This website claims it can guess your gender by looking at your browser history.

So what gender is Scanner Nicole?

According to what's on her browser history there is an 85% chance that Scanner Nicole is male. (All this without even counting YouPorn.) According to what's between her legs there is a 100% chance she is female.  (Who knew that BBC.com has such an overwhelmingly male readership?)

It was interesting to see what it said for Nerve, as far as male-to-female ratio:

Likelihood of you being FEMALE is 18%

Likelihood of you being MALE is 82%

Site Male-Female Ratio

nerve.com 1.27

I'm 68% likely to be female, in spite of my typically male tastes.  It was totally perez hilton that threw off my balance ;)

It told me:

Likelihood of you being FEMALE is 49%

Likelihood of you being MALE is 51%

With nothing to go on, I could say of any given person:

Likelihood of you being FEMALE is 50%

Likelihood of you being MALE is 50%

I'm a 53-year old straight guy with even more personality problems than I had just a few minutes ago.

I'm a woman who is 55% likely to be male and 45% likely to be female. So I guess I'm a he-she with a little more he. Probably even more though, if I hadn't been looking up cooking tips and reading articles on the-clitoris.com this week. Who knew?

66% female, 34% male, which is probably pretty close to accurate...like, I look sweet in a dress, but I'm too butch to listen to Feist.

What this statistic disappointingly doesn't take into account is the amount of time you spend on any given site-- like, the fact that I visit the festeringly masculine all-boy playground of metafilter.com pretty much every day should really cancel out a single how-do-i-make-cupcake-frosting-in-time-to-get-to-grandma's-tea-party (no joke) fumble through the martha stewart archives.

I would say I am totally shocked -- 95% chance that I'm female?? I'm the least female chick I know! But then you look at my history as the site sees it... apparently joann.com and televisionwithoutpity.com can turn ANYONE into a girl.

haha Okay, I also have to mention how irritated people of both genders seem to be at getting "female" scores. Seriously, it makes me want to put on a frilly pink pinafore and sing "I Feel Pretty" just to show some girlie pride.

76% female - my husband said he was sure it would ID me as male "because of all the porn you look at"... but we just bought a house & are looking for furniture, so I've got IKEA in there, and Epicurious for BBQ recipes... and of course Nerve is the only "porn" site listed!

Well I'm a girl and I got

Likelihood of you being FEMALE is 11%

Likelihood of you being MALE is 89%

Not suprising considering the amount of ...sites I've been checking

Interestingly, the chickiest site I visited was Sallie Mae.  Apparently, being a responsible person who pays your student loans is an overwhelmingly female trait.
