Community Census (for people with and without a tulpa)

[Chupi]

Click here to take the census

 

This is a census of the tulpa community here and elsewhere. Unlike the infamous 112 question one, this one shouldn't take long to fill out and much of it is multiple choice. It's intended for everyone, regardless of whether they have a tulpa or what stage of development they're at.

 

This survey is created and maintained by Kronkleberry, who can usually be found on #redditulpas on the IRC.

 

Update: Kronkle posted a few statistics now we're at the halfway point till the survey is closed. Link for those too lazy to scroll down.

Is it just Firefox, or does this thing look fucking tiny for anyone else?

[TehEpicMan]

Nope, that font is just small.

 

I also put that in the comments section at the end XD

Does "achieving vocality" mean the first time they spoke, or when they started speaking fluently?

I'm usually also lurking in #tulpa.info, and #tulpa_ot. I'll respond to pings if I'm around.

Also note that Kronkleberry stated that he is going to close the survey in some 12 days or so.

Tulpa Census: Half-way update!

 

We are now halfway through the polling period for the Tulpa census! I'd like to remind those who've not taken it yet to sit do and fill it out. It's not that long, and quite a bit of it is multiple choice. We've gotten, at time of me writing this, 245 responses. So far that's really good, but considering that some of the communities boast over two thousand members, that's still just a tenth of everyone.

 

So the census is still open for another week. I will be closing it Monday, the 27th of May (probably right after I roll out of bed). I'll do one last reminder for people next weekend. After the census is closed, I'll begin analyzing and anonymizing the data. I'll release both my analysis, and the anonymous raw data, sometime later (Probably two weeks, but with classes and such, I can't promise an exact date).

 

So, besides that reminder, here's some easy stats that Google's pulled together up to this point.

 

@ 87% of participants claim to have a tulpa

 

@ The two largest communities represented are: Reddit, and Tulpa.info at 25% and 24% respectivly

 

@ 21% have known about tulpas for over a year, but the range from 1-6 months make up 49%

 

@ 71% view tulpas as a purely psychological phenomenon, while 3% view it as purely metaphysical or supernatural. However, 25% see it as a bit of both.

 

@ 57% have told friends or family about having a tulpa

 

That's all you get for now, I'll do a much deeper analysis after the census is closed. If you have questions or comments, I'm /u/Kronkleberry on Reddit, Kronkle on Rizon, Kronkleberry on the .info forums (I don't check there often), and KronkleAlyson on tumblr.

 

If you want to share the census with other tulpamancers, please do. Honestly. I'd thank you for it later.

 

And for those of you who've not taken it, here's the link: http://tiny.cc/TulpaCensus

Census is closed now. Results will be posted when Kronkle finishes processing them.
