What is this thing, anyway?
We all know deep down that we're all absolutely engrossed with ourselves, especially in a world of selfies and likes. Admitting it, however, is a different story. The Vanity Checker uses cutting-edge technology to deliver an assessment of your narcissism quotient straight to your browser. Just pop in a written piece of yours and the Vanity Checker will psychoanalyze it better than a college freshman's first paper on Freud.
How does it work?
The Vanity Checker calculates the ratio of self-pronouns (such as "I", "me", and "my") to other sentences in the text. This is a simple and completely unscientific way of estimating how often the author feels the need to reference their own self to communicate a point.
What the heck is the point?
Glad you asked. The author of this application has found that when writing about himself, he drizzles sentences with self-pronouns in a predictable and inelegant fashion, like an absentminded cook adding too much salt. Feeling self-conscious about his self-consciousness, he devised ways to reduce the surplus of self-pronouns in his writing, for instance, writing this completely necessary application.
