I tend to be in the other category when by myself and unfamiliar people. If it's with friends I know pretty well, then it can go both ways, usually I end up being follower either because I don't feel the need to lead something, or because someone else has a bigger mouth (usually the bigger mouth).

Depending on the situation I can be either of the three. More often than not, I am the leader with the kind work ethic that spells "efficiency". Mind you I hate leading people, starting things, deciding stuff, etc. However...you have those who like to not be proactive about anything so I have to play the fearless leader. In situations where I am in unfamiliar territory, I'm going to be the follower and I will point out errors in the leaders logic if I notice any. Err this can lead to me converting over to Mr.leader(being me sucks sometimes).

Being in the background or what you call other is a rare thing for me.

I tend to Follow, but never blindly. Usually I'm just out there as Other, doing my own thing, but every so often people like whatever I'm doing with my Other style so then I get to be a Leader. :P

i guess i'm a mix of all three? it just depends who i'm with at the moment... but most of time in the group of friends I'm in, we kinda go with wadever the majority wants for most stuff tat we do

I am hands-downs a leader type. Not because I want to be, mind you. I would probably be happy somewhere lost in the middle of the ranks.

I think my drive to get shit done and be productive is what always puts me ahead of the crowd. People will do as little as they possibly can - especially if someone else is willing to lead the way.

I think it may also have to do with my....uh....interesting way of seeing things. I don't really INSPIRE anyone to do anything, but people will usually crowd up with me.

This happens a LOT in life to me. I'm unsure as to why. Oftentimes, I'd rather just be by myself, enjoying my silence.

Depends on the situation. If it's an issue I feel comfortable with I'm a leader. If it's not, I'm a follower until I learn more about it.

Win.


I'm sometimes a Crowd Follower, but not to the definition that you mentioned.

I'm a mix between all of them.

In highschool I was the crowd leader, of alot of crowds. I'd be setting stuff up even if it isn't my event because everyone always thought I had connections and knew everyone. People would trust me to make stuff happen outside of school. I can't even understand why, I kept to myself the first 2 years of highschool and was the shy/quiet type. Yet I ended up being the most popular at the end.

In university I've been trying to become the follower/other type. If the chance comes along and someone else sets something up, I'd gladly follow. Or else I'd sit the fence. But I've been avoiding setting anything up, my nature gets the better of me sometimes though :P.

I'm an other, but for some reason peple like to follow me ala crowd leader.

I love watching people on the fences (not literally), taking in conversations and getting lost in MY thoughts rather than others. I input a bit here and there and after that I fade back into the background and watch the whole thing again.

But yet people always look highly of me and, using this thread's example, if I turn left they turn left. I never like being the leader but people are always telling me to make the decisions. And when I do, they don't like it but they still put up with it. Bonus?

In conclusion, I'm an other that people think of as a crowd-follower.

I'm the other. I'm no leader, i'm no follower. I'm walking my own path and let everything behind me. I'm just myself.

I'm in the other character. I don't do what any of my friends do and i don't want to. I just do my own thing regardless of what anyone else wants me to do. I used to be a Follower but i soon got bored of that so i just detached myself from all of that and did whatever the hell i wanted to do

In real life, I am a follower. I just do what everyone else does. My suggestions are usually ignored (joy). I'm just not pro-active/confident enough to be a team leader.

When it comes to games, however, I'm an Other. I tend to do my own thing and go to places nobody defends to help the team out.

I don't know what you would call me.

I attract crowd leaders, who follow my lead. But their "followers" never do, and so I am both sort of a leader and an other. Probably more the other. In a crowd of people I have to put up with because my friend is the leader of it, I am usually really disliked, probably because I've put myself in a group without being friends with everyone.

Other
Something about being part of a group scares me... maybe because it has this striking similarity to cults.
And I hate being the leader...I don't want to take responsibility for everyone and something creeps me out when people blindly follow you

I'm a crowd leader. I have more initiatives than most of my friends do. I usually become the conceptor and direct people what they do and don't. But incase there is more dominant person than me, I will usually become the follower.

I hope it's not a bad thing. You know I recently grow tired of becoming leader, it feels like you hold the biggest responsibilty in the group. Just thinking my burdens giving me headache, esp. when people think I will be the one to take care all sort of things. Perhaps, I'm just being used by my irresponsible friends after all.

Hmm...I like to be a 'crowd leader', but in truth, I'm either a 'crowd follower' or 'other.' Why? Like most people have already stated here, it depends on what's in discussion. Whether I sway one way or the other depends on whether or not I'm interested in the topic at hand. If I agree with the majority of the group, I'll shut up and allow the noisy ones take over. It gets kind of redundant listening to the same arguments over and over again. The professor will hopefully take the hint that everyone agrees and end the lecture early and then i can go to karaoke with the people who really matter the most... =D
The only times I'll go 'against the flow' is when I actually give a crap about the subject, feel that one side is totally misunderstood, and therefore create a separate group of my own.
