Attention span too limited to take the entire survey, so just a few random thoughts.


Do people really frown? Sure, of course they do, but... to the extent that you might reasonably ask people if they frown more often than they smile? Perhaps I just don't understand precisely what a frown looks like. Or the range. I imagine it to be like a scowl. I've seen images and most look unnatural, exaggerated, almost cartoonish. Some don't look like anything at all, as neutral as can be, I don't know why they were even included as "frowns"

So I have to assume you're referring to the former. And I have a hard time believing that anyone goes through life making that sort of face more often than a smile. Unless, of course, they happen to be from Korea, where The Frown seems to be the unofficial National Facial Expression. But they can't help how they look, and most are actually quite contented and pleased with life behind that seemingly perpetual scowl. Or maybe not. How do I know?

Questions 8 ~ 12 annoyed me. I felt like I was being manoeuvred into picking chick-friendly responses and getting in touch with my diplomatic/contemplative/feminine inner child. Where'd you get those ones, Molly? From Cosmo?

12. It's worse to be: Unliked or Weak? Trick question? Wouldn't you automatically be unliked if you were weak? Cuz I sure hates me some weak people.

Spirit animal?? I was pleased to see that the most common answer to that was "huh"?


25. Coffee.
26. Chess or Backgammon. (can't narrow it down)
33. Past.
40. Sense of humour.

The rest I either haven't any answer or too many answers.
