In a survival situation you have to have knowledge and skills. But you also have to know that you do, or do not, know or have the skills. You need a high risk intelligence.

(The Dunning-Kruger effect is not directly related but it is worth understanding. Everyone knows someone who vastly overestimates their capacities.)

I don't for a minute think this is the final word so I wouldn't get too enthusiastic if you do well of too disappointed if you score on the low end. Just something to think about.

Give it a go. How did you do?



I got an 85.

I got a 75-that was interesting. I learned a few things

91. They state that's good.

I guess they don't know I ride motorcycles, fly airplanes, shoot guns, sharpen my own knives and hike alone.

They sure asked a bunch of questions I didn't know the answers to.....

I got a 75. If I'd gone with my gut a few times I probably would have scored higher, but I was honest and and didn't go completely 100% or 0% all the time. I seemed to notice a pattern of being completely sure when I thought a statement was 0% and only around 80% or 90% when I was sure something was true.

With that being said, I believe I'd score myself as actually being around a 60 because I underestimate myself all the time. HAHA

Unimogbert: it's not a test of how much risk you take, it's a test of how well you know the limits of your own knowledge. I think I'd call it a "Certainty Test", myself.

Didn't know the answers to everything, but no sense in being tentative about any of them.
