13 - Based on my performance on the test I hope I never run into a dog in a dark alley.

Even I only got 13 of the 17, and I was in search and rescue etc. for over 25 years. Maybe I and Tommy Lee Jones are getting older??

10 of 17 here, but it should have been 14. I screwed up and didn't go with my instincts on 4 of them.

13 of 17..........tax dollars well spent, guess I learned something along the way.

I got 10 out of 17, but I thought the quiz was pretty poorly worded. In many cases the questions gave too little information for good decision-making, and the vital info. was given only after you answered. For example, "You're dehydrated, what do you do?" Then after you answer, you find out that you're in the desert. Well THAT changes things a little! Or, do you sit in the shade and wait for help? Of course, it would depend on how sparsely or heavily populated the area is. And I was looking for an option to avert my eyes from the attacking dog, but there was none. Then when I answered incorrectly, it said, "Your best bet is to avert your eyes"! D'OH! I knew that, but it wasn't one of the options!

You mixed two questions together. One was about dehydration, the next one was about how you'd find water in the desert. These and the other questions gave enough information to answer correctly, IMHO.

It appears you mixed the dog and gunman questions together, too.

I don't think so. While there was a question about being held hostage by a gunman and averting your eyes, there was never any mention of averting your eyes in the dog attack question, but it was there in the answer.

The dehydration question says "You're dying of dehydration. What would you do?" No more information is given about circumstances, be they weather, time of day, location, chances of finding another human being within 100 miles, etc. Then the answer says, "If you continue hiking in the sun, the loss of water will kill you."

So you're correct that it didn't specificaly say "in the desert". But it still sounds pretty much like they're assuming you're out in the wilderness, in hot, sunny conditions, and you can't walk into the nearest quickie-mart for a Gatorade. They also assume you are in a location where the chances of someone happening along are fair to good.

All I'm saying is that if you are in the back country (off trail) and the weather is cool and not too dry, you're better off trying to find help than waiting for it to come to you.

My scenario is no more presumptious than theirs.
