Have you included dummy answers/Lizardman questions to test whether (e.g) people who claimed to have heard of EA are also systematically more likely to hear about fake social movements like “rational globalism” or whatever?
We’ve asked them about a few ‘schools of thought’: effective altruism, utilitarianism, existential risk mitigation, longtermism, evidence-based medicine, poststructuralism (see footnote 4 for results). But very good idea to ask about a fake one too!
(Note that we also asked participants who said they have heard of EA to explain what it is. And we then manually coded whether their definition was sufficiently accurate. That’s how we derived the 7.4% estimate.)
