A 65+ year old female
And that my interests are: animated films, dance, fitness, gems and jewelry, new zealand

Re: What does Google know about you?
Mine was right, except for a couple of weird interests.
It said I was male and 35-44, correct.
Under my search interests it listed Reggae, which.. I don't think I have ever searched for. And on the website visit list were Berlin and Parenting. I don't understand the Berlin one, and I have no kids, so..
But besides those, pretty spot on.

Re: What does Google know about you?
Mine was surprisingly correct... From my age, to my interests. Guess I am just very predictable.
Re: What does Google know about you?
Mine just has NA on everything except Interests, and for those except the first 3 it is either just wrong or things I very much dislike.
Of course I have Google Analytics blocked on the do not track me add on, so that probably messes with it.

Yeah, if you block your stuff or have cookies turned off, it's not going to work XD I guess if you're savvy enough to watch fansubs, you probably know enough about computers to just blatantly spill your information all over the Internet

Re: What does Google know about you?
Google thinks I'm 25 - 34 and of unknown gender. Age is in the right range, but apparently I'm an alien or something. Too many interests to list, but a lot of them are inaccurate. Adventure games and Anime and manga were in there though.

Re: What does Google know about you?
Got my age range and gender correct. Everything else was blank though.

Google knows nothing about me, because the cookies are disabled

Re: What does Google know about you?
I'm 25-34 year old female; which is correct. Then my interests are supposedly banking, classic films, musical instruments, pet food and supplies, recording industry, and woman's clothing... My god I sound like a crazy cat lady from that. (I'm not I have 6 fish and I watch a lot of toku).
Re: What does Google know about you?
Mine was accurate, 25-34 year old male - but that was apparently based on data from my Google account - I use Gmail. It said I had an interest in adventure games and 44 more. Dunno what those 44 more are, but the adventure game thing is correct, it's one of several video game genres I enjoy.

Re: What does Google know about you?
well since i have do not track me installed the results were inconclusive. age range was right but interests were way off. a few of the 140 listed are Ag Equipment, Hygiene&Toiletries, Pop Music (*shudder*), and Rap&Hip Hop (a genre of music i absolutely hate). its failry obvious google doesnt know me very well, heck i dont even use google for online searching anymore (DuckDuckGo is the place to Go!).

Re: What does Google know about you?
mine was pretty spot on, age range 25-34, interests: types of music that i like, tv shows, etc. except maybe the automobile stuff, but im guessing that's because of my brother.

Re: What does Google know about you?
It's pretty accurate except it thinks I'm old and that I like Bollywood movies and agricultural equipment.

Re: What does Google know about you?
I use Google+, so it doesn't even have to guess my gender and age. It gets them from my profile pretty easily.
Interests are Apparel, Arts & Entertainment, Auto Racing, Autos & Vehicles, Banking, Beauty & Fitness, Billiards, Card Games, Cartoons, Casual Apparel, Cats, Chess & Abstract Strategy Games, Clothing Accessories, Concerts & Music Festivals, etc. etc. etc. all the way to Women's Clothing and World Music.
In other words, Google doesn't know the slightest thing about me, because it essentially lists every possible generic interest for me. I'm pretty sure that's basically the default list. And, if you're wondering, not one of those I bothered to type was an actual interest.
Which makes sense, because I have so many anti-tracking measures going, including but not limited to DoNotTrackMe, NoScript, tracking disabled from within my browser, tracking disabled from my Google Account settings, etc.
