Mac Personality?

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)
 
I'm slightly ambidextrous, commie liberal hippie who eats sprouts, edits video, sings and writes songs, and goes hiking with my GPS. Take that as you list.
 
I try to be myself and not follow the crowd whenever possible, it's always been fun doing strange and unthought of things. I just like how Macs have almost infinite lives. Case in point, we had 2 biege G3 desktops (233 and 266 if i remember correctly) and they only died because of fragmented harddrives. almost 10 years after they were produced. I don't think any PC lives for more than 3 or 4, since most are throwaway models.
 
I had a college professor, who was a huge Mac Head. He was one of those typical professors, that his office looked like a bomb went off in. He had, at the time, a G3 PowerMac with a huge display, driving OS8.
His desktop was cluttered with files. I don't think he put anything into folders. His Mac just mirrored his own personality.
