Ok, this is just a game (at least all winners, not all being equal) between Bipolar Games.

Every waking hour (GMT and lazy me), I will post a question. I'd like you refrain from answering until I've asked all questions (I will tell you when I'm finished).

The game element is that inter-rater reliability (the concordance between your answers and those of others) and your own answers will (hopefully) tell you how normal you are BP-wise. I'd say, in the spirit of BP, that abnormality makes you a winner, but it might be that normalcy is something that makes you a winner in your eyes.

Please try to answer as honestly as possible. You can't lose, either way.

To add a game element: you may give a prediction of the mean scores for all questions. I will first let you know when I've asked all questions and 24 hours after that I will ask you to give your own—honest—answers/scores. You may also predict how questions relate/correlate: either inverse, no or normal correlation (internal consistency or in(ter)dependence; extra points!). Game scores depend on how many degrees you're off: 8 minus that number/degree.

To add yet another game element, I challenge everyone to come up with her/his own questions and via the same procedure we may continue the game. Two rankings are finally made (if anyone takes me up on the challenge).

If there are any questions about any of this, please let me know.

Questions have to answered/scored as follows:

On a scale from 1 to 8 (not at all – very), compared to most other people (so not just those with BP: anyone):

It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
