Scott announces the annual ACX reader survey for 2025, offering free subscriptions to random participants and highlighting interesting findings from previous years. Longer summary
Scott Alexander announces the 2025 ACX Survey, a yearly tradition that helps him understand his readership while enabling him to investigate interesting hypotheses and replicate psychological findings. He references several interesting findings from past surveys, including studies on birth order effects and sexual harassment rates in different fields. The post includes a link to this year's survey and mentions a reward of free one-year paid subscriptions for five random participants. Shorter summary
Recurring tags: survey methodology (11), blog community (9), study replication (5), psychological research (5), ACX survey (4), reader analysis (2)

Each year, I post a reader survey. This helps me learn who’s reading this blog. But it also helps me try to replicate psych findings and investigate interesting hypotheses. Some highlights from past years include birth order effects, mathematical interests vs. corn-eating style, sexual harassment victimization rates in different fields, whether all our kids are going to have autism, wisdom of inner crowds, failed replication of anti-vax polls, and Internet addiction.

This year’s survey will probably take 20 - 30 minutes. As an incentive to go through this, I’ll give free one-year paid subscriptions to five randomly-selected survey respondents. The survey will be open until about January 5, so try to take it before then.

Click here to take the survey. If you notice any problems, please ask yourself “Is this a real objection rather than a nitpick? Is there a single person in the world who will genuinely be confused/upset with this wording?” - and if the answer is yes, comment here so I can fix it.
