Click on this link, it will tell you what Google knows about you, how old it thinks you are and what gender. Mine wasn't even close, how about you? Oh yeah, and you can opt-out on that page too.

I am now a 25-34 year old male. I like this compliment, seeing how the last time I saw the age of 34 was 6 years ago.
 
it was spot on for me, which is no feat at all, since I have a Google+ account, gmail account, android handset, etc......
 
I went to the page but I don't see anywhere that is says what it thinks my age is. Am I missing something?

Google does not associate sensitive interest categories with your ads preferences.

So porn doesn't affect this :p

Well the age range is right at least :rolleyes:. I swear I haven't been looking at consoles or handhelds, honest :(!
 
Good guess on the age, but regarding gender... everyone know that there are no women on the internet.

There are only dudes and fat dudes pretending to be chicks.

Well I didn't opt out but I am not "opted" in either, so I'd rather not click on the link in that page...
I deleted my cookies and cacher earlier on today, maybe that's why I don't see my age or anything.

I use noscript and have a lot of google stuff disallowed
 
It determined that I don't like being tracked and spied on with Google's cookies. It was correct.
 
25-34. Try again, that is not even close. Then again I always delete my history and cookies :/
 
Did a pretty good job at figuring me out, on my work computer. Let's see how it does when I use my home computer. :)
 
Got my age and gender dead on 24, Male, but cats???

No offense to cat owners, but cats and me normally don't get along. I'm actually really curious why this is in there? LOLcats???
 
it couldn't guess mine, my hosts file got in the way of doubleclick. will have to try on my PC later instead of on my phone
 
Must have opted out way back or something.
Google shows nothing for me, IE/Firefox, doesnt matter, nothing.
 
It didn't guess for me either. I guess that's whats happening when I see my AV cleaning out "tracking cookies" during idle time.
 
Wow, this nailed me to a T: Bodybuilding computer nerd!

Interesting; On my laptop I am male, 25-34 and on my desktop I am male, 35-44 (I have sole use of both).
Pretty damn accurate.
