Mike On Ads

Mike, it is a product of r1*r2*… and not a sum.

Thanks, I think I just found out something about myself. Apparently your little test thinks I am 91% female in my browsing behavior.

Thanks for catching the typo — fixed. Note the actual calculation was correct.

Hmmm, your test thinks I am:

Likelihood of you being FEMALE is 99%
Likelihood of you being MALE is 1%

Btw, I never did post my own stats!

Likelihood of you being FEMALE is 26%
Likelihood of you being MALE is 74%

75% male.

Its interesting. I never realized the major websites actually had a female skew.
Yahoo .9
Amazon .9
Pandora .9
Gmail .9

Says I’m male (59% to 41%). Guess that puts those lingering gender identity issues to bed…

Likelihood of you being FEMALE is 62%
Likelihood of you being MALE is 38%

Lucky for your test I surfed Ikea and Target this wknd instead of my true internet love ESPN.

Hmph…

Likelihood of you being FEMALE is 17%
Likelihood of you being MALE is 83%

Nice post Mike. I got mine right. Cool stuff. Love it.

Another important thing to note — if I could only grab the FREQUENCY of visits to a URL the estimates would be a lot more accurate. Of course all you need to do that is a tag present on a lot of these sites… *hmmmm*

It said there was a 87% chance I’m female, and I am. But I admit that women in San Francisco often seem attracted to me. That probably explains the other 13%.

Very cool.

I think there’s something wrong with your widget. Or else I’m hanging out in the wrong places altogether.

Well, I am a male, so that is good. But, it is hard to believe that my browsing is that predictable. I was seriously expecting some gender bias; maybe my browsing might be twenty to thirty percent skewed to female. Nope; null, zero, bupkiss, nada, I got nothing.

With 55 items, I have an average of 1.25, a median of 1.11, and a standard deviation (no punn intended) of 0.49.

Four of the sites that skewed it towards female are TV network sites that I use just to test network connections. I never actually look at most of them otherwise, except for the Food Network which is one of the heaviest female sites of the bunch. One of the other network sites, cnn.com is more male but I definitely never go there other than for network tests.

I wonder if this is actually measuring things like “works in the computer field” more than it measures gender. I.e. I wonder if most female computer programmers would measure male.

My browser history is a mix of sites that I visit, and sites my 8-yr old daughter visits (at least that’s my story and I’m sticking to it). I’m surprised at how close to 1.0 the ratios for some of my daughter’s favourite sites are:

stardoll.com 0.65

Unless there’s a lot of other dads in there distorting the statistics?

Well … guess again.

It occurs to me that because this is a tech blog the female readers will also probably read other tech blogs which have a heavy male skew. To see if this really works you’d need to run it somewhere much more neutral.

I’m female, but wasn’t surprised to be told I was 86% male

100% female. which is correct. I am woman! What I thought was odd, though, was that there didn’t seem to be any weight given to how frequently one visits sites. Several of the sites, including home page, that i frequent are “more male” according to your ratios.

Is it true that males and females use the internet equally often? I think this assumption is implicitly given in the priors of your application of Bayes rule.

Im a male!

@Dirk
The actual correct priors should be the gender ratio of people who visit this site, not just use the internet.

Also, the big thing I take away from this is that, for most people, the browser history doesn’t generally give enough information to determine gender, but it does rarely supply “conclusive” incorrect evidence.

For example, this widget currently indicates that I am 54% female, when I am in fact male.

I’m male.

Interesting. I’m 53% male. I’m actually 100% male so that’s reasonably good.

Perhaps it needs to be processed a bit further for better results. Say, round the ratios to the nearest quartile so only sites with a significant gender preference are counted. Because I visit Facebook doesn’t tell you anything about my gender in reality.

To all the females who were guessed as male, note that you’re not random females. You’re females who are reading this article, and that implies strongly that you’re a technically-minded user or a programmer, like most of the males who are reading the article too, I assume.
Therefore you don’t match the general female statistics and are classified as male (since males on average are more likely to be technically minded programmers).

A better test is to email the link to non-technical women and men and see if it’s more accurate against a more representative sample of humans.

I guess this doesn’t work for me — the script says I’d be rather female thogh I know it better
The fact Im using meebo isn’t a matter of being girl — it’s more that security-settings @work don’t allow me to use my preffered IM-App psi.
Anyway a clever idea. As in so many other cases I’d say this kind of daramining says more about its author than audience. It might also be neccesary to adjust Ratio region-specific, due to cultural differencies.

Maybe I missed it, Mike, but I’m curious about where the male:female ratios came from for all those websites. I didn’t see it on the Quantcast page you linked to… and even if it had been there, I’d wonder how they knew. I’ve never seen a site ask for gender, even when placing an order, and you can’t reliably guess it based on first names, so… how can the visitor gender ratio be known for all these sites?
