This demonstrates a major flaw in Hunch. There is huge selection bias. I answered this, and got a 74%. Right on the page is another question asking me "Do you agree with this result?".
I claim a few things: 1) people who are in startups or want to be in startups are more likely to take this quiz. 2) People in this group are more likely to say they have a good idea.
I had a similar problem with the question "what college should I go to?". The quiz did a good job of telling me which colleges I wanted to go to, with no regard to whether I had the grades to get into those schools.
- froo 17y agoYeah I'm still wrestling with many aspects of the startup I'm putting together. I answered the questions and got a 99%, but I'm not entirely sure of its accuracy. I decided to click "No" for the Do you agree with this result? as a 99% score seemed a little too certain for me (I'm always questioning things that look too good to be true). To be honest, I did it for a laugh. The results didn't validate my idea for me, really it's just a matter of working hard at it.
