"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.

Yep, identical result, though I'm male, 32+ and 52k+.

I do actually use a very small handful of the website versions of some of these (eg, I have been to Walmart's website, I subscribe to some tumblr RSS feeds, I (very occasionally) use Facebook, and I listen to stuff on soundcloud every now and again)..

I generally don't install an App unless there's a very compelling reason to. Most of the time, the App version is going to irritate me with notifications I don't care about, and ask for permissions ranging from questionable to obscene (some game needs access to view all contacts, photos and use my microphone? yeah... no thanks).

Well that's interesting - the only difference between you and I was YouTube, and I'm a married man over 32 making 52,000+. (I have YouTube because Google installed it by default on my phone but I disabled it so I didn't count - also, I'm a 23-year old male who makes a lot less than 52,000/year :D )
I got the same result but also have Yelp installed. I'm a facebook user but m.facebook.com is so much better than the native app.
It is a very sad state of affairs when it is faster to use a website than an app.

And better privacy.

YouTube and Google Maps are pretty bad signals for Android users since they come preinstalled on the majority of phones.
"Either you're a single, middle-aged dude... or you use your phone like one."

I guess the latter is true, for their definition of single, middle-aged dude.

I got that too. Lot of people seem to be saying that here.
Same. Only male. Correct result.

The only app i have is Facebook.
