This test supposedly predicts your "luck quotient", but I am not sure I believe it. My own results surprised me, especially considering my life these past three years, which has been rather unlucky. Anyway, you can take the luck test yourself (and hopefully share your score with me!) and you can see my score below the fold.
| Your Luck Quotient: 51% |
 You have an average luck quotient. There's been times when you've been extremely lucky... but also times when you've been very unlucky. You probably know that you can make your own luck in life, if you're open to it. So listen to your intuition as much as you can. It's right more often than you might expect. |

Hmmph. It gave me 41%, which is still in their "average" range. I may be shy, habit-bound, and cautious, but I still think I'm a heckuvalot luckier than that!
Right... Anyway, get well soon, and go out:
Your Luck Quotient: 72%
You have a high luck quotient.
More often than not, you've felt very lucky in your life.
You may be randomly lucky, but it's probably more than that.
Optimistic and open minded, you take advantage of all the luck that comes your way.
50%.
Not that I understand what some of those questions had to do with luck...
13%
The questions strike me as a clumsy attempt to determine whether the test taker acts as if they perceive themselves as lucky.
I would expect a scientist to get close to 50% on such a test.
I got a lower score (62%) but the same blurp as alfons (see above comment).
The "optimism" part might be why I got a reasonably decent score. Am I actually lucky? Maybe, but my perception of "luck" probably differs from the mainstream. I don't consider myself at all lucky in games or similar, but I suppose I'm what some might call lucky at seeing wildlife when I go off hiking in the bush with my cameras. I don't really consider that luck so much as knowing where and when to looks for things, but other people seem to regard it as luck.
