This was posted over at Bladeforums. There are some interesting answers. I didn't do too well (barely alive.)

I lucked out with 14 out of 17 correct. Severly injuried , but alive. I did the worst in the animal section, which is interesting considering my background.

13 out of 17 ; animal section was the worst...

10/17 Terrorist section worst

Same here. I kept trying to disarm the bad guy. <img src="/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

On many questions I knew what answer they were looking for, although I didn't believe it was correct (staring a dog down for instance, which I know from experience works). I answered them the way I would (still) act, so I got many of them wrong.

15 out of 17... pretty interesting.

14 out of 17 correct.

I'm alive but injured. Interesting answers in the animal section. For example, I answered that I would hit a shark in the snout..as a first line of defense. But the answer already assumes you are bitten. Still, interesting quiz.

I screwed up the dog part myself. I guess I was lumping scary things with teeth into the same category. LOL

Where's the option in which I unzip my jacket and hold out the sides to look as big as possible... HAHAHA

There are a lot of animals out there that instinctually attack if you turn, or avert attention. Dogs are like this if they're used to running in packs.

Especially say Chihuauas. LOL

I agree with the failings of the test itself... IANAL, but I believe one could argue that the questions "assume facts not in evidence" in several places. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

14 out of 17.. missed the shark one and the snake . thought it said was about to bite me , not that it had me in its mouth. the snake question i just got wrong. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

15 out of 17. Dang, I live in the Fl. Keys and missed 2 shark questions! <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Scott

Live in middle florida and i missed the shark questions too. 13 of 17 also missed the airplane questions.

"IANAL" You need to add that one to the acronym list

Just did.... and a couple more I didn't see on there. Thanks for reminding me!

16/17. Jet fuel? Jet fuel? <img src="/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

WHERE ARE DARN LIFEBOATS??? <img src="/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Sue

15 out of 17 right. Gotta avoid sharks!

17/17 correct. Does anyone want a Gloria Gainor "I will survive" t-shirt? <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Next time I will not think so hard. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

ASAP = Always Suspicious, Always Prepared

16/17

In terrorist section you would natural try and memorise the gun man so when the annoying cops stick you one of those interrogation rooms you could be as much help as possible without getting worked up and being banged in a cell for attacking an annoying interrogation officer. I'd rather be shot by Al Quaeda than thrown in a dungeon and have the key flushed down the touilet before my eyes. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

16/17 Interesting questions.

Did anyone else notice that several questions had more than one correct answer according to the test? For example, on the tornado question, you could either get in a bathtub or hide under heavy furniture, and the test would accept either answer as "correct." If it weren't for that I would be quite dead

12 out of 17, and I question a lot of the "correct" answers in the animal section. I've known a lot of dogs that if they are pissed will bite you if you just pretend they don't exist. And they won't let go.

I think parts of it are a bit outdated. I can't imagine trying to get all touchy-feely with a terrorist, at least after 9-11-2001.

Well, people do it. Terrorists are ciminals, not supertroopers. When people think of terrorists, they think of the rabid fundamentalist, but it isn't always true. Most of them are young, dumb, and scared. If they are holding you for any length of time, they start to relax, try to talk to you. And you start to humanize. That road leads to Helsinki, btw.

The only thing in that section I had to grumble with was the don't look at the guy with a gun to your head. NO, I'm going to look at him, if even just for a moment. A mook in a skimask, his weapon in my ear- I've got height, body type, voice, age (one eye line at around 21, one more every seven years or so), eye color, maybe hair color. And that is going to be a polaroid moment.

I did pretty goodl - got everything but the shark stuff.

I didn't finish it. When I got to the second situation where the best response was the immediate use of deadly force, and that option wasn't given, I gave up. I ain't going around wanting to kill things, but pacifism just makes me cross <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

You sound like my kinda guy... welcome aboard <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

You're welcome! I've learned a lot from this site, and just now found the forum. Wow, even more good info!

14/17 in a few I think the specific situation would make a HUGE difference in what decision is "correct" fun and interesting non the less
