76%. I feel stupid around these people, even though I’m above the national average… I guess I’m not above the Miessler average.

I scored 100. In the Expert quiz that follows this one, I scored a 98%.

Where do YOU fit in?

83%

I overestimated the death toll, and underestimated the Dow.

I call that an 83% with a +/- 10% pessimism factor.

THe only question I got wrong was on the DJIA (and a few days ago when it was under 11000 I'd have been right). I thought that the question was checking if people were aware of the recent drop in the market.

Quite easy questions. I'd expect that people who pay any real attention to the news would do quite well.

12 out of 12 right, 97th percentile. I think that makes me some kind of traitor.

I’m only 21 and I scored 83%. Then again, I am an NPR-addicted political science student.
