hypnagogic August 24, 2012 Share August 24, 2012 Talking to the tulpa-owners on some forums and being one myself, I've started to see some interesting regularities in the traits of hosts. For example, I haven't yet encountered anyone older than 20. What unseen statistical anomalies hide in our community? What types of tulpa do people usually create? For how long they were doing it? How did tulpa affect host's usual life and well-being? Are mental illnesses often occur in our ranks? Do many of us practice lucid dreaming? Winter's great survey allowed us to know more about the nature of the tulpae, but what about our own nature? Unfortunately, it's quite hard to answer these questions on forum and gather statistics from the responses. So I've made a form: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dFl0M0tOWFZKZ0tVdWVCUGRFSkp4TlE6MQ Tulpaforcing exhausted my imagination so I've come up with some really basic questions, any propositions, additions and changes will be met with open arms. I'm sorry, but English is not my mother's tongue, so stylistic, grammatical (spellchecker doesn't work in survey builder) and tense errors are possible, please report me about them. Gathered data will be given in any form you'd like - xls, html, csv, pdf, plaintext... if you're respected member of this forum - I can give you access to the Google Docs spreadsheet with raw responses. "Password" field is there to allow people update their data under same nickname - would help future data-mining scripts. Please, do not use your real passwords there. Russian translation is quite sarcastic, sorry about that, will fix tomorrow, if necessary. Why Google Forms? It is anonymous. It gathers statistics and systematizes data for later analysis. Easy to parse later. Easy to manage and edit. Easy to share responses, losing some anonymity, though. It is free. Please, spend some of your time to fill this form and propose new questions or changes to make it better. For science. Link, again: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dFl0M0tOWFZKZ0tVdWVCUGRFSkp4TlE6MQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty August 24, 2012 Share August 24, 2012 For example, I haven't yet encountered anyone older than 20. I'm older than 20... and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one. I also don't have any mental illnesses. Although I refuse to fill out a survey based on the fact that I hate surveys.

QB2 August 24, 2012 Share August 24, 2012 >owners Insert nitpick on individuality of tulpas here. I filled it out though. The above post does not contain facts. q2's the host, QB's the tulpa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiahdaj August 24, 2012 Share August 24, 2012 i'm about 15-20 hours in , should i take it or not? The questions always seem to have an option for those who are not very far in. I took the survey, because I usually find surveys to be quite entertaining. The fetish question caused me to look up the exact symptoms of some of the options, and I discovered that I have a mild case of Sadistic Personality Disorder. Fun. "If this can be avoided, it should. If it can't, then it would be better if it could be. If it happened and you're thinking back to it, try and think back further. Try not to avoid it with your mind. If any of this is possible, it may be helpful. If not, it won't be." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joking aside, I'll check this out, and see what it says. I'm cool with taking surveys and such Sock Cottonwell's Sketchbook, Journal, and Ask thread.

Thore August 24, 2012 Share August 24, 2012 Well, at least this one is a lot cleaner, contrary to that Pastebin black-and-white theme. Filled it out. Looking forward to the statistics sometime. If you evade bans, we will permaban you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glitchthe3rd August 25, 2012 Share August 25, 2012 Science isn't about why, it's about why not. Why not marry safe science if you love it so much? Because you are FIRED! Yes, you. Box your stuff. Out the door. Car. Parking lot. Goodbye. jk jk, but I'm filling this out now. Added two more, so there's one for each of my tulpae.

Phi August 25, 2012 Share August 25, 2012 Does being a tulpa count as a human with unrealistic traits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
