Thanks for sharing the quiz.

I scored a 29 which just into above average. I believe I am more below average to average. I think some of the questions are more about understanding statistics versus risk.

For example, I chose 5% chance of $100,000 vs $1000 for sure. In my opinion, this question was about choosing the statiscally best option versus risk tolerenece. The statistical value of choice 1 is $5000 and choice 2 is $1000.

On the other hand, there were many questions about risk tolerance - e.g. invest in stocks or CDs?
