I’m 5&1/6, and I am offended that being a professional mathematician scores lower than CS. Or I would be if I could program.
Don’t blame me; I don’t make the rules. Computers are more disproportionately represented in the hard core of the yudbots than mathematics, thus they are more characteristic of it.

We can recruit the Berkeley physics and math grad students for a short survey to do this!
Yes, I’m kind of thinking that redoing this with a proper survey, built empirically from the LW diaspora dataset, with a proper control group, might shed some light on what the ultimate differentiating factors are.

Well. My score changed significantly, probably due to my intuitions about being “kind-of” things being very different from the original and explicitly mentioned in this one.
Also, perhaps we should rework the “Field” questions so that they are mutually exclusive? I manage to hit all of them.
I already included that in the description:
“(choose one or none from each sub-category)”
So that means one is intended to take the single highest-scoring option from each. And illusion of transparency is obviously more significant than I had expected, even when taking illusion of transparency into account.

Nine and five-sixths.
I don’t think Yudkowsky himself would score that high.

Okay but let’s be real, this is all just “autism subtype markers”, right?
right????????
Now that you mention it, a lot of this is autism (autistic people are something like five to ten times more likely to be trans, for example), but I still think there’s something else going on, with the 50% depression rate etc. (as I suspect, there might be a specific type of badbrains that psychiatry hasn’t managed to pin down from symptoms but which has a distinct-ish etiology because “trans woman with autism, adhd, depression and/or anxiety” seems to be a very strong type)
Yudkowsky himself would be like 8-9 in my guess (in comparison, the “marxist” stereotype is quite different from what Karl Marx was), but the “yudbot” (affectionately intended) personality has something that makes it very attracted to this community/memeplex that I’d really like to tease out of the data once I start actually crunching the numbers instead of just eyeballing graphs. And it seems to be correlated with really interesting things, especially regarding gender and sexuality.
And I also need to find a control group somewhere, obviously.
