Do you write like a girl?

It’s time to put your writing to the test!
Two scientists believe they have found a way to determine your gender from a writing sample. I know it sounds like complete rubbish, but the logic behind the “GenderGenie” has been put to the test and can predict gender with a 72% accuracy.
So, if you’re ready to put your man/womanhood on the line, follow the link below. It works best with writing samples of over 500 words. Just remember, never ask a question you don’t want the answer to…

For a bit of fun I pasted an extract from a story I wrote from a female POV. And lo, the machine called me a girl!
PS. jerrygordon.net has been added to the links section of my site.
I’ve tried a fiction excerpt from a male and female POV. The GenderGenie got both of them right. Thanks for the add, Mike.
