Actually, no. There are lots of causes that bronies raise money for. There is only one brony tax-exempt charity. Splitting hairs, perhaps.

And even though you may not care to make us your charity of choice, I find it a bit offputting that you seem to be going out of your way to discourage others from donating. We spend a lot of personal time and effort (and our own money!) raising funds for charity. It's somewhat discouraging that some folks seem to have nothing better to do than to try and tear us down.

Even if you disliked the original project it sprung from, it was over and done in 2012. We have been solely focused on fundraising for charities for over a year, and donate only to tax-exempt causes such as the Jimmy Fund, Engineers Without Borders, and CalArts.

Leaving apart personal opinions about the ad, we're operating solely as a charity now, and restricted by IRS regulations to donations to charitable causes.

And then they'll make an anime out of the manga, and The Ocean Group can dub it in English, and hire the MLP cast (many of whom they already have used) to do the voices, and then MLPception will be complete!

The problem is, if you don't split it off, people self-report it. Likely approach for next year will be to have a separate "Are you hispanic/latino/etc" question, and limit the race question to the US census choices. Of course, we also had a ton of Europeans who seem to thinks that country of birth equals race as well...

Because it was free and readily available. I'm totally aware of the MBTI criticisms, and moving forward we'll be switching over to the "Big 5", including some planned peer-reviewed research that's being plotted for the summer.

I'm going to start with the caveat that I learned my statistics by osmosis from my PhD candidate wife, but I went and reran the CI numbers for a 1048 person sample of a 200,000,000 person population with a reported percentage of 3.4% (which is just the people reporting a "5" on the survey), and for a 95% CI, the interval is 1.17, meaning a high of 4.6% (rounding), and a low of 2.2%. That puts the total number (just for "5"s) at 4.4 million to 9.2 million.

Unless I'm grossly abusing CI in some subtle way, I stand by that number. I'll be more than happy to entertain the idea that the Google sample was biased in some way, but the math seems right to me.

Actually, as I mentioned in the article, the rejection rate for my survey was right on the numbers for Google's baseline, indicating it was answered at almost exactly the same rate as their baseline questions.
