Now that you know your blog’s Meyers-Briggs personality type, what about its gender?

Web sites that apply an algorithm to determine whether text is “masculine” or “feminine” have been around for a little while. Gender Analyzer is still in beta-testing. Its results are not always accurate.

For instance, it shows my other blog as having a 69-percent chance of being written by a man. But this blog rated a 90-percent chance of being written by a woman.

Uh, no.

Another writing-gender analysis site that shows you its inner workings is Gender Genie. I have used it now and then as a fun exercise for my writing classes, and its results are usually accurate.

Have fun, and don’t take any of this too seriously, unless you really are trying to be something other than a dog.
