Take This Quiz to Find Out Your Chances of Survival

What are your chances of surviving a catastrophe? Take this quiz and find out.

We spend a lot of time thinking about the apocalypse here at Chez Escape, whether it's a zombie-filled cityscape a la Left 4 Dead or a zombie-filled wasteland along the lines of Fallout. (Post-apocalyptic games sure do seem obsessed with zombies, don't they?) Discussing the best gun to use in a devastated future is certainly a lot of fun, but you're far more likely to encounter an earthquake than you are a zombie - would you know what to do?

The Escapist's Editor-in-Chief and expert survivalist, Russ Pitts, joined the quiz masters this week to assemble 20 questions that will test you as surely as the apocalypse itself. This quiz is designed to discover just how well you can handle yourself in a real-life crisis. In addition to giving you valuable information on how to increase your chances, it also gives you a shiny badge that lets everyone know just what kind of survivor you are.

You can take as long as you want, and given that you only get one shot at a badge, you may want to take your time. Of course, you can retake the quiz as much as you like to try and get 100%, but your total time will affect your position on the leaderboards.

Ready? Keep your wits about you...your life may depend on it.

Oh good, apparently I'm a tourist. And here was me hoping to find out I was a Legend of the Wasteland, or something...

Fun quiz though.

Again, same here. But wait! If all three of us pool resources, that makes 80%! No disaster or catastrophe would dare stand in our way then!

Fun quiz, although I was dismayed to get "Tourist" with only 25% the first time. Got "Happy Camper" with 65% the second time around.
Oh well! Guess I need to play more Left4Dead and Fallout!!

You scored 40%! You're a...

Tourist
You can handle most crises and have a decent chance of making it through to the other side.

Well, at least I have a chance of not dying, thats good I guess...

35%, damn I do not know how to survive.

At least I knew a few of them, but some questions looked like they could of have multiple answers.

Tourist, wich seems appropriate (50%)

...Anyone noticed how the quiz does not tell you the explainations and answers for the things you got WRONG?

While I didn't do too well, I reckon it's a real fun quiz.
80% after two tries is alright, I guess, although I got most of the answers from Man Vs Wild (or whatever it's called).

We would have floods twice a day without our dams. Oh and the wolf is apparently coming back through the German border.

OT. isn't it true that drinking your own urine causes you to dehydrate more due to the high ureum concentrations?

I'm a tourist. Great.

Warning: One of the answers is about to be given in this spoiler. Sorry about it, but I just had to say this(don't read if you haven't got the "Who's most likely to survive?" question yet, please).
Edit: Okay, WTF?!? How's a child more likely to survive in the wild then a soldier? I don't know about the US, but in Switzerland and Germany going into the "wild" is part of the training in the army. Okay, so soldiers are trained to ignore risks, but how on earth would a child know what it can eat? How would it know where to get food? How to hunt? How to act in such a situation of extreme stress? Children are not capable of surviving on their ownm, they need adults to take care of them.
