How did you do?
Mostly A’s
You are the archetypal villain. You will never succeed if you continue like this. You are too sure of your own ability, and make too many assumptions about the abilities of others
You should always have a backup plan or two, just in case.
Famous Villains like you: Doctor Evil, Praetor Shinzon, Agent Smith, The Big, Bad Wolf

Mostly B’s
You rely far too much in technology, a single power cut and you are reduced to nothingness.
At the very least stock up on some weapons that don’t require electricity
Famous Villains like you: Krang, Doctor Claw, Doctor Octopus, HAL 9000, Kuja

Mostly C’s
Getting there, you are no fool, but you sometimes sacrifice safety for completing the job quickly and without errors.
Get one of your lieutenants to do the odd thing, they may be inferior in every way, but they can accomplish basic tasks
Famous Villains like you: Shredder, Captain Black, Catbert, Carmen Sandiego

Mostly D’s
You are perfect. You are numero uno. You have taken the advice of all the best villains, Ra, Voldemort, Darth Vader, Sephiroth, The Borg, and looked at their mistakes.
You live by the evil overlords handbook.
The world doesn’t stand a chance.
