Take The 3-Minute Quiz And Reveal How Brave Everyone Is

Bravery isn’t just an emotion that superheroes need to muster up when they find themselves facing off against the villain on the big screen. It’s also something that everyday people need to make it through their daily lives.

Even if we’re not responsible for saving the world or rescuing the damsel in distress, stress and anxiety can still plague us at every turn. Whether it be that college finals are approaching or that there’s a big deadline coming up at work, life has no shortage of events that we would much rather sit on the bench for. But if anyone wants to achieve a certain level of happiness, success, and a sense of accomplishment, then having a little courage in one’s back pocket is a must.

This doesn’t mean that these instances still aren't intimidating. In fact, the whole point of being brave is facing off against something that's anxiety-inducing. After all, it’s easy to accomplish a task that we’ve all completed a dozen times before, but it’s the willingness to dive in and tackle something new that demonstrates real courage.

So let’s take a look at some common and uncommon scenarios and discover just how brave everyone actually is!

Question 1

Rather watch a scary movie alone during the day or with friends at night?

Sometimes, watching one of these movies alone — even if it’s during the day — turns out to be a massive mistake. Suddenly, ever shadow and house creak could send your mind spinning to the spookiest possible outcome. However, even if you’re with friends, watching at night provides its fair share of risks as well.

Question 2

What’s the best way to leave a bad job?

Most people will find themselves stuck in an unwelcome job at some point in their lives, and hopefully they have the option to find something that makes them feel more fulfilled. But that still leaves them with having to part ways with their old job first. So what’s the best way to do this if there’s no looking back.

Question 3

Ideal way to ask someone out?

With so much technology at our disposal these days, there is no shortage of ways to go about asking someone out on a date. Texting and instant messaging may be amongst the easiest. But we can probably all agree that doing it in person requires a lot more bravery.

Question 4

Rather give a wedding speech or a eulogy?

Public speaking has long been one of the biggest fears for the majority of the population, and both of these scenarios requires speaking to a large group of people. But would you rather have to be entertaining — as required when giving a wedding speech — or would you rather just read something that’s sentimental and heartfelt?

Question 5

Rather use the assembly instructions or go without them?

Whether or not it’s brave or just plain foolish to go without the assembly instructions remains to be seen. But it still seems like many people — guys especially — prefer to try and figure things out as they go when it comes to putting something together. This could either save time or make things last way longer than they should.

Question 6

Best way to win a board game?

Some people play board games for pure entertainment. After all, it’s a great way to spend time with friends and family, or even just to break the ice with a new set of people. Meanwhile, other individuals only like to play to win. But there is certainly more than one way to improve the odds of a victory.

Question 7

Rather smile or make a silly face during a family photo?

Plenty of people don’t look forward to having their picture taken, in which case, they may find it best to just put on a smile and have the entire process over with as soon as possible. Meanwhile, there are others who simply love to ham it up in front of the camera. Which type of person are you?

Question 8

Skipping school is:

Most kids will find themselves faking sick at some point in their lives. Or maybe they were fortunate enough to have parents who would play hooky with them every once in a while. So is it okay to take a break every once in a while? Or is it always wrong to skip out when you don’t need to?

Question 9

Rather spend the night in a graveyard or a haunted house?

Whether we actually believe in ghosts will probably have a major influence on our decisions in this scenario. For instance, nonbelievers are much more likely to prefer the comfort of sleeping in their house - even if it is supposedly haunted. Meanwhile, a graveyard seems like a much easier place to flee should something supernatural happen.

Question 10

Rather go on a road trip or fly to a different country?

Despite being statistically safer than driving in a car, many people continue to find themselves afraid of flying. Or maybe they’d just rather not be thrown into the unknown of another country. If that’s the case, something like a road trip might seem like a much more ideal option for a get-away.

Question 11

Going to a party without an invitation is:

For many people, just going to a party can be nerve-wracking enough. They may end up second-guessing everything from what they’re going to wear to what they should bring, to how they should act. Meanwhile, other people seem like they live to attend parties — even if they are ones they weren’t invited to.

Question 12

Rather give a 30-minute presentation in front of friends or a 10-minute presentation in front of strangers?

