Genre: Formal
Female = 3883
Male = 3524
Difference = -359; 47.57%
Verdict: Weak FEMALE
Weak emphasis could indicate European.
Interesting! That was a sample from 2003. I am going to try a more recent piece in a minute.
Okay, now I have inserted a recent mini-story from a recently published (April 30) deviation, “Ineffective Champion”, at my Deviant Art webpage. Here is the result :

Verdict: Weak MALE
I have segued from “Weak Female” to “Weak Male”, and I didn’t even have to go to Sweden for an operation. Awesome!

Threw in a chapter of a short story I wrote recently. Verdict:
I’m MALE, dammit! A STRONG male! And totally not European.
I’m going to go cry and fondle my vagina now. 
Oh, good–another chapter of that same story gives:
Seems like a pretty weak tool to me.
I am female but I have some decidedly male personality traits. For the informal sample, I submitted a fairly whiney blog entry and got:
Genre: Informal
Female = 1646
Male = 1119
Difference = -527; 40.47%
Verdict: Weak FEMALE
Then for the formal sample, I submitted a copy of my resume. I haven’t written anything formal for so long that I don’t even have a sample handy, except for my resume. I got:
Genre: Formal
Female = 420
Male = 176
Difference = -244; 29.53%
Verdict: FEMALE
Weird. I submitted a post from my little love advice blog (which I thought was really girlie), and then a section of a work report I’m writing. With the exception of one “weak female” the other three scores were male. Funny, I’m a woman, and a girlie girl woman at that.
Though I have been told that I “write like a man” whatever that means.
