I saw that video on TED and took the Risk Intelligence test. GOOD info.

Others to read are about our tendency to put cause and effect on many phenomena that are simply random in nature: Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets and The Black Swan (both by Nassim Nicholas Taleb ) and the wonderful The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives by Leonard Mlodinow

It is of UTMOST importance to realize that MOST outcomes were multifactorial in causation and the majority have NO inner "structure."
