It's interesting how on a thread on privacy a bunch of people are sharing their demographics with complete strangers on the internet.

To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.

Google correctly guessed my gender, it didn't have any other information.

With my useragent set to “Googlebot”, my odd browser, Privoxy, and searches like “latex images”* and “qdppdq”, Google probably has no idea what to think of me. That would explain why I can never access cached webpages without Google telling me that it has detected suspicious activity from my computer.

*I mean LaTeX, not latex, but searches are not case-sensitive.

Arts & Entertainment I guess, I mean that's what I'm on the internet for.
Arts & Entertainment - Comics & Animation - Cartoons No.
Arts & Entertainment - Music & Audio - Urban & Hip-Hop - Rap & Hip-Hop There is so much wrong here.
Arts & Entertainment - TV & Video - Online Video I watch some Let's PLays on youtube, looks at Stworca, but that's about it.
Games - Computer & Video Games - Strategy Games They got me.
News - Politics Got me again.
People & Society - Social Sciences - Psychology This is actually from a running joke I got into on reddit.
Science - Mathematics Well, yeah.
Science - Physics Yup.
Shopping - Photo & Video Services - Stock Photography What is this? I don't even?

You have to remember that Google is smart. These figures are to show ads you are more likely to click on, and it is better for them to steriotpe and assume that if you follow some interests, you will follow others. For example, if somebody is shown to identify as a young male and has a great interest in anime, it is pretty safe to assume they also like video games. Even if they have never done any search for video games before, and in reality have zero interest in them, it would still show up, because in a lot of cases it would attract interest.

This isn't what Google thinks of you, this is about what Google thinks link to the interests you have shown for your age group.

Anyone can say that 18-24 year old males like video games.  Google is trying to tailor their ads a bit better then that.

Not working on mine system. is there any tool which i should install to get the information.
When i try to get info, i put the url in search engine but there i got the links related to other information.

Try putting the URL in the address bar, and not in the search engine and see if that helps...
