The following quiz is intended to see how ready you are for the impending zombie apocalypse. Put a check-mark next to each statement which is true for you. The points for each true statement are in the third column.

Add up your score and see how you did.

While other survival experts may have different questions or weights, we feel that this list accurately portrays the things that have the highest probability of killing you after the Z-SHTF.
