Mac Personality?

[Rhisiart]

I wonder whether Apple devotees have a certain character trait/personality type, that makes them different from PC users (I am referring to users that specifically go out to buy a Mac, as opposed to being stuck with whatever they have to use at work)?

Are they more obsessive, more creative, better looking (if so I will make an outstanding exception)?

Do they take more care of themselves, are they more out going or more introverted?

OK, this isn't a randomised controlled trial. Highly subjective and of course self-reporting has a high error/bias. Yet I think we ought to know.

From what I have seen Mac people (including myself) seem to be a bit more open minded, and willing to try things. I think there's definitely more of a vibe of creativity among mac users as well.

Well, I've made an exhaustive, in-depth study of this matter and have found, conclusively, that we Mac owners are: elitist, pretentious, arrogant, reclusive, hightly erratic, tending toward bizarre sexual practices, paranoid/schizophrenic, foul smelling, pot heads, drunkards, difficult to live with, obnoxious, anal retentive, and definitely more creative.

and left handed .. of the people in this house, all use mac, and 4 are left handed and only 2 are right handed. the last two people who moved out were left handed too so we used to have one right handed person at the house..

In the earlier days, I think using a Macintosh made a statement that your were not typical, nor a sheep blindly following the herd.

I think Mac users are just lazier. Can't be bothered with unnecessary system messages, daily virus-description updates etc. When I open my PowerBook, I want my system to be ready. Not ready to get ready. Or ready to be rebooted in order to get updated in order to need a reboot in order to get ready.

Left handed... I missed that one, but as I think aobut my friends and I that use Macs, we are all lefties as well. Go figure.

lefty. also anal retentive and perfectionist. i love details. mac gives me that. (like the way in dashboard, the add widget symbol is a plus sign, which rotates to become the remove witdget cross sign. very nice)
