Under "Response details" you can switch to coarse and hit refresh for a simpler overview of the responses.
"The PhilPapers Survey was a survey of professional philosophers and others on their philosophical views, carried out in November 2009. The Survey was taken by 3226 respondents, including 1803 philosophy faculty members and/or PhDs and 829 philosophy graduate students.
The PhilPapers Metasurvey was a concurrent survey of professional philosophers and others concerning their predictions of the results of the Survey. The Metasurvey was taken by 727 respondents including 438 professional philosophers and PhDs and 210 philosophy graduate students."
Anyway, this is interesting to me because it just so happens to display why I changed from having philosophy as my second major to just minoring in it. I've added the "finer" results, because it is the most interesting to me, as someone with an interest in philosophy, but the "coarse" details are interesting from a sociological/anthropological point of view.
The God question is especially interesting. It demonstrates more of a cultural movement in universities to predominantly focus on 'philosophy of science'. And as someone once said, "Philosophy of science is about as useful to scientists as ornithology is to birds".
