Thanks for the suggestion! We can certainly add something about this to the landing page. [And have now done so]
I would also note that this text is usually also already included where the survey is distributed. i.e. when the survey is distributed through the EA Newsletter or CEA social media, it will go out with a message like “If you think of yourself, however loosely, as an “effective altruist,” please consider taking the survey — even if you’re very new to EA! Every response helps us get a clearer picture” before people see the survey. That kind of message didn’t seem so necessary on the EA Forum announcement, since this is already a relatively highly engaged audience.
