About Study:

We are interested in understanding peoples everyday experiences, from the normal to the more unusual, and how these relate to different aspects of personality and social and creative experiences. The aim is to better understand how certain traits may have evolved based on the characteristics they might link to, such as creativity. This survey is open to everyone, and it does not matter if you consider yourself someone who does not have 'unusual experiences'. By unusual we just mean less common.