Most common phobias, like spiders or flying, can be easily avoided in day-to-day life. Yet many people will find themselves having to engage in public speaking at one point or another. So would you rather be familiar with your audience or have it be a group of stranger you never have to see again?

Question 13

Best way to get directions when lost in a new city?

A vacation is supposed to be a relaxing time. But if you travel to someplace new, getting lost could turn into one of the most stressful events of your year. So how would you go about finding your way back to a familiar part of the city? You don’t exactly want to look like a lost tourist to the wrong people.

Question 14

Best resource when tackling something totally new?

These days, when most people don’t know how to do something, they turn to YouTube or a WikiHow page. But is this always the best option? Many people end up taking the knowledge of their parents for granted. Or maybe you’re someone who’s brave enough to dive in and just see how it goes.

Question 15

Rather get a tattoo or a piercing?

If you’re a female, getting a piercing may seem like no big deal. Many girls end up getting their ears pierced before they’re even teenagers. Not to mention that piercings can always be removed. A tattoo, on the other hand, is often a permanent decision. But maybe you’re someone who much more prefers the look of getting inked.

Question 16

Best way to deal with a mean person?

Whether it be at school, in the workplace, or in everyday life, everyone is bound to come across as a bully at one point or another. Therefore, it’s best to have a strategy when it comes to facing a not-so-savory person. Trying to avoid them may be the most common tactic. But is it really the bravest?

Question 17

Rather sing karaoke or try stand-up comedy?

A step-up from public speaking would certainly be performing in a public setting. While this may seem harder, many people actually find it easier if there’s a specific task at hand or if they’re sharing the spotlight with someone else. So out of these two seemingly daunting tasks, which one would you rather try your hand at?

Question 18

Rather go sky-diving or bungee jumping?

Statistically speaking, bungee jumping is still a bit safer than sky-diving. Not to mention that when you go bungee jumping, you don’t actually have to take off in a plane. Instead, you usually just jump from a bridge or a cliff’s edge. But if you’re going to be free-falling, would it just be better to go all the way?

Question 19

Rather work alone or in a group?

For many people, the words “group project” may immediately give them a sinking feeling in their stomach. Now, not only do they have to do the work, but they have to balance the dynamics of the others within the group. However, if the group works well together, this could also mean less work for everyone involved.

Question 20

Pick the scarier movie villain.

For most people, the bravest thing they will have to do on a regular basis is sit through a horror movie. If that’s the case for you, then you should probably count yourself pretty lucky. But that still doesn’t mean you can’t get creeped out by the villains on screen. So which one of these antagonists scares you more?

Question 21

Rather eat a dozen dried crickets or one living earthworm?

Dried crickets and other insects are a common food for certain pets — particularly reptiles. But believe it or not, there’s even a small market for humans who enjoy snacking on a few dried crickets. So would you rather go in for a handful of these or eat one living, slithering earthworm?

Question 22

Pick an animal to avoid at all costs.

There are certain animals that the vast majority of people are afraid of, or at the very least, have an aversion to. Snakes and spiders would certainly top the list. But then there are other animals, like rats or mice, that some people actually keep as pets while other maintain a serious phobia of them.

Question 23

There’s gossip around the water cooler. Pick a response:

One of the easiest ways to pass the time at work is to enjoy catching up with your co-workers. But it’s not uncommon for these conversations to turn into gossip about management or other employees. So are you one to partake in this sort of chit-chat, or do you prefer to steer clear of bad-mouthing anyone?

Question 24

Ideal member of the band to be?

Even if you’re not the musical type, it’s not hard to see why being the member of a band might seem so enticing. Especially if you’ve managed to accumulate a strong following. But would you rather enjoy the brunt of the limelight as the lead singer usually does? Or be someone in the background?

Question 25

Pick an amusement park ride.

For many people, roller coaster rides will be the most thrilling activity they ever partake in. Some people can’t wait to go over a hundred miles per hour while traveling through twists, turns, and going upside down. However, other people’s bodies simply can’t take this sort of thrill, meaning a Ferris wheel or water slide might be more their taste.

Question 26

Rather be a leader or a follower?

Some people would rather be a follower, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they are any less brave. After all, it’s good to know your strengths and weaknesses, and some people are simply better at bringing someone else’s vision to life than they are at coming up with a vision of their own.

