From my Evernote tag for prospective census questions:
On average how many days do you eat meat per week? (Y/N) Did you eat meat yesterday? (Y/N)
Having those two questions together is a test for self honesty.
This is interesting because previous data suggest that moral philosophers do poorly on it.
I would prefer such question above the identity labels of vegetarian/vegan/paleo-eater. I could also be interesting to have it in addition.
Other easy wins: The Squatty Potty, magnesium supplements, meditation, and donating blood if you are male.
I would be interested in questions regarding those factors:
Is the toilet you use at your home the most a Squatty Potty? (Y/N) Did you donate blood in the last year? (Y/N)
I’m not sure how to word questions for meditation and magnesium supplements.
Squatty Potty/blood donations are the most interesting for me.

Quantified Self:
Have you ever made an effort to record personal data for future analysis and stuck with it for >1 month? (Y/N)
I would again like to have a question measuring spaced repetition usage (I think there was a good one in the 2013 census.
