I can probably be considered to be on the extreme side of individualism. I follow an unknown drive that has naturally left me to develop with no interest in having to live like others do, and having them accept me to feel complete. I haven't disappeared from the face of the Earth because I'm not anti-social; far from it, really. ;p
Mostly I seem to be waiting and hoping for something. Being social is a good way to pass the time, even though I'm not good with this social business. ;/

I'm one of those that just goes with the flow. Rolls with the punches, if you will.
So yeah, conformist.

That doesn't sound conformist. I mean, when you go with the flow, do you become the water or a piece of driftwood? The first would be a conformist, and the second neither conformist nor individualistic. An individualist would swim out of the flow.
If it's not becoming the water, no worries: you can switch your vote.

An indi-formist, you mean? You're going to make Indiana Jones? ;p
Either way, if that is so, then change your vote!

I pretty much fall into the in-between phase. I just sort of do my own thing. No attempts to significantly buck the system, but no serious attempts to fit in with it, either. I half-heartedly tried to conform in my younger years. It never worked out, as my heart wasn't really into "fitting in," so I gave up....

Stupid question: How do I do that?

Just click another option and resubmit.
Gwen:
I was a copycat throughout my childhood. By the time I was thirteen I subconsciously began to understand that I had never been a part of anything, and probably never would be, and I began to drift away from people and things. I think I'm still drifting away till this day.

I don't know. In my case, it was a subconscious realization that it was more important to hang on to my personal identity and true self than to become a cookie-cutter carbon copy in order to be more "popular." But as it was subconscious- I was pretty much just getting into high school at the time- I can't advise anyone else how to go about it.

I was actually asking Nikkou how to switch my vote (which I don't think s/he checked the "switch vote" option, since I don't see any way of clicking anything in that little box).

Haylie:
You don't see radio buttons that can be selected? I do. I was able to switch my vote to conformist and back. :O And, no, it wasn't because I'm an admin... If the option isn't set, I can't re-vote.
