15 things I’ve learned about millionaires after interviewing 150 over 3 years

Who would have ever thought we’d make it this far in the Millionaire Interview series?

Back when I began with the very first interview I had no idea that these interviews would be as popular as they are.

Here we are three years later and a century and a half of interviews completed.

There are many more lined up, so we’ll be at this for a while before we run out of steam (if we ever do). That said, we can always use more, so email me if you’re interested in telling your story.

I like to take these milestones to stop and pause (like I did when we completed the first 100), to look back at what we’ve learned so far. That’s what I’d like to do today.

So in the diagram, how many squares did you make out in total; how many squares are there?

Well, most people get or give 16 as their answer. Some get 17 and a few get 21; and that’s at least better than the ‘16’ answer majority of people give. Just about 1 percent of people surveyed get the best answer; which is…

Well, get a full illustration of all the more than 21 possible ‘hidden’ squares…
