Ever wonder if you write like a man (or woman)?

Published by at 5:27 pm under blogging,General

Just a quick post.

I submitted a couple of my blog posts to “The Gender Genie” at the Book Blog and it tells me that I write like a man!

This site analyses your writing and attempts to predict your gender. It works best with posts of 500 words plus.

From the site:

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.

    I write like a man – interesting what keywords it considers feminine or masculine. Who knew?
