorithm maintain its 50-50 success rate. (Female)

I can't help but think that the algorithm as published is but a pale shadow of itself.

So computers haven't figured out the differences between men and women yet. Ha! At least they're not ahead of us there.
