    Eccentricity (also called quirkiness) is an unusual or odd behavior on the part of an individual.

Eccentricity is contrasted with normal behavior, the nearly universal means by which individuals in society solve given problems and pursue certain priorities in everyday life. People who consistently display benignly eccentric behavior are labeled as "eccentrics".
