#12Pretty neat. It's always fun to look at data and find interesting correlations. It nailed it's estimate of me and I felt like I was just clicking no for almost everything.

#13For what it's worth, I got nailed for a single guy in his twenties over $52k/year.
Same result, except apparently I'm a single female. Must be because I don't play Clash of Clans.

#14So basically the answer is no, they can't really tell.

#15"You are a married lady older than 32 who makes more than $52,000/year You're either a married, middle-aged lady ... or you use your phone like one." I am a male (strike 1), 50+ (strike 2), Side business takes in more than $52k (strike 3). I am married (Zillow for Mrs. Mar) and have 2 teen aged daughters (Instagram to follow them). I'll give machine learning another decade /s.
I see no evidence that they used machine learning. If they had, this thread might be less full of people saying it did worse than random.

Same here, some of the apps (like Pandora) don't even work in my country.

#18"You are a married lady older than 32 who makes more than $52,000/year You're either a married, middle-aged lady ... or you use your phone like one." 19 year old male. The only apps that I have on their list are YouTube and Google Maps.
I got that too. Lot of people seem to be saying that here.

Missing the age by a generation and the income by multiples is not 'correct' IMHO.
