It's interesting to compare these results to those of the 2014 Survey of Effective Altruists. These will be released soon, but here are some initial ways in which effective altruists who took this survey compare to LessWrong census takers:

  • Somewhat less male (75% vs 87%)
  • More in the UK
  • Equally atheist/agnostic
  • More consequentialist (74% vs 60%)
  • Much more vegan/vegetarian (34% vs 10%)
  • Witty, attractive, and great company at parties

For someone who isn't an EA, and therefor shouldn't take this survey, is there a place where we can see the results?

AFAIK, the results aren't out yet, but they'll go on effective-altruism.com when they are.

Correct, Peter Hurford is working on them and will I believe finish them soon.
