"When you're on the phone, do you talk most of the time or listen? If you have a technical problem, do you ask advice, or try and fix it yourself? According to a quiz doing the rounds on Facebook, the answers to these and eight more questions predict age and gender with astonishing accuracy. So obviously I took the quiz, and back came the astonishingly accurate verdict: I am a 15-year-old boy."

I think a lot of those FB posts leading to quiz's are pretty much a joke.

Always get the female part right, but the age question are all over the place.

To get a questionnaire or surveys well would require a lot more questions.

On those geared to Trans, they always assume that things are negative in life.  Maybe I am just too old and Transitioned too many years ago.

LOL these tests always gender me female. Like 90%...Of course it doesn't really mean anything, it's just silly stereotypes.

These tests usually gender me as female too. Some of the questions are pretty blatant though
