Reddit user spiceman54j has conducted a small survey of jailbreakers on reddit and created a very nice infographic to display the results.

Notably, the average jailbreaker is a teenage boy, living in the U.S. He has advanced technical skills, would spend $16.93 to jailbreak, uses an iPhone 4S or 5, and has 28 tweaks installed.

If you would like add yourself to the survey the form can be found here.

If you would like to become a jailbreaker you can find instructions using the iClarified Jailbreak Wizard.

I also like how they assume that ALL jailbreakers are iOS users.

That's one of the worst surveys I've ever seen!! 3 tweaks is the minimum!? iPhone 4S or older?! Colorful shapes in various sizes with no basis for measure?! This is beyond worthless. Someone took time to make a unusable chart, AND HINDREDS OF PEOPLE FILLED IT OUT!!

I think it's important to note that "Average jailbreaker" is not an accurate title. "Average jailbreaker that frequents /r/jailbreak on Reddit" is much more accurate. The extra caveat explains why the demographics is skewed so heavily towards teenagers, twenty-somethings, and males (these three groups make up the majority of the user base that frequents Reddit).

No being able to make things out is common when there's some sort of mental disorder involved..
