Playing the odds
This is my favorite little web app today. I blame jezebel.com for bringing this ... distraction into my life.
If you are married before the eyes of God, in your heart, or simply in some state, take it, it's a hoot.
My results:
People with similar backgrounds who are already divorced: 7%
People with similar backgrounds who will be divorced over the next five years: 9%
Jeff's results:
People with similar backgrounds who are already divorced: 12%
People with similar backgrounds who will be divorced over the next five years: 7%
* In general for the five-year divorce prediction rates, those with less than 3 percent are at lower
risk, 3 - 7 percent are of average risk and more than 7 percent are at higher risk.
Oddly, it's sexist, if you are female it asks if you have children, but not if you are male.
Check out my results if I did NOT have kids:
People with similar backgrounds who are already divorced: 39%
People with similar backgrounds who will be divorced over the next five years: 12%
Damn! Probability doesn't lie. Kids do make you stay married longer.
