Reader Survey Final Check-In

Scott Alexander is finalizing preparations for a Reader Survey, asking participants to confirm their inclusion and make necessary adjustments before the Friday start date. Longer summary
Scott Alexander is preparing for a Reader Survey and is asking participants to confirm their inclusion in the list of surveys. He provides a list of surveys planned, noting some specifics about targeting and demographics collection. Scott also shares a link to a draft demographics survey and asks participants to review it, make necessary changes to their own surveys, and finalize everything before Friday when he plans to start the process. Shorter summary

I accidentally missed some Book Review Contest entries, so I want to make sure I have everything lined up right for the Reader Survey. Below is a list of surveys I’m currently planning to include. If you sent me an email before the deadline, please confirm that your name is there. If it’s not, please don’t email me about it - we’ve already established that I don’t get your emails for some reason. Instead, leave a comment below with your information.

The list:

- A on biostasis/cryonics
- T on male homosexuality ***
- A on health-related quality of life
- N on uniformity illusion ***
- K on digital literacy
- E on depression (targeted at depressives)
- ...and on weight loss
- S on political compressability
- G on bullshit jobs
- R on moral curiosity
- T on autogynephilia (targeting trans women)
- ...and sexual fantasies
- C on psychedelics (targeting people who have tried them)
- K on business (targeting people in tech)
- D on incest ***
- M on personality
- D on meditation
- R on gender identity
- ...and rhymes (targeting non-native English speakers)

Surveys with a *** don’t ask for user ID. While you’re not required to do that, consider adding a question about it in if you want increased demographic information about your respondents.

Please also let me know if I got who to target your survey at wrong.

This is my preliminary draft of the generic demographics collecting survey. Please check it out if you’re running your own survey here. If it doesn’t collect some demographic you want on your survey, please edit your survey to collect it yourself. If your survey repeats something that this one already collects, you can probably remove it.

I’ll probably get this started this Friday, so make any changes you need before then.
