I just checked from home. Likelihood of you being FEMALE is 23% Likelihood of you being MALE is 77% Its the finance and aviation sites that did it. Does anyone believe I’m a girl? ---

I’m slightly more male than female, but that’s because I was looking up car stereos on Crutchfield. ---

It only listed a few of the sites I’ve been to, and it came up with Likelihood of you being FEMALE is 45% Likelihood of you being MALE is 55% It didn’t seem to take into account all the car and engine sites I’ve been reading lately, which I would imagien would weigh towards male. Interesting, though. I am male, by the way. ---

Since it’s my work computer, I don’t much care about anyone mining my browser history, since someone is anyway. Since it’s my work computer, I scored 98% male 2% female, and the two percent was entirely “things my wife wanted me to see a link to, such as QVC stuff for birthday presents” as compared to the tech sites, top of which is [tomshardware.com](http://tomshardware.com) at freakin’ 2.33:1 male-female. ---
