Well, sort of. Here’s a cute Javascript that analyzes your browser history and makes a good guess as to your gender.

Fortunately, I’m 96% likely to be male. What’s interesting is the male/female ratio of some of these sites. I’m still not clear on how they determine that, though.

Site Male-Female Ratio
google.com 0.98
yahoo.com 0.9
myspace.com 0.74
youtube.com 1
ebay.com 1.11
amazon.com 0.9
walmart.com 0.77
bestbuy.com 1.11
circuitcity.com 1.2
wunderground.com 1.22
linkedin.com 0.94
gizmodo.com 2.08
macrumors.com 2.08
slickdeals.net 1.27
gametrailers.com 1.53
godaddy.com 1.17
fatwallet.com 1.38
footlocker.com 0.72
jalopnik.com 2.13
engadget.com 1.7
tinyurl.com 0.83
compusa.com 1.7
joystiq.com 1.44
logmein.com 1.17
bmwusa.com 1.41

Some are not surprising at all.
