This is a silly little thing I recently came across. Basically, it's a word analysis program that takes large amounts of text someone writes and tries to determine their gender based on their use of language.

I hardly think it's very accurate, but still fun. It is supposed to work better the longer the text you enter.

My results, based on a short paper I recently wrote for college:

Code: [Select]

Total words: 1420

Genre: Informal
  Female = 1698
  Male   = 3633
  Difference = 1935; 68.14%
  Verdict: MALE

Genre: Formal
  Female = 1549
  Male   = 2640
  Difference = 1091; 63.02%
  Verdict: MALE
(For the record, I am male.)

[watsisname]

Amusing, it says I'm 70% MALE in informal writing, but 43% WEAK FEMALE in formal writing...
Apparently this also could be an indication that I'm secretly European. 

[Klaustrophobia]

I could probably make this thing explode with one of my lab reports or senior design paper.

[Colonol Dekker]

Make Batutta use this.

[Snail]

Make Batutta use this.

hahahahaha

[NGTM-1R]

Inputting some of my fiction gave the complete range of results depending on what I gave it.

The only thing I can tell that actually changed, though, was the the Female bit failed the Bechdel Test. Which doesn't say good things about whoever wrote this.

[LordPomposity]

Make Batutta use this.

Inputting his Cyclops bug report:

Genre: Informal
  Female = 1043
  Male   = 1620
  Difference = 577; 60.83%
  Verdict: MALE

Genre: Formal
  Female = 658
  Male   = 857
  Difference = 199; 56.56%
  Verdict: Weak MALE

Weak emphasis could indicate European.

[Luis Dias]

Weak emphasis could indicate European.

Because Europeans are effeminate.

[LordPomposity]

For the record that's part of the program's output, not my commentary.

[Rodo]

well at least I'm not a female , but weak male??

I need to start going to the gym again.

[StarSlayer]

I was assuming there was going to be a bunch of Thai hookers and you had to guess which one was naturally a woman.

[Commander Zane]

And if you lost you had to drink liposuction fluid?

[Scourge of Ages]

I input a short story I wrote from a first-person perspective, as a female character. The results are:

  Verdict: Weak MALE

I'm not sure what specifically that indicates

[Thaeris]

well at least I'm not a female , but weak male??

I need to start going to the gym again.

For the record, at some level everyone can be AT LEAST be classified as "weak female."

[Mr. Vega]

I put in an article by Ursula K. Le Guin (maybe one of the most feminine writers ever) and it gave me 70% male. Some guesser.

[Luis Dias]

well at least I'm not a female , but weak male??

I need to start going to the gym again.

For the record, at some level everyone can be AT LEAST be classified as "weak female."

or "european".... I'm slightly pissed off at the innuendo there if no one else noticed...

[Pred the Penguin]

These are the results I got. I don't have anything longer on hand that might give a more accurate result... oh well.

Though all of my short stories that I've ran through it seem to come up weak male in formal. Not too surprising, as my narrative writing is understandably different than expository.

[Mongoose]

I wonder penis what would happen penis if you wrote "penis" every five words penis.
