Frequently Asked Questions

What does this quiz measure?
It estimates judgment and decision-making in a school shooting scenario, including evacuation choices, protective actions, communication, and post-incident safety. It does not measure courage, intent, or moral character.

No; results cannot predict survival or outcomes. Use results as general feedback and follow local policies and responder instructions.

What should be done if danger is happening now?
Move to safety using the safest available option. Contact local emergency services when it is safe to do so and follow official directions.

How to Survive a School Shooting Quiz - Symptoms and Signs
