I am a student at university of michigan studying psychology... I was wondering if I could get some brief answers for my survey! here it is! Thanks!~

1. When you were little, did you ever confuse your names or think that the two of you had a joint name (e.g. kim-and-sue)?

2. Were you placed in the same classes in school?

3. Do you feel that your twin fills a void that no other relationship could fill?

4. Do you and your twin have similar interests?

5. Have you faced competition between you and your twin either academically or socially?

6. Do you feel that your parents treat you as individuals, or as a unit?

7. Do you feel more comfortable being treated as an individual or as a unit?

8. What is one quality of yours that you attribute to being a twin?

9. Do you share similar friends with your twin?

10. Do you consider having a twin aa lucky circumstance? Or unlucky? (do you view your experience as a twin as positive or negative?)

We never confused our names as one

In elementary school we were in the same classes most of the time.

My sister will always fill a void no one else can fill.

We have the same interests and some different.

We are not competative

We have been treated as individuals the older we got but through school till graduation we were often treated as the "twins" and not as individuals.

Being a twin I would say has taught me what it means to be "soul" mates. We are identical and we have this attachment that non twins just cant understand, the closest they will ever come to having this feeling of closeness will be when they have children of their own and even then it is still different then the relationships between twins.

We share almost all of the same friends.

I feel blessed to have a twin. Never have I looked at it as a negative experience. In my life I am never alone, when no one will stand beside me my twin will, whether she agrees with my stand on things or not. That is true friendship
