Who does Google think you are?

I think you need a google account to see it.

So let's see what age, interests and gender google has on you. Did it get it right?

They have no info on me cause I block it . You can also opt out of it on that site.

On some friends of mine it had the age off by up to 20 years and some pretty random interests. Even the wrong gender on one. Suddenly I'm not so intimidated by this tracking stuff anymore.

 

[_random_]

Age- 18-24 (I'm 17. Guess I can seem mature to computers.)
Gender- Male (Yep.)

Interests:
Arts & Entertainment - Comics & Animation
Arts & Entertainment - Comics & Animation - Comics
Arts & Entertainment - Music & Audio - Rock Music
Food & Drink
Food & Drink - Cooking & Recipes
Games - Computer & Video Games
Games - Roleplaying Games

All would apply to me, although I've never actually played Roleplaying Games. It's been an interest for years, but I haven't been able to find a good group.

While I have a Google account which I use liberally, the link said Google didn't had any info on me.

 

[Quackers]

It got me spot on..

 

[Joecoolyo]

It says my cookies are disabled.

Which is strange because they aren't.

Weird.

 

[rugbyLEAGUEfan]

It said I'm over 65 . I'm 38

You're just retro

Here's me...

Arts & Entertainment
Arts & Entertainment - Music & Audio
Arts & Entertainment - Music & Audio - Dance & Electronic Music
Arts & Entertainment - TV & Video - Online Video
Computers & Electronics
Games - Computer & Video Games - Simulation Games
Games - Online Games - Massive Multiplayer

Seems about right. I almost guarantee the TV & Video section is only there from MLP though.

It said I'm over 65 . I'm 38

Same here. I'd like to think we're in good company

They also have my "interests" wrong.

It's skewed because when I checked the site I was on my mobile, and the range of websites I visit is understandably restricted

World Localities - North America - USA - Midwest (USA) - Iowa
Age: 25-34

[cardgame]

It didn't hazard a guess at my location.

Your categories and demographics
No interest or demographic categories are associated with your ads preferences so far. You can add or edit interests and demographics at any time.

I never opted out so I guess I'm just unpredictable.

 

[amadeus]

They didn't know me. Also, I didn't know I was opted-in. *opts-out*

 

[W|M]

I got:

Arts & Entertainment
Arts & Entertainment - Comics & Animation - Comics
Arts & Entertainment - Humor
Arts & Entertainment - Music & Audio - Music Streams & Downloads
Arts & Entertainment - Music & Audio - Radio
Arts & Entertainment - Music & Audio - Rock Music
Arts & Entertainment - Music & Audio - World Music
Business & Industrial - Business Operations - Human Resources
Games
Games - Computer & Video Games
Games - Computer & Video Games - Simulation Games

Internet & Telecom - Mobile & Wireless - Mobile Apps & Add-Ons

This seems quite accurate, although Google doesn't know where I am or who old I am.

 

[Verarde]

Age: 18-24
Gender: Male
Arts & Entertainment - Movies - Science Fiction & Fantasy Films
Games - Computer & Video Games - Simulation Games
Games - Computer & Video Games - Strategy Games

Pretty well done, except for my age. Raises the points of internet privacy, and how google is tracking you, blablabla.

Do you use Adblock Plus? Pretty sure that causes it to say your cookies are disabled.

 

[Skwink]

Age: 18-24
Gender: Male

Arts & Entertainment - Music & Audio - Rock Music
Games - Computer & Video Games - Simulation Games

That's me except for the age.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Google thinks I am a male aged 35-44. I'm amused.

That would make quite a bit of sense.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

That would make quite a bit of sense.

Why?

When I look down I don't see any male appendages between my legs. And my birth-certificate says I was born in 1992.

Also I have no memories of the 1980s.
