Take The 2026 ACX Survey
Scott announces the 2026 ACX annual reader survey, which takes 30-45 minutes and helps investigate psychological findings, with one respondent winning a free paid subscription.
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 30 - 45 minutes. As an incentive to perform this public service, I’ll give a free one-year paid subscriptions to one randomly-selected survey respondent (subject to a challenge, which you can find at the bottom). The survey will be open until about September 10, so try to take it before then.
