My journal says I'm 57% masculine.

I got 59% feminine. So go figure.

Did you read the word selection pdf that is linked at the bottom? It's supposed to describe the standards.

Ok...neither did I.

As far as I can tell, women use pronouns much more than men, according to their research. Pronouns apparently signify "involvedness", in this case assuming the reader knows to whom most of the pronouns refer. Men use cardinal numbers and discuss Things more.

That's my distilled version of 17 pages with tables missing.

I'm not surprised, I tried it out on around 20 people on my friends list (most of whom were female) and they all came up male. I'm not certain that it gives any readings of female, which rather amuses me.
