I don’t think participants in the Good Judgment tournaments that IARPA sponsored back in the day were overwhemingly male. From memory, women were about 30% of the forecaster pool, which isn’t too bad, and really quite good when you compare to other nerdy online things like editing Wikipedia.
“women were about 30% of the forecaster pool” and “80% of research analyst applicants were male” aren’t very far apart, especially since the former is from memory and the latter is a small sample.
(I did a bit of looking trying to find the gender breakdown of Good Judgement Project volunteers, without success)
