Poll: Compare Amongst Yourselves

[thefourthvine]

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.)

I actually feel no need to qualify my answer on the "sexually-active" question, because when you're measuring the time since you got laid in years, it's a fair bet that most people are having more sex than you are. I'm just sayin.

I chose "more normal" as a measure of my ability and willingness to blend in with non-fans when necessary.

On "more/less stable", I wasn't sure what that meant, really -- I left it blank and came back to it at the end. I thought it might mean financially stable, but then reflected that there was a financial solvency question right before it, so I decided it referred to emotional stability. Not sure if that's right, though. (And there wasn't a "confidence" question for me to answer "oh, much less", which would apply to my level of certainty about almost all the rest of the questions.

Well, except that most people seem to be thinking that, so, hey, something's up there. (Oh, wow. That was, like, the Worst Unintentional Double Entendre Ever, and I'm only leaving it in to torture us both.)

Not sure if that's right, though.

I wanted people to use their own definitions of the terms in question, so, yup, totally right.

And there wasn't a "confidence" question for me to answer "oh, much less", which would apply to my level of certainty about almost all the rest of the questions.

Ohhhh, man. Now I wish so much that there had been a confidence question, because - yeah. That would be a fascinating variable.
