I imagine that for many people, including me (including you?), once we work on [what we believe to be] preventing the world from ending, we would only move to another job if it was also preventing the world from ending, probably in an even more important way.
In other words, I think “working at a 2nd x-risk job and believing it is very important” is mainly predicted by “working at a 1st x-risk job and believing it is very important”, much more than by personality traits.
This is almost testable, given we have lots of people working on x-risk today and believing it is very important. But maybe you can easily put your finger on what I’m missing?
