Are you the Normal Person* or a Savants*?

People have been dancing around this division since times immortal. They’ve been called liberals and conservatives, introverts and extroverts, “artistic type” vs. normal people, individualists and conformists, so now you already know what I am talking about. Depending on who is writing the text, they are giving a positive slant to their own type, while slamming down the “opponent”… This time, I have studied this division from several perspectives, and, for one thing, the extrovert/introvert typing is not reliable, an introvert with their own kind of people turn quickly to extroverts, while the extroverts turn introverts when surrounded by the type of people they do not understand. We are all lively and free when we are among our own kind of people who make us feel accepted and loved, and withdrawn when we are with people who we feel is judging us or with whom everything that we say seems stupid or irrelevant to everyone else present.

Now, liberals and conservatives, rather as words than political parties, or the individualists and conformists, there is a couple of pairings that is a lot closer to home:

Do you wish to be like everyone else and for everyone else to be like you (to blend in), or would you rather stand out?

I think I will leave my questions here, it is really that simple.

If you wish to be like everyone else, you are (most likely) the Normal Person*, and should you wish to stand out, you are a Savants*. I could go on a lot longer giving you a lot more traits to weigh, but as in many ways we are similar, and words mean different things to different people, I will keep this as short as this.

There are other factors in play to give you a tighter group still, but this will get over this hurdle.

Please update your group setting here, and we will soldier on!