Question 27

Rather swim in the lake or the ocean?

Although shark attacks are extremely rare, some people avoid going into the ocean at all costs because of this phobia alone. In that case, swimming in a lake seems a lot less scary. Not to mention that lakes don’t have the dangerous currents, waves, and undertows that can be found in the sea.

Question 28

Rather lock the house door or the bedroom door at night?

Even if you live in a relatively safe neighborhood, it’s not a bad idea to lock your doors when you go to sleep at night. But if you could only lock the house or the bedroom door, which would it be? Chances are, most people wouldn’t hear if their house door was trying to be opened while they slept anyway.

Question 29

The plane hits some turbulence. Pick a response.

Some light to moderate turbulence during a plane ride is pretty common. And the smaller the plane is, the more likely you are to feel it. Even still, turbulence could instill a great deal of panic into someone who already doesn’t enjoy flying. Meanwhile, it could help rock someone to sleep who doesn’t mind it at all.

Question 30

Ideal way to make a big decision?

Whether it be deciding to quit your job or move across the country, there’s no easy or straightforward way to make a big decision. These are often the moments that will end up defining the next few years of your life. So when faced with such an enormous undertaking, what do you think would better help you decide?

Question 31

Rather ask someone to join them for lunch or sit alone?

If you’ve ever been new to a school or workplace, you may have struggled to find someone to enjoy lunch with upon first arriving. Most people are happy to welcome in newcomers and show them the ropes, but that doesn’t necessarily make it any easier to ask someone if you can eat your lunch with them.

Question 32

A stranger is getting rowdy at the bar. Pick a response.

In any public setting, you run the risk of brushing shoulders with someone who’s prone to losing their temper or getting a little out of control. This is especially apparent at bars. So if you were to notice someone starting to lose their cool, how do you think you’d actually handle the situation?

Question 33

What’s the ideal first date?

First dates are usually a nerve-wracking experience for all parties involved. Not only are you trying to calm your nerves throughout the experience, but you’re also trying to present the most likable and impressive side of yourself. So in which one of these scenarios do you think you’d feel the most comfortable?

Question 34

The common cold hits. Pick a response.

It’s that time of year again. People are falling victim to one common cold after the next. Having a stuffy nose and a sore throat certainly aren’t fun experiences for anyone. But are you the type of person who is able to stay on schedule when sick? Or do you drop all planned activities until you’re feeling back to normal?

Question 35

Rather break up with someone or be broken up with?

It’s never easy when a relationship ends, especially if it’s gone on for a considerable amount of time. But often, there comes a point in the relationship when both parties know things aren’t going to work out, even if they’re too afraid to admit it out loud. So would you rather break things off or wait it out?

Question 36

Ideal number of time per day to wash hands?

Washing your hands is a great way to avoid catching a cold or getting the flu. But doing it too much — especially when you’re younger — could actually be doing you more harm than good. People still need to interact with different germs to help build up their immune systems, meaning being a hypochondriac may actually backfire in the long run.

Question 37

There’s a feral dog outside. Pick a response.

The idea of taking in a rescue dog is more popular now than ever. But that doesn’t usually involve opening your doors to a feral dog that has been wondering the neighborhood. While it might feel good to try and help an animal in need, safety is still of the utmost importance.

Question 38

Rather spend 30 minutes in the trunk of a car or 10 minutes in a coffin?

This might seem like an easy answer to most people. After all, a coffin seems like it would be way more comfortable than a trunk. Not to mention that you’d be spending 20 fewer minutes inside a confined area. But on the other hands, coffins may get a person thinking too much about creepiness of being underground.

Question 39

Pick an item to carry.

These days, most people have their wallet, keys, and cell phone on them every time they end up leaving the house. But if you’re someone who prides themselves in being prepared, your pockets may contain a few extra items as well. So which one of these four do you think you’d best like to have on hand?

Question 40

Rather have a cold for a week or food poisoning for a day?

They say the average person has about two to four colds per year — which could easily be upwards of a month of time with a sore throat, stuffy nose, or congestion. When you put things like that, wouldn’t it be far better to just feel out of sorts for a day, even if that means having to deal with food poisoning?
