One of the reasons I felt like throwing up a quick survey (note: primary reason was because it was fun and easy) was to get more in touch with making surveys and finding out how LWers feel about them. I have quite high error bars on how many will respond to this, and will update based on it.
For example I can imagine moving from one massive schelling survey to regular smaller surveys throughout the year.
Either way, do want to get back to doing a high quality survey for the audience. Not my current project (which is the LW book), but can imagine focusing on it next.
We could give people an identifier (e.g. random number) to enter each time, or perhaps incorporate the survey into the LW site directly to associate it with your account.
(It’s probably the wrong call, but I do want to think about it some more.)
We used to have high quality census surveys and it’s been a while since the last one happened.

That means you can see a lot less for the same amount of survey taking because you don’t see how various questions relate to each other.

There was a smaller one here: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/yn4Aw6jejS3SHKuzu/2020-lesswrong-demographics-survey-results It was not promoted to frontpage post, but had some interesting results nonetheless.
