    I scored 67.5% on the
    Ultimate Zombie Apocalypse Survival Quiz!
    "Not bad! You ranked somewhere in the middle. You could do worse, but then again you could do better.
    Now might be a good time to buy a machete and stock up on canned foods..."

    Not as tough as I thought I was. Who's a true paranoid zombie-phobe?

    56.9 % plus the canned good and machete tip, which in my case is not necessary.

    I don't have a whole years worth of canned goods, but more than three days, and I am well supplied with various blunt and bladed weapons and a few firearms. On the down side of things are my age, weight, and general poor physical condition. But then I am not seriously planning for a zombie apocalypse.

    78.3% chance! Not exactly sure why but I suspect that the options I chose that involved sneaking might have helped.

    You scored 74.8%.

    Well done! Your chances of surviving a zombie apocalypse are better than average! Don't get too cocky, though. Remember, the undead never sleep...

    I am pretty sure I would kill myself in case of zombie apocalypse.

    You scored 53.3%.

    Not bad.l Gardening tools, hockeysticks for last line defence. I have first aid, and work with my hands. Even without a zombie infestation I am careful to approach groups of people. I know how a kitchen functions.

    You scored 70.4%.

    I think I had 62% or something. LKD and I are doomed - doomed!

    I wish the people who make these things would go to the trouble of providing more and more detailed evaluations. Seeing everybody get the same machete and canned foods comment is boring and makes you wonder why you sat through all the "if you were walking on a three-quarter inch diameter tightrope over a 20 meter chasm at dusk on a rainy evening in an urban environment while wearing short pants and suede loafers and a zombie attacked from the rear while a stranger attacked from the front, who would you kill second, provided you had only a zippo lighter and a bar of ivory soap?" questions. :p

    Yeah - I tried to answer the questions from my mom's perspective. She's over 70, obviously not particularly strong, has no medical training or special skills, hates the outdoors, etc. Y'know, all of the things that would say to me - "Zombie snax" or the equivalent. Still did better than 50% on the test.

    I think they need to revamp it.

    Is that because you think it would be useful to know what areas you need to improve upon in order to survive an actual zombie apocalypse? :p

    No - it's so more enjoyment could be gotten from it. I would like to see someone labeled as "Zombie Snax" or similar for low scores, things like that. This could be really funny.
