Not adequately, sorry. You talk about respondent fatigue, but in such a short survey, do you really think it's an issue?

Why do you think they lack a causal model?

If this is true, the timeline is very screwed. This survey should predate an article that mentions SO is a hostile environment for minorities (The article predates the new CoC)

@anonymous I agree. They missed many other potentially relevant demographics, for example national origin; income; disability status; language fluency. The fact that they asked for only age, race, and gender shows they have already implicitly selected those categories as the variables they care about. For example, I would think that national origin and language fluency might have very large impacts on satisfaction with Stack Overflow.

@MarkBeadles sure, if they want to include other (potentially better) demographics, then sure, I'd be all for it
