So. How accurate is Google's assessment of you?

The only assessment I see it making is AGE and SEX. And it got my age range wrong, it lowballed me.

Is Google calling me immature?

Is that all there is or is Ad-Block protecting me a little?

Age range is wrong and for some reason it thinks I have a cutlery fetish.

It knows nothing about me, i guess.

On firefox it said I had cookies off (false), on chrome it said it knows absolutely nothing about me.

I'm okay with this.

For me, it's added these categories that don't apply to me:
Law & Government - Government - Executive Branch
Pets & Animals - Animal Products & Services - Pet Food & Supplies
Pets & Animals - Pets - Dogs

It also presumes I'm younger (18-24), which is understandable.


Can't say I particularly care, though I might actually bother to correct its mistakes.

It got my age and sex right.

Thankfully it doesn't know about my porn habits

I think it stays out of that....

It says I have opted out of this. I don't remember doing so but I'm kinda glad I did I guess.

Except for RPG's, it got me right.

I have the cookie, but it doesn't have anything about me. Probably because it's all blocked through AdBlock or a Greasemonkey script.

But this is funny:

Age: 35-44

Well it's out by a decade on the age group but the rest is correctish. The Search Engine Optimisation listing is from a single search that I can think of. Weirdly it's skipped all the work-rekated searches I do for tech info.

Pretty much right apart from Rap and the Law thing.

It pegged my age correctly but for some reason it thinks I have a foot fetish.


Oh, wait...

Might as well post the goods.

That's fairly close, although my movie interests are a lot more varied then that, and I have zero interest in business marketing.

It's got me in a younger age bracket, 18-24, but that makes sense to me, since that's the age bracket of the people I fit in with the most.

There are people who don't block internet ads? Amazing.

Arts & Entertainment (I liked to be entertained.)
Arts & Entertainment - Comics & Animation - Comics (I read comics.)
Arts & Entertainment - Movies (I watch movies.)
Arts & Entertainment - Movies - Science Fiction & Fantasy Films (Especially science fiction and fantasy.)
Arts & Entertainment - Music & Audio - Urban & Hip-Hop - Rap & Hip-Hop (I am in love with Niki Minaj's butt.)
Arts & Entertainment - TV & Video (I watch TV.)
Arts & Entertainment - TV & Video - TV Commercials (I google cute girls from commercials...)

Home & Garden - Home Improvement - Construction & Power Tools (what is this i dont even)
News - Weather (I like to be prepared.)
World Localities - Oceania - Australia (I live here.)

Pretty spot-on for me. Pity I never, ever see any of these ads. People browse without ad blockers? How quaint.

No interest categories are associated with your ads preferences so far.

No kidding

If I wanted to stalk people on Massassi or steal anyone's identities, this thread would have been the greatest idea ever.
