@Onion Eater,
Statistics as of 15 Nov 2009.

All Answer Totals
Axiomatic = 1204 || Austrian = 1251 || Mainstream = 1548 || Total = 4003

So we see that the Axiomatic and the Austrian economists are running neck-and-neck for second place while the mainstream economists maintain a comfortable lead. This is to be expected; if mainsteam economics were the minority position, it wouldn't be called "mainstream."

This demonstrates that my quiz is fair. It is ridiculous for the Mises Institute to try to convince people that 80 to 90% of economists are Austrian. Obviously, just a casual glance through any economics department will reveal that the proportions are a lot closer to my results.
