Mostly As: Financial Economics Bro

  • You seem intense, but so are financial econ bros. You two might find genuine love, or use each other to climb the ladder of success at Goldman Sachs. I hope the riveting conversation about how they actually understand cryptocurrency makes up for the disappointment in the bedroom. 

Mostly Bs: Economics-Political Science Bro 

  • You definitely only picked Bs to avoid ending up with a finance bro, but you’ve still picked a corporate sellout bro. You two will share intellectually stimulating conversations and argue about who will make more when writing your prenup.  

Mostly Cs: Economics and Computer Science Bro

  • Just run.

Mostly Ds: None?

  • You seem very cool and interesting, so I can only hope that you were only taking this quiz to find someone to pay off your student loans. In that case, any of the econ bros on The Fed exec board is the one for you.
