I think it’s likely that the optimization mindset and numeracy are important proto-EA factors, just one that wasn’t measured here as they’re more difficult to measure through survey questions. Also, holding constant someone’s overall agreement with EA, I’d predict that someone with optimization mindset would have more average impact, and this outcome is more difficult to measure.
