I can't see how many of the questions in the list have anything at all to do with being conventional or not.
For example, what does putting ketchup on french fries have to do with being conventional? Or preferring rock or rap music? Or being religious or patriotic? Or liking sports? And so on.

I didn't even notice this one.
Ordering a hamburger at a Chinese restaurant is some kind of sign of being conventional?
The most conventional people I've ever met wouldn't even order a hamburger at a Chinese restaurant.
For what it's worth, the only person who I have ever seen order a hamburger steak at a Chinese restaurant is someone I strongly suspect to have Aspergers.
