https://forms.gle/HgPE9aayW2Gbfd4WA 5 very casual unscientific questions, all optional, on Google Forms, share the URL with and/or tag folks you think would be up for taking part, especially if you think they won’t have seen this! I’ll put the results here when I feel like it. :) Edit: I added a …

just so you know, you can also make a poll here in the forum: [forum-poll]

Yeah, the spreadsheet of responses doesn’t contain email addresses or location or any other identifying information, so the only way I’d be able to tell who’s who is if I somehow could search for people who have exactly this number of IDs and observations, and it’d only work if no one observed or ID…

Hey that’s cool, I wonder why no one did that in the “why are 80% of iNat people men?” thread. :thinking:

Looking forward to seeing the results.

Filled. But what is this for? Might make it more worth people’s time if the purpose/objective were known. :)

It’s a survey to see how many will fill out surveys if the subject is not offered up front!

Nosiness! Inspired partly by this thread though: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/why-is-inat-male-dominated/6533

I am also curious about the demographics of the curators and how many users are employed in (or retired from or students in) the natural sciences. I feel very lucky to be employed in the field of my degree where I also get to use iNat at work.

Very brief survey of iNat users
