How the Scales are Structured

Conflict Awareness & De-escalationCA&De
Measures how well you notice early conflict cues, set boundaries, and use practical steps to reduce tension and exit safely.
example score9/15
9/15Developing preventionexample score
0 – 5Awareness foundation
6 – 10Developing prevention
11 – 15Practiced de-escalator
A score of 9 suggests you use several constructive de-escalation responses but may apply them inconsistently when social pressure rises.
Movement & Defensive FundamentalsM&DF
Measures self-reported ability to maintain balance, move efficiently, fall safely, and apply basic defensive mechanics under supervised practice conditions.

0 – 5Physical foundation
6 – 10Developing mechanics
11 – 15Established fundamentals
A score of 10 suggests developing mechanics, with several fundamentals present in controlled settings while consistency and adaptation across varied drills are still growing.
Pressure Performance & JudgmentPP&J
Measures how well you maintain composure and make sound decisions when stress, surprise, or adrenaline rises during conflict.
example score7/15
7/15Developing composureexample score
0 – 5Pressure foundation
6 – 10Developing composure
11 – 15Practiced under pressure
A score of 7 suggests developing composure: you can sometimes reset and adapt under pressure, but stress may still narrow your options and timing.

SAMPLE QUESTIONS

Example Questions From the Test

    • I have watched or read some guidance but have done little rehearsal
    • I have repeatedly practiced coached scenarios with gradually increasing pressure
    • I have not practiced them; I would rely on my personality and instincts
    • I have rehearsed a few realistic situations with feedback
    • Step closer and use a strong posture to make the person yield the path
    • Wait in place and watch, avoiding any action that might be misread
    • Ask a companion or bystander to help while keeping some distance
    • Keep space, use a brief boundary, and take another route toward people or assistance
    • Answer firmly and hold my position so I do not appear intimidated
    • Pause and avoid arguing, but wait for the stranger to move first
    • Create space, use a calm sentence, and move toward a clear exit or other people
    • Ask what is wrong while gradually increasing the distance between us
WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

Can I Fight Quiz - Description and methodology of the test

For people who want to examine their responses to confrontation, the Can I Fight Quiz offers a profile of awareness, movement, defensive fundamentals, and judgment under changing pressure. Questions in this quiz ask whether you can fight, examining early warning cues, responses to confrontation, movement, and decision-making under pressure; they help identify what to practise next, including safer disengagement.

What This Assessment Explores

The questions cover risk recognition, boundaries, distance, exits, balance, footwork, breakfalls, defensive responses, and adaptation under fatigue or pressure. The result gives a fight readiness profile, showing reported responses and areas where awareness, mechanics, or judgment may need practice.

The result groups your answers into three dimensions:

  • Conflict Awareness & De-escalation (0-15) shows how your responses reflect cue recognition, boundaries, distance, and exits; bands: Awareness foundation (0-5), Developing prevention (6-10), Practiced de-escalator (11-15).
  • Movement & Defensive Fundamentals (0-15) reflects reported balance, movement, falling, defensive mechanics, and repositioning; bands: Physical foundation (0-5), Developing mechanics (6-10), Established fundamentals (11-15).
  • Pressure Performance & Judgment (0-15) reflects adaptation, breathing, fatigue management, deliberate choices, and disengagement; bands: Pressure foundation (0-5), Developing composure (6-10), Practiced under pressure (11-15).

The profile shows where focused practice may help.

Methodology and Scientific Basis

Each item presents a concrete scenario or skill question with four response options. Choices show different levels of experience, control, judgment, or adaptation across situations rather than a fixed progression. The displayed results use descriptive bands; the questionnaire does not specify how individual response choices are converted into points.

The structure is conceptually consistent with the Police Defensive Tactics Self-Efficacy Scale (Butler et al., 2023), linking this self-defense skills assessment to perceived capability and training experience. Pressure items also echo the performance-under-pressure focus of Nieuwenhuys et al. (2009), while de-escalation themes relate to Nau et al. (2009). Ozer and Bandura (1990) support reading self-efficacy as context-sensitive and shaped by experience.

These unvalidated bands are reflective summaries. Self-report may be influenced by memory, confidence, current stress, or limited self-awareness, and reported readiness cannot establish timing, power, injury tolerance, or performance against resistance. Use the result to guide supervised practice, prioritize disengagement, and leave when possible.
