Thanks to Paul Cook for the initial link to this fascinating little javascript script Social History. Thes cript analyzes the css color of various links to determine whether or not the user has been to that site. If the link has the “visited” style, then he marks the user as having been to that site. Now the Social History implementation of this is rather innocuous — it’s a clever way of only displaying only the sharing buttons of sites that the user is an active participant of. Of course there are far more interesting applications for advertising.

One of the things that I always wanted to do but never got around to was to analyze a user’s browsing history to estimate age and gender. Of course the idea is definitely not new, in fact Xerox (of all companies??) has a patent on the whole process and I’m certain plenty of networks already do something of the sort… but what the heck, let’s have some fun!

So what I did is I modified the SocialHistory JS so that it polled the browser to find out which of the Quantcast top 10k sites were visited. I then apply the ratio of male to female users for each site and with some basic math determine a guestimate of your gender. The math is really quite simple, I just take:

1 / (1 + r_1 * r_2 * … * r_n)

where p_i is the ratio of men-to-women for the specific site. For example, if you had been to two sites that had a 2-1 ratio of men to women, the probability of you being female would be:
1 / (1 + 2 * 2) = 1/5 = 20%

Ok, so Click the button to give it a shot (those of you using RSS readers probably need to click this link to open this post in a browser):

UPDATE: This takes a while on Internet Explorer — please be patient (or try FireFox)



Kind of cute right? Don’t worry — I am not storing your history in any way, this is purely for fun. I’d appreciate it if you paste the resulting probabilities in the comments together with your actual gender, I’m interested to know the accuracy of this simplistic approach. In case it isn’t obvious — please don’t do this for real.

UPDATE: I’ve disabled comments for this post, as there are simply too many!

    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.

    I’m female, but apparently flipping a coin would be almost as accurate a predictor as my browsing history.

    Hmm,

    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.

    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.

    @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.

    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.

    Wrong I’m afraid. Problem is that you haven’t hit ANY of the websites I regularly visit. I was checking out Runescape because my 9-year-old want to be a member and Play.com for some game prices that I’m going to demand as payment for fixing a PC. If I hadn’t, by chance, visited those two sites recently, you probably wouldn’t have been able to rate me at all.

    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?

    Funny – I’m a woman, and with the amount I visit jezebel I was sure I’d end up with the stats the other way ’round.

    I like how the only non-skewed site on my list is Youtube. Apparently you don’t have to have genitals at all to enjoy videos of funny cats.
