I'm very glad to see you doing this. I was going to try something similar (see the discussion here ) but I got lazy and distracted and I probably wasn't up to the data processing tasks anyway.

I was throwing together a questionnaire here. You're welcome to look over it and take any questions you think are interesting.

The survey's goals were different from yours - it was more of an attempt to collect information on Less Wrong members - but enough of the questions look similar to yours that you might be interested in seeing the rest.

Most questions benefit from an "other" field - there's always an awkward bugger that doesn't quite fit. There are quite a few of your questions I'd like to choose the "other" answer on.

If some mad hacker adds a polls feature to the LessWrong codebase (which could be fun), they should have the code mandate an other answer on all polls...
