The questions are at http://philpapers.org/surveys/oquestions.html. The correlations can be intensely interesting to those who understand philosophical jargon (http://philpapers.org/surveys/linear_most.pl) - it doesn't take too long to look them up as you go - and I actually found it to be a fun way to learn new philosophy. I know that there was a LW thread about this several months ago, but it didn't have a section for people here to respond to the survey. I would be very interested to see how people here would respond.
I'll repost the questions here:

And... which of the following philosophers do you identify with?
The philosophers available to choose from for the "which philosophers do you identify with?" question were:
Abstract objects: Platonism or nominalism? Platonism for mathematical objects, otherwise non-platonic
Aesthetic value: objective or subjective? subjective
Analytic-synthetic distinction: yes or no? I don't know what that means.
Epistemic justification: internalism or externalism? I don't know what that means.
External world: idealism, skepticism, or non-skeptical realism? I don't know what that means.
Free will: compatibilism, libertarianism, or no free will? compatibilism, if I understand the definition
God: theism or atheism? atheism
Knowledge: empiricism or rationalism? I don't know what that means.
Knowledge claims: contextualism, relativism, or invariantism? I don't know what that means.
Laws of nature: Humean or non-Humean? I don't know what that means.
Logic: classical or non-classical? I don't know what that means.
Mental content: internalism or externalism? I don't know what that means.
Meta-ethics: moral realism or moral anti-realism? I have not made up my mind.
Metaphilosophy: naturalism or non-naturalism? I don't know what that means.
Mind: physicalism or non-physicalism? physicalism
Moral judgment: cognitivism or non-cognitivism? I don't know what that means.
Moral motivation: internalism or externalism? I don't know what that means.
Newcomb's problem: one box or two boxes? If I believe that Omega really knows me, one box.
Normative ethics: deontology, consequentialism, or virtue ethics? consequentialism, with the caveat that the human mind can't do consequentialism well and must substitute rules of thumb.
Perceptual experience: disjunctivism, qualia theory, representationalism, or sense-datum theory? I don't know what that means.
Personal identity: biological view, psychological view, or further-fact view? I don't know what that means.
Politics: communitarianism, egalitarianism, or libertarianism? a balance of the three, depending on what produces the best results
Proper names: Fregean or Millian? I don't know what that means.
Science: scientific realism or scientific anti-realism? realism, if I understand the question
Teletransporter (new matter): survival or death? survival, but it feels scary none-the-less
Time: A-theory or B-theory? I don't know what that means.
Trolley problem (five straight ahead, one on side track, turn requires switching, what ought one do?): switch or don't switch? switch, but it still feels wrong
Truth: correspondence, deflationary, or epistemic? I don't know what that means.
Zombies: inconceivable, conceivable but not metaphysically possible, or metaphysically possible? I don't know the difference between "inconceivable" and "not metaphysically possible".
