The Less Wrong General Census is unofficially here! You can take it at this link.
The oft-interrupted annual tradition of the Less Wrong Census is once more upon us!
If you are reading this post and identify as a LessWronger, then you are the target audience. If you are reading this post and don’t identify as a LessWronger, you just read posts here or maybe go to house parties full of rationalists or possibly read rationalist fanfiction and like talking about it on the internet, or you’re not a rationalist you’re just, idk, adjacent, then you’re also the target audience.
If you want to just spend five minutes answering the basic demographics questions before leaving the rest blank and hitting submit, that’s totally fine. The survey is structured so the fastest and most generally applicable questions are (generally speaking) towards the start. At any point you can scroll to the bottom and hit Submit, though you won’t be able to add more answers once you do. It is about 2/3rds the size of last year’s survey if that helps.
The survey shall remain open from now until at least January 1st, 2025. I plan to close it sometime on Jan 2nd.
I don’t work for LessWrong, but I do work on improving rationalist meetups around the world. Once the survey is closed, I plan to play around with the data and write up an analysis post like this one sometime in late January.

Remember, you can take the survey at this link.
Ancient tradition is that if you take the survey you can comment here saying you took the survey, and people upvote you for karma.
