I agree that it would be worth splitting out probability and statistics … as for the rest, I’m not sure, it might be getting too specific. QM is interesting for Yvain’s question about MWI.
The possible responses should be fairly concrete: a) I know less on this topic than an average undergraduate major at an average U.S. university, e.g. Michigan State
to f) I am making research contributions to the cutting edge of this field
Why a general category for humanities? “Humanities” could mean anything from art to philosophy to literary criticism. Philosophy, at least, should be its own topic.
How educated do you consider yourself on the following topics:
Economics
World affairs / political geography
Energy / climate change / pollution / ecology
Law
Psychology / neurology
Biology / medical science
Artificial intelligence
Maths and Physics
(any others of interests? These are biased towards important on frequent topics here)
Split psychology from neuroscience
Maths and physics deserve finer classification: specific areas of interest might include
Probability and statistics
QM
Complexity theory
not sure what the word is for the field that would cover Godel, Turing, Kolmogorov, Chaitin etc
Kolmogorov and Chaitin is probably “algorithmic information theory”.
Theoretical Computer science?

Make a general category for Humanities, and make Applied Statistics distinct from Math.
Added: Make a separate category for Philosophy as well.
