Poll: Compare Amongst Yourselves

[livejournal.com profile] makesmewannadie is visiting me, and we got to talking, as we often do. (Okay. Full disclosure: the actual challenge would be making us shut the fuck up.) And one thing we talked about reminded me of a poll I'd considered posting lo these many moons ago, to test a hypothesis that I can't very well tell you beforehand. (Bias is death to informal and statistically skewed LJ polls, my friends.)

So, first, let me just say: hey, it'd be cool if you'd take this poll. I would love you and stuff.

Second - when I say "your friends list," I mean the portion of your friends list that you read regularly - your default reading filter, if you have one, or the whole list if that's how you read. (If you don't read your friends list at all, this poll is not going to be a good fit for you.) My point is, I want you to consider the people you know the best. (Which is not to say you necessarily know them well, of course.) And when I say "the average," I mean your own personally assessed average of this trait over your friends list.

And, seriously, there are no bad answers here. I'm only wondering where you fit into your own mental picture of your friends list for these particular variables. I know you may not have great data for all these questions; just give me your first reaction, and I will of course love you forever.

ETA: Please don't go back to change your answers after you've finished the poll and seen the results! (Unless you think of something you want to add to the text box, or you've decided shoes are more important than almost-cock. Those questions are weighty and take long consideration; I understand that.)

There isn't really any way to link the results of each answer to each other, is there? With these polls we don't know if the same people who feel that they are less normal are also the same people who feel they are more successful (choosing two at random).

The results are visible to [livejournal.com profile] thefourthvine, so she could track the statistics about it if she wanted to.

Cim's right that I could, in fact, track that if I wanted to. But, sadly, LJ does not offer poll data in any kind of downloadable form, and hand-coding this many responses would be - well, more work than I'm willing to do without being paid.

*sad*

When will LJ respond to my need to do SPSS-X analysis on my poll data? When, damn it? *shakes tiny fist*

Mmmm, with the right bribe, I could be persuaded to input the data for you.
