Tanjir0se’s Very Scientific Superstitiousness Scale:

Level 0: not at all

I don’t believe in luck, good or bad. I don’t believe I can ‘jinx’ my own luck by saying a certain phrase. I never carry good luck charms nor do I abstain from anything others consider to be unlucky.

Level 1: A Little Stitious

I may have a lucky hat or pair of socks, but I know it’s probably mostly placebo. I will playfully try to avoid ‘jinxing’ myself (i.e. avoiding phrases like ‘as long as it doesn’t rain, we’ll be fine!’ or saying ‘Macbeth’ in a theater), but I don’t take it too seriously.

Level 2: Moderate

I change my behavior to some extent to avoid bad luck and encourage good luck. If I have an important interview coming up, I wouldn’t leave my good luck charm behind. I avoid jinxing myself and will try to avoid actions that may cause me bad luck (like avoiding cracks in sidewalks)

Level 3: Very

I will go out of my way to strictly avoid jinxing myself or unlucky things, like scheduling work or events around a full moon, not ever saying certain unlucky words or phrases, etc. I truly believe certain items are lucky (or unlucky) and treat them accordingly.

Level 4: Extreme. SUPER Stitious

I frequently and actively engage in rituals to protect myself from bad luck (holding my breath while passing a cemetery on the road, knocking on wood to prevent a jinx) and firmly believe I will receive bad luck or bad things will happen to me if I don’t do them. I change my behavior every day to avoid bad or encourage good luck and will refuse to do something I believe may bring me bad luck.
