Survey I did asking people who do you know? ~3300 responses. Highest possible score is 4 (e.g., "someone who is alive right now"), lowest possible score is 0 (e.g., "someone who has been to mars")| Switched major political party as an adult: 1.93 Tested positive for covid: 1.84 Victim of r*pe: 1.74 Trump voter: 1.7 Medical Doctor: 1.54 Polyamorous: 1.34 Transgender: 1.24 Practicing Muslim: 1.23 Fundamentalist Christian: 1.18 Committed suicide: 1.15 Permanent psychotic break: 1.1 Explicit racist: 0.95 1+ years of incarceration: 0.92 Diagnosed with lung cancer: 0.92 No-contact sex worker (e.g., camgirl, stripper): 0.84 Homeless for 3+ months: 0.82 Homeschooled for k-12: 0.75 Famous (defined as "news outlets write about their life"): 0.6 Contact-based sex worker: 0.52 Orthodox Jew: 0.51 Murdered: 0.49 Died from covid: 0.43 Lottery (10k or more): 0.34 p*do (with high certainty): 0.33 Didn't learn to read as a kid: 0.3 Sex Trafficking victim: 0.1 Weight was 4 for "this applies to me", 3 for "this applies to a close friend", 2 for "this applies to a casual friend", and 1 for "this applies to someone in the community who I don't know personally." Respondents could only choose 1 option, and were instructed to choose the highest weighted option that did apply, if multiple applied. I double weighted answers from people who passed a test to see if they'd read the instructions. Nearly all respondents were male, strong majority were white, and most were between the ages of 27-37 and live in the US. This image is the correlation of each answer with all the other answers. The sample size was so high that these are pretty reliable, but keep in mind most other surveys have lower sample sizes and you shouldn't typically trust mass correlation checking like I'm doing here. I'd pay attention to numbers around 0.09 and higher; if it's 0.08 or lower it's more likely to have appeared "on accident". Blue means a stronger correlation, red is lower/no correlation.
