A recent EA forum post mentioned that at the Leaders Forum 2019, around half of the participants (including key figures in EA) said that they don’t self-identify as “effective altruists”. That seems pretty high to me! So I’d be interested in hearing more from people who are hesitant to identify as effective altruists, about why that’s the case.
