It was eerily accurate on me. 1. science 2. technology 3. programming

They could do the same game, but hard-code the results, and be right for 95% of the audience here :)

  Hmm, I was: 1. technology 2. programming 3. history 4. politics 5. design 6. architecture And it was dead-right.

    same for me, though I barely read anything on history or politics

  Actually, they don't seem to diverge much. I've tried randomly clicking on grey squares on different areas and it always gave me similar results (programming, gaming, technology, engineering).

  I actually was going to come to the comments, assuming they had done that before remembering that I was supposed to view the source.

Pretty inaccurate for me. It game minimum value to books and writing, and i love them both. I just dont open enough links about them (i read the books! Not their sites!)

  Did you ever heard of cold reading?

    hey thanks, i just googled it. I knew something about it (like reading expression or something, from watching 'the mentalist'), but i did not know what it was called. but CMIIW the technique used in the linked app is categorized as 'hot reading' right? because it somewhat gather information from our "browsing history". Somewhat same technique used by google for user 'profiling' maybe? just a little bit of assumption.

      The hot reading is researching information on you directly which is less relevant in this case as you don't leave implicit traces of "I love reading Konan Doyle" in your researchable browser history. You may have visited some Konan Doyle sites but you can still do it for other reasons than actually liking his books so any such attempt will include a lot of guesswork.

      No, it's exactly cold reading, because it tries everything and encourages and watches your reaction (with javascript) to determine which things it was throwing against the wall were relevant to you. It's an ePsychic™:)
