How Weird Am I?
(how weird are you??)
Ok. so. I made a website called howweirdami.com. The idea was: could i build a dataset for mental health research,
just by making it fun and putting up weird cryptic little ads around Boston.
Turns out: yes. i've recruited 1719 people so far. 90% of them completed the baseline survey, including questions about anxiety / depression / their sex life. And ~1/4 went on and answered more questions or left feedback, nearly all of which has been positive (or better yet, stuff like "you're doing it wrong, it should work like this...").
Frankly the whole thing has been kind of amazing. The only catch is I started it while unemployed and, well I'm still unemployed and I need to change that, so I've lacked the bandwith to keep it going full speed. But the weather's getting warm so I'm putting up ads again, and I'll push updates when I can.
So yeah. If you took the baseline survey - awesome, thank you. If you want to do round 2, that would be even awesomer. And if you think this is cool and are interested in helping, see here.
