You're Weirder Than You Think
I say this with love

One of my long-time hobby-horses is that people are way weirder than they realize, and that our politics would look different if more people understood how massively unrepresentative they are of the rest of the population. So here's a little quiz designed to demonstrate.

Me: Your combination is shared by 0.600% of US adults.
That's about 1 in 170 — unusual enough that you should probably assume the people like you don't represent the country.

    This test is obviously flawed. I'm the most normal person I've ever met.

    I think it's pretty safe to assume that if you're a long time member here, you're not what most people consider "normal". I seriously doubt that any of us are going to be representative of more than 5 or 6 % of the population.

    I'm good with that.

    I figure I've got to be in the 50 percent range.
