    Default Are You Going to Be Raped, Robbed, Stabbed, Shot, Beaten or Murdered?

    Everyone has a fear of something. Most of us just don't want to be a victim at someone else's hands. But how do you know if you're prevention plans are any good. Why, you take a test. Naturally.

    Ken Pence has put together several tests that let you rate your chances of being a victim. And no cheating!

    If those tests are correct I am a menace to society. The only risk I have is falling down the stairs and I live in a hardened bunker.

    Your total is -56.

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

    That makes me feel pretty good. Nice site.
    Well why not?

    I don't know how accurate it is but in the absence of any other analytical tools at least it makes you think about your preparations and risks for a moment.

    +26 for me... but one of the primary factors left out, at least in regards to me specifically: willingness to kill or injure (and having the ability to do so) the person or persons attempting to Rape, Rob, Stab, Shoot, Beat or Murder me, or someone around me, on a scale of 1-10:

    10

    That's on the other test. The one that asks, "Do you carry a flame thrower or have one in close proximity at all times."

    Dang, my score was +4. That's what I get for being a woman, I guess.

    The good news is my score is -24 for being murdered. My biggest risk would be my husband's ex-wife. Nothing new there.

    Very region specific test.

    I don't carry a key to my house because it is never locked. Many of those questions are only accurate if you live in the US. Random murder is not a reality here in Canada.

    My chance of murder or robbery where I am is just about nil, no matter what i do.

    (Looking up Red Lake, ON on the map) (mumbling to self) We'll see about the Mr. Red Lake. I've been practicing random murder skills for years. (chuckles wryly).

    Look it up, come to town, ask anybody where I live, they will tell you. Good luck robbing me though.
