What Kind Of Survivalist Are You?

This quiz, rather than evaluating your chances of surviving a given apocalypse, will assess HOW you will survive the apocalypse in whatever form it takes. Attitude, expectations, and planning are the most important aspects of survival training, far more than knowing how to properly use any one tool or technique.

Keep in mind that none of the scenarios or options included in this quiz are a substitute for actual training and education in survival skills. Please do not use anything included in this quiz during an actual life or death emergency.

Long before the apocalypse, in the world before the fall, we were young once. Choose your favorite childhood toy from the list below, or the closest match.
- Action figures or dolls.
- One or more stuffed animals.
- I preferred spending time with my pet than with toys.
- Books.
- LEGO bricks, Tinker Toys, Erector Sets, or other modular construction kits.
- Watching TV or listening to the radio.
Starting fires is a key survival skill. What is your preferred fire starting tool?
- Cardboard Matches. Light, inexpensive, and easy to conceal if it comes to that.
- Wooden "strike anywhere" box matches. Inexpensive and easy to buy (and store) in bulk.
- A butane lighter with a flint striker that can still produce sparks when the fuel is used up.
- A "metal match" artificial flint striker; it lasts virtually forever and can't be blown out.
- A magnifying lens; while it only works on clear days, it requires no fuel and modern plastic lenses are almost unbreakable.
- All I need are two sticks and a few minutes.
What do you consider the best food supply in the post-apocalypse?
- A garden with corn, potatoes, and assorted vegetables.
- A fishing net and a rowboat.
- A bolt action rifle and a box of cartridges.
- A series of snares and traps that I can set and leave alone, then come back later and check.
- A pantry big enough to out last the end of the world.
- An illustrated encyclopedia of wild edible plants.
For better or worse, you have to go on a long trip far from your shelter, bunker, or stomping grounds. Choose your preferred form of transportation, or the closest match, from the list below.
- A half or quarter ton pickup truck, so I can carry a lot of supplies or people.
- A conventional four door automobile with decent gas mileage, because they won't be making more of that any time soon.
- A bicycle, light enough for me to carry over water, muddy ground, or ten car pileups on the freeway.
- A canoe or kayak. Collapsed bridges won't stop me either way.
- My own two feet. Where I go, there are no roads anyway.
- A horse, or possibly another beast of burden that can be ridden.
Uh oh. Either through violent combat or bad luck, you've been seriously injured. The good news is that you've diagnosed the problem and you have the skills, knowledge, and resources to treat yourself and make a full recovery. What do you do?
- Dig out any foreign objects (like bullets) with my knife, then sterilize the wound with heat.
- Remove any foreign matter with tweezers and forceps, douse in antiseptic, and suture or stitch the wound shut..
- Start gathering plants with natural anti-inflammatory properties to use as a poultice or compress.
- Have a shot of booze and walk it off. I've been hurt worse.
- Drink a lot of water, crawl into bed, and sleep it off.
- Take a couple OTC painkillers and play it safe for the next day or so.
During the initial chaos of the end of the world, what dangers and threats worried you the most?
- I worried most about the government using the crisis to seize more power than they could be trusted with.
- I worried about other survivors resorting to desperate measures once they got angry and hungry and frightened enough.
- I worried about humanity entering another dark age, losing all our knowledge, our history, and our responsibility towards each other.
- I worried about my family and friends, and what we were going to have to do to survive tomorrow.
- I worried about dying; I was kind of busy with the problems right in front of me.
- I was most worried about the possibility that all that I had done, and all might do in the future, would be for nothing and I might die anyway.
There's another survivor out there with ambitious plans, and they hate you with the intensity of a thousand suns because you managed to foil those plans. What did you do to piss them off so badly?
- I refused to back down when they tried to intimidate me, and probably hurt quite a lot of their minions and henchmen when things got heated.
- They were trying to scam some people out of supplies or manpower and I exposed them as a fraud.
- I robbed them and left them for dead.
- I found somebody they had robbed and left for dead and managed to save them.
- I killed them, or at least I tried to kill them; if they're still around to get mad at me clearly I need to finish the job.
- No idea. Maybe they were driven crazy by the strain of the apocalypse, or they were crazy before, but I just got here and I haven't done a damn thing!
We all have to go sometime. What will you leave behind for other survivors to find to shape the future of the new world?
- An empty shelter, completely cleaned out of anything useful.
- A journal filled with notes on people and places, sketches of what I've seen in my journey, and personal reflections on how the end of the world changed me.
- Nothing. Everything I create will return to the earth, just as it should.
- A carefully guarded storehouse of knowledge and cultural, protected against fire, water, insects and looters.
- A city, or at least, a seed of preserved civilization that will grow into a city
- Cryptic hints about the nature and cause of the apocalypse that will leave people scratching their heads for decades.
The time has come to rebuild civilization from scratch! What is the most important skill you plan to pass on to the next generation?
- The chemical formula for gunpowder and how to create it from raw materials.
- Germ theory, and how to make soap to prevent the spread of disease.
- Sewing, knitting, or some other textile art. We're not building a civilization of nudists here.
- Reading, writing, mathematics... oh, and how to make paper to keep all that stuff preserved.
- Metallurgy, the ability to smelt ores into refined metals and alloys.
- The atomic theory, and the structure of matter as we know it, which explains a great deal of chemistry and physics all at the same time.
Bonus Round! Your post-apocalyptic adventures and misadventures have earned you an easily recognizable nickname. Choose the title from the list below that most closely matches your preferred alias.
- That Crazy Sonnovab----
- Johnny Come Lately
- Phantom Watcher
- Emperor Bloodbath
- The Angel of Vengeance
- My Buddy Chad Who's Fun To Be With
