So, how did you score? How many questions did you answer in the affirmative? More than half, more than 70%? How ‘otherwise’ do you think you are?

To date, I know only of 3 people (all male, by the way) who could be classified as ‘otherwise’. To be ‘otherwise’ is to be or feel ‘different’. ‘Classification’ sounds very un-otherwise to me, you might say. Hey, you’re probably right – don’t take the questionnaire too seriously! I do think ‘birds of a feather flock together’ though.

A not-so-good example: a Goth appears different in the general population because he or she is interested in not-so-popular types of music and dresses in black (mostly) whereas the general population adheres to more-or-less the same fashion sense and is interested in the latest musical hits. A Goth is basically against or contrary to the mainstream. An otherwise individual is similar to a Goth but doesn’t like to stand out or draw attention to themselves.
