I won't reveal the purpose of this survey just yet- just answer the question and after a while I will see what I was looking for and if my hypothesis was accurate.
Yes, I know, this isn't the best place to do this (I need more variety for a survey of this proportion), but its the best I got.

Jay is considered eccentric by others in the real world. *gloom* Jay makes people nervous in person, which is why Jay likes the forums. Here, no one is afraid. That may be why weird people flock to places like this; we can speak without being judged because we're faceless...

Quiet
Weird compared with what standard?
If none is specified, any can be answered to. I think that's why so many here are weird...

Then I'll say I'm not weird.

When you look at anyone you can find characteristics that identify them apart from the rest of society. Because (mostly) everyone possesses these traits, it's a common attribute, and thusly isn't weird.

What would be really weird would be being like every one else...

Well- what I was trying to prove with this little survey was if thinking you are weird is quite usual. I've noticed many people consider themselves weird- but they are not unique in their "weird" aspects.

So my conclusion is that even though you may think you are different than the norm- you are surprisingly included in it.
I don't know if 9 responses bares any resemblance to an accurate survey though.

Do you get where I'm going?

My response I think shows I understand you.

I guess this was a lame psychological survey- better ones to come!

Psychology is just so damn intriguing...

I think I am weird, but I'm happy with myself. It's who I am.

Well I am your average fourteen year old, I may be weird in some things (Like video games, I'm totaly obsessed) But other than that I am pretty average. But I do like to dress differntly than everyone else because I hate people that are "followers" :)

Very few people meet the media's definition of normal, so everyone's weird to differing degrees.

I am as weird as any other nerd that could kick a jock's ass.

I am in no way weird, but I am definitely unique.

Ajentkay, I guess I am the same as you. In American culture unique is synonymous with weird. Part of the right wing's plans to make us all consumer-slaves? Maybe.

Sure I'd say I'm weird. For the past week I've spent four hours a day at a theater class and when I'm not there I'm here on these forums.

But I'm not actually weird, I'm just pretending.

Excommunicado, you should start a new thread asking if people think they're insane and see if you get the same results.
