Sensation Seeking
Hi Everyone, I have a theory that unicyclists are Sensation Seekers, due to the nature of our minority sport. I also thing that those of us who hate the random non-unicyclists comments are Introverts and those that don't care are Extroverts. If anyone would like to try out my theory, you can take Zuckerman's Sensation Seeking scale at http://tinyurl.com/qkoq and a personality test at http://tinyurl.com/6l4n2 to find out about the intorversion/extraversion thing. If you do have a go, I would love it if you posted your results on this thread.

Sensation Seeking
Thrill and adventure seeking - you score 9 out of 10 This consists of items expressing desires to engage in sports or activities involving some physical danger or risk such as mountain climbing, parachute jumping, scuba diving, speeding in a car, etc. Experience seeking - you score 7 out of 10 This descibes the desire to seek new experiences through the mind and senses by living in a nonconforming life style with unconventional friends, and through travel. Disinhibition - you score 1 out of 10 This describes the need to disinhibit behaviour in the social sphere by drinking, partying and seeking variety in sexual partners. Boredom susceptibility - you score 1 out of 10 This indicates an aversion for repetitive experience of any kind, routine work, or even dull or predictable people. Other items indicate a restless reaction when things are unchanging. Your total sensation seeking score is 18 out of 40 -- James_Potter - betcha can't stick it! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ James_Potter's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3807 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/41197 |

Other items indicate a restless reaction when things are unchanging. Your total sensation seeking score is 25 out of 40 ------------------------- I wasn't crazy about that survey. Often there were two choices of which neither was close to my personality. It was very black & white, so when in doubt I erred in the obvious direction of boosting my score. You can be a thrill seeker without being a sensation seeker. In other words, you can like adventure sports without necessarily being interested in illegal drugs or extramarital sex. -- johnfoss - More Moab Fun John Foss, the Uni-Cyclone "jfoss" at "unicycling.com" -- www.unicycling.com "Read the rules!" -- 'IUF Rulebook' (http://www.unicycling.org/iuf/rulebook/) -- 'USA Rulebook' (http://www.unicycling.org/usa/competition/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ johnfoss's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/832 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/41197 |

Your total sensation seeking score is 24 out of 40 ========================================= I thought this was not a terribly insightful survey. I agree with what John has said. Also some very exciting, interesting and unconventional people eshew drugs and alcohol. Look at Frank Zappa, for example. I also don't think a real thrill seeker would care particularly if the small craft they took far out to sea was sea worthy or not. -- JJuggle - We Are the Newts Who Say, Nigh.

Sensation Seeking
And on the second one I got this: Section 4: Results Your answers suggest you are an Introvert, not an Extrovert. You tend to focus on and get your motivation from your own inner thoughts and ideas. Spontaneous, ideas, hearts, and Introvert. -- forrestunifreak - Its time to change this thing now. Team YAMS member. I still think this empty space looks funny...
