I definitely agree LW affiliation will be a major predictor of other results. Perhaps I should have made two sets of predictions (one for LW folks, one for others). - Jacy

One thing that would be really interesting is comparing EA-LW folks with both the standard EA answers and the standard LW survey answers.

Just to be clear, it wouldn't be "LW affiliation"; it would be "heard of EA through LW". I'm sure there are quite a few like me who learned about LW through EA, not the other way around.

There are questions both about whether you're a LessWrong member and whether you first heard of EA through LessWrong, so we can get data on both.
