Caterina Schwartzkopf



I entered 10 of my blog entries on this page into The Gender Genie, and all of them came up male. Boredom, Horses, Passion came up Female Score: 358
     Male Score: 1249 Repeat Viewings came up Female Score: 110
     Male Score: 288; Weekend Ends came up Female Score: 268
     Male Score: 408 Regan, Poetry, Tango came up Female Score: 241
     Male Score: 640 and so on... all of them decidedly male. 


I remember the article in the New York Times about this, and suspected that I'd scan as male, but didn't try to scan it until I found this little app., which is accurate about 80% of the time. The Gender Genie links to an article in Nature about the same study, which summarizes it thusly:


Crudely put, men talk more about objects, and women more about relationships.

Female writers use more pronouns (I, you, she, their, myself), say the                  program's developers, Moshe Koppel of Bar-Ilan University in Ramat Gan, Israel, and colleagues. Males prefer words that identify or determine nouns (a, the, that) and words that quantify them (one, two, more).



On the self-evaluation front, I also took the Myers-Briggs Test again this week, and went from being an ENTP (more ENTP) to being an ENTJ. I took the test twice, on different sites, just to make sure, and there it was again: ENTJ. I even tried cheating. It was still ENTJ. From Visionary to Field Marshal?! No thanks... Other ENTJ's apparently include General Norman Schwartzkopf and Richard Nixon. I also share a birthday with O.J. Simpson and Courtney Love. I can't win.

I had you pegged as an ENFP.  



Toward which distant objective is General Fake marshaling her forces?

I'd like to see this Gender Genie thingy tried for liberal/conservative. Or maybe sexual orientation?

I came up male - funny because so much of my blog is quotes - tho usually males.



Maybe I should start putting more quotes from females in my blog.

Fun! By your standard, my own artist's statement reveals me as..bicoastal

Female Score: 721

Male Score: 829



And I always turn up differently on M-B tests, today it was iNFj.

  It's like IQ, depends on alot of physical and emotional variables. Remain an armchair general, ok?

There seems to be a perennial discussion at the occasional face-to-face meetings of Austin bloggers about some people's claim that online journals are about relationships while blogs are about stuff.



Which seems to fit another (disputed) observation that most self-described journalers are women while bloggers are more commonly guys.



The discussion usually runs aground after people cite counterexamples, or bring up the further stereotype that most male journalers are gay, or note that the journaler-blogger distinction only matters to journalers and bloggers couldn't care less.

for what it's worth, I am also an ENTJ, sometimes I go over into the deep-end of ENFJ. When Greg started law school this fall, they had everyone take the MB and then there was a big group discussion about the traits and how which sorts of people would have what kinds iof problems in the new environment. They had people split up into the 16 different types. Greg was the ONLY INFJ in the entire entering law school class.

I am torn between being a mastermind (INTJ) and a Field Marshall.  Not sure which is worse, when I read the profile of both of them, I keep hoping for an arch nemisis to destroy me before I conquer the world.

Hi, I like your blog. 

You can look at the stats for the gender genie, where you can see that it gets women pretty consistently wrong (2/3) over fiction, non-fiction, and short-length blog entries, and it's not that great at men either. It has nothing like a 80% success rate. In fact, their current 70% success rate is only so high because someone has been feeding it female blog entries of more that 500 words that it correctly identifies. It has a 90% success rate there, and the quantity of female blog entries correctly identified is an order of magnitude higher than that of any other category, which seriously skews the results. Erika pointed this out to me.

PF just beat me to it but I was also gonna say this is one of those 'beware of stats' things.



80% doesnt mean much as a standalone number. A simple example: If 80% of the submissions are from males and I guess 'male' every time then I will also be right 80% of the time.

I like you blog, by the way.  Made me think.

For what it's worth, my sister (Caterina) is very much an ENTJ. Always has been. Always will be. She should be CEO of her own company, and probably will be, someday.

in my estimation, ENTP is "aquarius"

& ENTJ is "leo", so you might read

about both of those & see which seems

closer.



some computer poems i posted scored

as female, by the way.

Hmm. The genie picked me up as male even on the posts where I admitted crying and the post where I asked if the blogosphere is sexist. What do you make of the fact that the highest weighted word on the genie's 'female' list is 'him', but the word 'her' doesn't even appear on the genie's 'male' list?

I am an INFP, which fits me almost perfectly. And hey, I share my personality archtype with Homer, Shakespeare, the Virgin Mary, and Saints John and Luke. Not too shabby.
