New On-Line Study Examining Connection Between Personality Traits and Philosophical Beliefs

Brian Leiter

Jesse Prinz (CUNY Grad Center) writes: 

One of my students, Geoff Holtzmann, is running a study on the relationship between personality traits and philosophical beliefs among both laypeople and philosophers. The study involves a 20-minute survey which includes a personality inventory, some demographic questions, and nine philosophical prompts.  Would you be able help us recruit philosophers?  For the purposes of this study, this means anyone who either holds a Ph.D., a D. Phil, or is ABD.  Any help you could provide in helping us recruit would be greatly appreciated.  Geoff can be contacted at this e-mail address , and the survey is up and running here.
