not many yeses. makes it hard to find out what you wanted to find out.
I was just driven by vague curiosity from a discussion elsewhere about what traits might correlate with rationality.
The lack of debate background suggests (weakly because of small sample size) that debating doesn't correlate with rationality.
Maybe I'll figure out a good way to ask about the desire to argue, which I think does correlate with at least LW rationality.
Maybe most LWers went to schools where no debate programs were available?
