So that reader survey that I mentioned last week is done. I'm mostly interested in seeing the changes since I've moved to Discover from ScienceBlogs. I assume that the standard 85% male readership has shifted somewhat toward more balance, but I don't know. Many of the basic demographic questions (sex, race, age, etc.) are the same, but I swapped out ones I usually ask with others. At this point I'm rather sure that a huge proportion of the readers of this weblog are introverted nerds, so I'm not going to ask about personality type and what not. I took some reader suggestions, so there are questions about what you read, as well what your somatotype is. I converted the political question to a 0 to 10 scale that I wouldn't have to recode if I did a scatter plot, and also so that it's a little more fine-grained. As usual all questions are optional. I timed it and should take you 5 minutes max, though I guess I can't account for lack of clarity in prose. If you don't see your exact response, but want to respond, I think it is totally fine to give the closest equivalent. To take the survey, click here. After you're done it'll bring you back to this website. You can review results here. Below are percentage breakdowns of last winter's survey by sex.
