    [​IMG] Well this is, as the title suggests, a rather odd poll. There are really no 'correct' or 'right' answers, I just want to see if there is some common majority here in the answers.

    Note: The order of the answers is alphabetical

    Oh and finally you can read as much or as little into the questions as you feel like.

    Poll Information
    This poll contains 8 question(s). 80 user(s) have voted.

    Finally, someone ask the real questions! :cool:

    Is this a deep psychological survey of SPers?

    [​IMG] @Oxymore, nope. I've had a few of the questions buzzing around in my head for a while and the idea of making a poll on SP, I just hadn't got round to it before.

    Bread goes hard, so I could be used as a weapon. Cheese is for wimps.

    These are the kinds of questions a psychologist would ask.

    [​IMG] Well if there are any travelling psychologists passing through here then could they please explain:

    A) The scientific reasoning and logic behind people's answers to the poll questions

    B) If there is some sort of reason why I should have wished to ask these questions (other than curiosity mingled with a slow afternoon/evening)

    and finally, C) Why is psychologist such a hard word to spell? They should rename it something simple and more pseudo phonetic like 'Sykes'. Actually I know someone with the surname 'Sykes' :hmm: :heh:

    Wow I'm in minorities all the way :D go me!

    @ Yerril You are mistaken about the weakness of the cheese, cheese to me is like the force to a jedi it can be bent to my will, and tastes good on toast too :p .

    Anyway some good random questions there I like it well done.

    Hehe, funny, none of the answers are "supreme" the other. It's just 67-33 and 54-46...

    [​IMG] It's as relevant as most of the other questions, definetly as relevant as question two.

    Interesting that exactly the same number of people have voted 'Abstractness' as 'Optimism', and the same with 'Pointlessness' and 'Pessimism'.

    [​IMG] I can't believe how many people can't follow simple instructions.

    Question 1 of 8 states:
    "Which of these has more meaning for you?"
    "Choose 1"

    So why have almost 3/4 of the people chosen 'one' when you were clearly told to choose '1'?

    :p

    In fact, I didn't even notice or realise the 'choose 1' header.
