Jerry Seinfeld once told a famous joke about public speaking:
According to most studies, people's number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Death is number two. Does that sound right? This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you're better off in the casket than doing the eulogy."
It turns out Jerry Seinfeld was wrong. According to our quiz, Presentation Panic Quotient, only 18% would rather die than give a speech. That's good news. We expected fear of speaking to be much higher. To learn their PPQ, respondents ranked themselves according to their level of public speaking nervousness and received a final score.
According to people who took the quiz, the PPQ is a great reality check. To determine your Presentation Panic Quotient watch the video and click on the link.
