I'm very happy that this survey is being retaken! Looking forward to seeing the results.
Taken. My two cents as everyone's:
Under academic field, there were specific fields for statistics and "other hard sciences" but not a specific field for abstract mathematics, which I was surprised by.
agree with others that the political categories were too linear and a libertarian socialist option would have been nice.
My estimate for Newton's Principia was off by 27 years... so my confidence was a bit high but not too much.
None for physics either.
But physics is clearly a hard science?
