Parallel to the tail-count-poll I think it'd be interesting to see how people see everyone else on here.
How many tails do you think all the other foxes have in average?
And will the result be the same as in the tail-count-poll? Will it be higher? Will it be lower?
We'll have to see.
Since I don't beleive that tails get carried over upon reincarnation, and fox-lore rather clearly states that it takes a fox a hundered years to grow a second tail, I'm going with a meager "1" on this.

I am tempted to say 6, because many kitsune here are still young ones while there are also many elders as well. I also think I heard a lot about an average number of 6 tails between most kitsune I met.

Hey, pretty accurate estimation so far.
Self-claimed average tail-count: 3.4
Estimated average tail-count: ~3.7

All in all, I'd say I imagine the most common number of tails is two.

Most of the people that I've seen seemed a little intelligent/wise, but it was tempered by the foolishness of youth.  I'm not really talking about physical youth, here, more spiritual.  Really quick example: some people who are really, REALLY, confused about certain things, but occasionally 'hit the nail on the head,' to quote a recent post by Kuro.

I'd say the average count is about 4 from observation here (not an actual count).

I'd be more inclined to 2.  We have a few members who have many tails, and the experiences to back them up, but only a few.

Actually, I think I want to change my vote to 2 as well. I agree with the above post. Also, few? More likenearly non-existent.
