Do you find your poll choices influenced by the current poll results?

I was gonna make a poll for this, but it won't let me because I'm not a donor :(

1. I try not to read polls, and when I see em I just shrug a little bit - but
I do think they can be (when done properly) a good indication of things - just not a complete defining of them.

4. Ah ok - sorry about that, in that case then - Not usually, but in a few cases
I voted something crazy just to mess with the op (cause no one else was voting for it, so in that case it did influence me) :)

3. DU polls?
Depends on whether its a serious poll or a silly poll. If its serious, I don't think I'm influenced but choose what I actually think. However, if its silly, there's no telling what I'll choose.

I TRY not to be influenced, but, inevitably, I am.

8. The ongoing pull between....
the need to CONFORM or express individuality, to march to a different drummer or be a team player. It is really tough here, I think I'll head over to GD where everything makes sense and I can be accepted for who I am in a non-judgmental, fair, open way.

























NOT!
