Can your browser history reveal your gender?

Here’s an interesting twist on browser history: a Web-based calculator which looks at the sites you’ve visited, weights that against whether those sites have a larger male or female readership, and then makes an educated guess on whether you’re male or female. I came up as 92% male, which sounds about right. How do you score?

    Lols, according to this there’s a 94% chance I’m male and 4% chance I’m female.

    I am a girl.

    (I blame Lifehacker and Gizmodo and Marvel, lol)
