Here's what I've done... how would you interpret that:

Probit regression                                 Number of obs   =      15471
                                                  LR chi2(4)      =     322.40
                                                  Prob > chi2     =     0.0000
Log likelihood = -678.85535                       Pseudo R2       =     0.1919
