. @deftly_admiral points out that the statistics of the responses have changed since I wrote this (14 months ago), and are now a little bit better than random. Still very unimpressive, but would at least outperform a random number generator.

A fair number of people seem to take this as personally impugning them if they get a low score. But with just 8 questions & s'times fine-grained categories, it's a mistake to read too much into an individual result (high or low). The overall statistics, OTOH, do seem interesting

I.e., if you get a low (or high) score maybe you were just unlucky (or lucky). But when a large group of people get a low average score, that's pretty interesting, even accounting for the fact it's just an online poll.

I wonder if people are wrong in a specific direction (in addition to what would be expected by chance).

I wouldn't mind looking into this, if the data is available.
