Shannon Larratt is Zentastic

Wow; 3,000 people have filled out the survey already. I'm shooting for 5,000 people in all, but I know that's very very very ambitious. Tomorrow I hope to have a very preliminary “public access” page up and running that will allow you to delve into the results at your leisure. Anyway, here's a couple more tidbits, broken up into male and female. The “do you enjoy porn” chart was surprisingly close, but the sensible diet question was way off…

The current dataset (as of 2 PM) contains 2,104 answer sets (ie. 2,104 IAM members have filled out the survey so far). Below are some questions people had for the system (this will be publicly accessible later, and I will also release a slightly stripped down for privacy version that will include individual datasets). Sorry I couldn't answer them, my current search capability are a quick hack that's very limited in scope and power…

1. Goat asks, “How many people [on IAM] are religiously goth?”

Only four people selected that as their “religion”.

2. gorelord asks, “how many iam members are sxe, yet have trafficked drugs?”

Of straightedge IAM members (117), 14 (11.97%) have trafficked drugs, and of the ones who describe themselves as “militant” (14), 4 (22.22%) have trafficked drugs. By comparison, the average for all IAM members is 26.28%.

3. goddam asks, “how many people on iam wished they had bigger genitals and how many wished they had smaller genitals?”

324 people (15.4%) said they wish they had larger genitals, and 46 people (2.19%) said they wished they had smaller genitals.

4. kenoki asks, “I'd be interested to see the number of men vs. women who have had genital piercings.”

For males, here's the breakdown:
Prince albert – 255 (29.89%)
Ampallang or Apadravya – 106 (11.43%)
Dydoe – 9 (1.06%)
Frenum – 135 (14.56%)
Scrotal piercing – 101 (10.90%)
Guiche – 25 (2.70%)
Other male genital piercing – 58 (6.26%)

For women, here's the breakdown:
Horizontal hood piercing – 80 (6.93%)
Vertical hood piercing – 203 (17.59%)
Inner Labial piercing – 67 (5.81%)
Outer Labial piercing – 53 (4.59%)
Christina – 24 (2.08%)
Princess Albertina – 2 (0.17%)
Other female genital piercing – 35 (3.03%)

5. MiL0 asks, “I would like to know who thinks they're hotter than average?”

117 (5.56%) thought their face was much more atttractive than average, and 846 (40.21%) thought their face was more attractive than average. 48 (2.28%) thought their body was much more atttractive than average, and 411 (19.53%) thought their body was more attractive than average.

6. frank_prov asks, “how many feel their mods have effected them in a negative way”

That's a broad question, so I'll instead answer where some people feel they've been negatively treated:

Work (Job interview) – 835 (39.69%)
Work (quality) – 0103 (4.90%)
Work (Interactions with coworkers) – 425 (20.20%)
Work (Interactions with employer) – 510 (24.24%)
Work (Performance reviews) – 137 (6.51%)
Work (raises) – 140 (6.65%)
Work (Promotions) – 186 (8.84%)
School (fellow students) – 374 (17.78%)
School (teachers) – 495 (23.53%)
School (grades) – 46 (2.19%)
Family (parents) – 1120 (53.23%)
Family (siblings) – 272 (12.93%)
Family (extended family) – 758 (36.03%)
Friends (close) – 178 (08.46%)
Friends (social) – 352 (16.73%)
Authority figures (police, judges, etc.) – 619 (29.42%)
Retail sales staff – 724 (34.41%)
Restaurant service – 605 (28.75%)
Dating – 433 (20.58%)
Marriage – 43 (2.04%)

Not that it's a big surprise, but it's interesting to note that by a wide margin, the group most likely to give someone grief over body modifications is parents… That said, 199 (9.46%) said that their relationship with their parents was improved by their mods.

7. Boromir-_ asks, “How many on IAM smoke Marijuana regularly?”

Never – 1114 (53.38%)
Occasionally – 608 (29.13%)
Frequently (socially) – 144 (6.90%)
Frequently (privately) – 101 (4.84%)
Regularly, addicted – 120 (5.75%)

8. Terran asks, “how many people over 21 are sXe?”

On IAM, 50.21% of members are 21 or younger. When you limit that to members that identify as straightedge, that jumps to 63.7% being under 21 (which to me suggests that there's no real evidence of a “straightedge till 21″ phenomena).

9. joy asks, “Of those who've raped/murdered, what was the ratio of male: female?”

For males, 4 (0.43%) say they have committed rape, and 7 (0.76%) claim to have committed murder. For females, 4 as well (0.43%) say they have committed rape, but only 2 (0.17%) claim to have committed murder.

10. Finally, darkelvis asks, “how many IAM members have committed bestiality?”

65 (3.09%) say they have once, 41 (1.95%) say they have multiple times, and 3 (0.14%) say they still do…. 53 (2.52%) say that they never have but that they'd like to.
