Seems to be made up. I have a unique name and really am not interested in the military or sports, but they still took up 1/3 of my characterization. And what the hell is "illegal" ??


I searched for my handle, the military stuff came from Everquest discussions on other message boards. In particular it seemed to be focusing on words like "tank" which describes a role in a "raid"; which are actually part of a fantasy video game not a real military discussion.

For my real name, I got a lot of sports stuff because there's a guy of the same name who writes sports books.


Uh oh. They're on to you!

Anyway, I don't think it's all that accurate in categorization. They seem to pick up keywords and label them as some arbitrary category they've defined the word as. I showed up close to 15% in Fashion and I work in Infrastructure Engineering with a dab of Software.
