Human selves are fascinating, and not nearly enough is known about them. Therefore, I am on a mission to collect and freely distribute 1 million human identity observations.

This website - Ipseity Daily - documents the progress.

How Ipseity Daily Works

I am Dr. Jason Jeffrey Jones, and I like to ask people Does <signifier> describe you today?.

An identity <signifier> is a word, phrase or emoji that individuals have used to describe themselves. Examples are: dad, American, trusting, Cleveland Browns fan.

Every day, I survey a new random sample of American adults.

So far, I have observations for 707 signifiers from 3,981 respondents.

All my data is freely and openly available.
