Am I Normal? It's common to wonder whether we're normal, but we might want to use caution.
But what does normal even mean, anyway?
Well, I guess that depends on how you define it. Since the 1500s, we’ve attached a host of other meanings to the term. Here are a few:
“Conforming to the standard or the common type; usual; not abnormal; regular; natural”
“Serving to establish a standard”
“Approximately average in any psychological trait, as intelligence, personality, or emotional adjustment”
“Free from any mental disorder; sane”
