How do I read my score?
Your scores are percentile between 1 and 100. The higher the number, the more your personality agrees with the associated comment. Your percentile indiciates how you compare against others who have taken this test. Since you have an overall score of 89, this indicates that you have a higher need-for-uniqueness than 88 out of 100 people.

Overall score: 87%

So, are freaks drawn to this test, to SarahBelle, or are DU'ers voluntarily weird?

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. I think DUers are likely mostly all freaks

Since we think freely and independantly. It's a fairly typical attitude of an educated, world-savvy, non-fear-of-the-unkown-driven people.

interestingly, I bet if freeps took this test, they'd also mostly score high in the freak zone, but they'd be lying on their answers saying "I always go against the grain", since they assume "the grain" is whatever Hitlery Klintoon's newest book is. Even though they are lockstep in opinion on everything, for the most part.

"Look! We're all being individuals together according to Rush's blueprint for individuality! By going against Hitlery, we are showing how we are all completely individuated and much more emotionally and psychologically mature than those damn LIEberals as we march together and speak the same sound bites!"

They're so clueless. I can't even express my hatred for their inability to realize just how brainwashed and groupthink they are while at the same time calling communism and dictatorships and tyrrany to be evil.

The conservative mind simply doesn't get irony and satire.

The last of these is especially true for me.

I have loved Ralph Waldo Emerson's writing for years. "Whoso would be a man must be nonconformist." "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds." To me, he has it exactly right.

An Indian friend told me after 9/11 that I should be afraid to speak my mind. I said, "If someone wants to kill me for something I've said, LET THEM! I would gladly die for the right to dissent!"

[ProfessorGAC]

[SW FL Dem]

36. 31/ 5/ 75 here 29% overall

still a freak. I don't need to be unique and definately don't need to NOT conform, but I do speak my mind.

[SarahB]

37. It's okay

For me, I found it strange that I have a strong need to be quite unique along with a fairly strong need to fit in as well.
One of my life's struggles I suppose is the conflict at times between the two.
