How Weird Am I?
(how weird are you??)
The idea for this project came from working in this field for the last 8 years. (Analyzing human health datasets to understand things better and try to make biomarkers).
I always thought it should be easy to build a really valuable dataset, just by making it fun and engaging to share data. Tell people interesting things about themselves, and make it worth their while to share more. And if people want to do it anonymously, that's fine - the value of the dataset is in the aggregate.
It's like public health or epidemiology - but a little weirder. With machine learning, the more data we collect, the more sophisticated patterns we can learn. Insights into human behavior / personality / health that all of us could benefit from.
So far we're at users, so we have some basic findings you can see as you go, but think of this as v0.1 - if we keep it going, it'll get more interesting.
