Ipseity Daily Data

At what rate do individuals say they are X?

Begining on 2025-07-08, I surveyed a small random sample of American adults on a daily cadence.  They responded to many items of the form: Does <signifier> describe you today?

The file ipseity-daily-aggregated.csv in this repository contains the aggregated results through 2025-07-28.  The columns are as follows:

signifier - a word, phrase or emoji

yes_count - the number of respondents who answered yes (aggregated all-time).

no_count - the number of respondents who answered no (aggregated all-time).

prevalence_per_10k - an estimate of the prevalence per 10,000.  If we were to survey 10,000 American adults, how many would we expect to respond yes to this signifier?  The number is calculated as yes_count / (yes_count + no_count) * 10,000.

earliest_obs_date - this date represents the first time this particular signifier was ever displayed to a respondent.  Signifiers are chosen with stochasticity from a long list; new signifiers are sometimes added, old signifiers are sometimes deleted, and a signifier may be moved higher or lower in priority for sampling.

latest_obs_date - the date closest to the present date on which signifier was most recently presented to a respondent.
