Your score is : 98.2
A score of less than 50 means you're likely to panic in an emergency. You're not very likely to panic if your score is between 50 and 70. If it's between 70 and 90, you're panic-resistant. Above 90, you're as close to being panic-proof as a human can be. Men should score a trifle higher than women.

huh?

Can't tell. I do know that if something serious happens, I become very rational and act. The panic comes afterwards. I shake like crazy after the situation is over and get paranoid for some time.

106.2...... but then I have 5 children, been married twice, have children and other family members with disabilities or frequent medical problems and work in an occupation that requires quick judgements and rapid assessments.

once you have had a few dozen real emergencies, the ones in this test are no big deal at all

There's a pop up before you get the results.

That might explain it as I have Firefox set to kill pop ups.

Oh well, I cant be bothered to go and fill in all the dots again.

I know what you mean there, its AFTER the crisis that I get the stress reactions. I also do better in short term emergencies than with long term tedium.

95.2.

I've always been able to maintain cool in emergencies, or least fairly well. I aqquired nerves of steel during my foolish youth, when I was a Meth Cook. Of course, I was on my way to having them anyway, or I wouldn't have been able to leave the business without a criminal record, broken bones, cement shoes or blowing myself up. I had many close calls...few things require cool thinking and calm but lightining quick actions like a couple gallons of red phosphorous catching fire 2 feet away from you. (Although smoking in a Meth Lab is rather insane to begin with) I've never had a problem DURING a crisis, but in the calm after the storm I've actually puked from the aggitation

110.2 for me.
But that doesn't really mean much. I react to pressure buy either A) Procrastination or B) ignoring it completely
So my score is not particularly useful.
