What is your Decisional Fallout Condition (DEFCON)?

[MJ DeMarco]

Curious to how the community scores...

This is the test that appears early on in Choose Hard, Live Easy.

Most people lie on this test.

I gave the test to 3 different AIs and they all said the "average person" would score 50s.

What is DEFCON?

Inspired by the military's five-level Defense Condition scale, your Decisional Fallout Condition reveals how compromised or how fortified your life really is based on the decisions you've made over your lifetime.

Your life is the sum of your choices.

I scored an 88, Defcon 4.



Your results will be anonymously tabulated so you can get a read on where you stand among all submissions, including where most people are falling behind.

What did you score?

And how much did you lie?
