Aghhh!!! My score is 3. I’m still learning though and hopefully I can score better next year.
I think you should give half points to some of those answers.

Holly Smolly Mike. I went from a ludite to not quite an expert (which I am far from). That dress question is still a loaded shotgun Mike. What do you think I am going to answer while she is looking over my shoulder and the feel of gun metal next to my ear. Now I have to go buy that dress with her. LOL That time of the year Mike.
I’m not a fan of this quiz. I think you may have missed the mark on this one. Unless someone receives a sparkling score, I think alot of people will be offended by your comments upon completion. I know it’s left a sour taste in my mouth (and this is after you supposedly fixed the quiz). I take pride in how much research and reading I do on investing. I’m sure I won’t be the only one offended by your quiz, considering most people reading this blog are studied investors.

From just out of the cave to 8 times better … seems I have more work to do than I thought …. not sure of the surveys perameters and relevance … fun thing to do and some thought went into the answers
Am a regular reader for the obvious reason. I will sometimes take a bit of a different slant on something you put forth–another reason for my continuing interest.
@Sean, I don’t think the scores and comments are meant to be taken too seriously, it’s just for fun:) Obviously, judging an investor would require a very different approach:)

This score reflected much more closely how I view myself and my skills or lack thereof. Always willing to learn.
I took the quiz and will link to it. Fun stuff. (I picked myself for favorite blog; that question caught me off guard! That’s the only question I didn’t like, since I like so many dividend blogs!)
[...] everyone, I hope you are all doing well. This week, we presented a fun little quiz on TheDividendGuyBlog: Do You Have What It Takes To Be A Dividend Investor? I highly recommend that you try it out, it’s meant to be fun, so don’t take the results [...]

Pretty disappointed with the analysis/calculation of my answers, not just because it’s filled with grammatical and tense errors, but that my “lack of discipline to become a successful dividend investor” was basically all I heard and that’s a million miles from the truth.
Apologies for arriving late to the party, I’ve obvioulsly been away from blog-ville this week. First of all, I really appreciate you including the Ninja as a “Favourite Dividend Blog”. Really appreciated man!
I took the survey but didn’t get any results? Hmmm I’ll try it again Hopefully I’m a somewhat competent dividend investor LOL.
That leads to my next point, this survey was fun. I think people are taking the quiz far too seriously… come on folks, its all for good fun and general interest.
Will you be publishing the survery results in another post ?
