While browsing in a book store I came across an intriguing book, Eccentrics "A Study of Sanity and Strangeness," by David Weeks and Jamie James.

The authors discovered that almost all eccentrics are:

1. Noncomforming (by definition!)

2. Creative

3. Strongly motivated by curiosity

4. Idealistic. Wants to make the world a better place.

5. Happily obsessed with one or more hobbyhorses (usually five or six).


Eccentrics also tend to be:

6. Intelligent

7. Outspoken, convinced that they are right

8. Possessed of a mischievious sense of humor



The authors also wrote that eccentrics tend to be happier and possess better mental health than the rest of the population.

Welcome to the forum Tim, you've come in with a bang here, thanks for that definition, I think I fit in there.

I saw a program on Leonardo Da Vinci the other night, I think he would fit the bill too, and apart from questionable morality, he sounded a truly amazing man.
