How “How Normal Are You?” works — your habit map and community figures

“Am I the only one who does this?” is a question about habits, not about who you are. This game answers it as honestly as it can: with your own answers first, and with other people’s only when there are enough of them.

How it differs from How Rare Are You?

How Rare Are You? is a questionnaire that places you on personality dimensions and profiles. How Normal Are You? has no profiles and no personality model: twenty small, benign prompts about everyday habits — mornings, screens, queues, inner monologues — each answered with one tap.

Your habit map

Each answer leans on up to five axes, by −2 to +2 per axis, as written in the game’s content:

• Routine — ritualist ↔ improviser
• Inner voice — running commentary ↔ quiet mind
• Social radar — reads the room ↔ own bubble
• Clock — early planner ↔ last-minute artist
• Senses — particular ↔ unbothered

For each axis, Wabiro adds up the lean of your answers and divides it by the largest lean the prompts allow on that axis, giving a position from −100 to +100. The axis furthest from the centre names your pattern; the second, if it also stands out (beyond ±10), adds a “streak”. When no axis stands out, your map is called balanced.

Memorable habits and contrasts

Every answer has a weight from 0 (the plain option) to 3 (a real quirk). Your three memorable habits are your three heaviest answers (on a tie, the earlier prompt). A contrast is an axis where your answers pulled both ways — the strongest habit on each side names it. When fewer than two axes have a contrast, the steadiest axes are shown instead.

Community figures

A figure like “X % of Wabiro players who added their answers also chose this” appears only when all of these are true:

• the player tapped Add my answers — analytics consent does not count;
• the figure uses the same version of the game (versions are never mixed);
• that version has at least 200 contributions, and the prompt at least 200 respondents;
• the choice was picked by at least 10 of them — otherwise no percentage is shown.

Below these thresholds the game says “Not enough responses yet”. The figures describe Wabiro players who chose to contribute — a self-selected group — not people in general, and Wabiro never estimates or invents them.

What a contribution stores

One counter per (version, prompt, choice) goes up by one, and so does the number of contributions for the version. No set of answers, no row per person, no timestamp per contribution, no IP address and no identifier is stored. Contributions are rate limited, automated traffic is ignored, and a run finished in under fifteen seconds is not counted.

Comparing with a friend

A comparison link holds only your map as five coarse positions (−2 to +2), never your answers. Your friend plays on their own device, then sees both maps side by side.

Versioning
