Rate Your Risk

[Canis-Lupus]

Week one into membership and been reading some good posts/threads, this is my 1st outside of the new members forum, hope it won't be my last so I figured I would add something to USA Carry that may have been the topic of past posts, but with new members joining every day I thought it was a way to contribute not just chat about guns & bugs. I have taken a lot of tests to evaluate me over the years from simple O-levels in the country of my birth (G.B.) @ age16 to ASVAB to join the US Army 3 years later, then Meyer-Briggs and even lie detector tests and how to beat most if required to, like I maybe became a POW and 'Ivan' ever used one on me B 4 the beatings & electrodes started. U.S. Army run POW/SEE&R training camps that were nothing close to Cold War fun! OPFOR were SF & very good @ interrogating us with some brutal tactics that broke us all! :(
This is a 9 multiple choice question self evaluation online test to give you an idea of how likely you may be to become the victim of a crime or the person who is less likely to put yourself at risk. No registration or any info from you is required, the site rates you right after you answer the last question on a scale of 100 to 10, with 100 being you are very savvy and capable to not become a victim down to 10 where you may be a mugger's, burglar's, rapist's or con-man's dream waiting to come true. I don't know if this thread/theme has ever surfaced on USA Carry before or what your feelings about them are, not my business, if you don't like them then please disregard, or if you want to give it a try I posted the link below. I scored 80, pretty safe but with some bad habits, and that was about right on. They do ask about whether you are a CC type or a non-legit packer, where you go, what you do, habits and general risk factor stuff, so the idea is answer honestly or don't bother. No ads or pop-ups and IMHO worth a look-see for the 5 minutes it takes to work a test to the end score. No cookies and no abnormal in or out bound traffic going thru my firewall, no not the [hackable] WinDoze XP one, so if anyone was tracing me all they got was an I.P. address and a server. Like I said if you ain't happy with this then don't do it, if however you want to give it a try you may be surprised or confirm that you are indeed hard to take down, and if you like it then maybe ask a loved one of yours to take it too.
The person who put this site up is:
Ken Pence © 1995 I ran a search for him and he seems to have his life wired pretty tight with some impressive creditials at: http://people.vanderbilt.edu/~ken.pence/

The Rate Your Risk web-page is here for the test:
http://www.rateyourrisk.org/ He starts with:
"Close the door when you take the rape, robbery, stabbed, shot, beaten test so you give yourself a fair assessment. These tests give you a "ballpark estimates" on your risk and are meant to entertain while educating." He isn't selling anything but has links to other good advice URL's that deal with juveniles to a free Last Will & Testament download and a freeware game you can download that puts you into a school room situation and assesses what will happen if you do 'A' versus 'B'. Not tried it.
I wouldn't have posted this if I didn't think it would be useful if only just one of our patrons figures out they ain't a 'legend in their own mind' or living a sensible precautious life & still having fun. If you object just put it down to junk and drive on without flaming me too bad. If you know of better then I'd love to try one, reply with the URL to this thread for all to see. TIA!
Regards,

(The real timber wolf has just been removed from the endangered species list after a prolific come-back, bad news for sheep-farmers but great for hunters, if that's your thing, so sales in Second Chance © body armor for wolves just shot up, thinking about changing my nom-de-guerre! )

Wow..I was expecting a different type of psych test. But this was still interesting. The score result said that crimminals are afraid of me. Guess I did not realize I had become that methodical and paranoid in my behavior. Opps

[Memphis]

Yea, said criminals are afraid of me and that I should apply to the metro police.

[mom of 3 angels]

Okay, I scored 4. I guess criminals are not afraid of me, but as it said "You are either highly cautious or a poor target." I'd say some of both :)

[Red Hat]

I didn't do too bad...;)

Rate Your Risk
Beaten
Your total is -2.

(Negative score) A minus score indicates that the criminal would be in danger FROM YOU. The greater the negative score...the greater the danger

(Less than 20)The Metropolitan Police Department is hiring. Look at our main page for hiring details if you think you qualify as a police officer

Good tests.

Just took the other tests and scored 3 on the murder and 37 on the burglary. Guess I've got a few bad habits since we live in a little town in the middle of nowhere . . .

[RDW]

Just took all three tests

33 on being robed
-13 on murder
-22 on burglary

this sure gave me some things to think about, thanks for the post.

Very interesting. I took it AS I WAS when I was a businessman and did a lot of international travel, including to some pretty "hairy" places like Columbia South America, Asia, Middle East. Did lousy. Still I did it for 10 years and never had a peep of trouble. They did ask about Black Belts which I did not have but I did have Brown in two different martial arts.

After the K.U. game I will take it again as things are now. Retired. Little travel. CCWL etc.
