    • YES

    • NO

    Correct Answer
    A. NO
    Explanation
    The correct answer is NO because it is generally not safe to let strangers enter your home, especially without a valid reason. Allowing strangers into your home can put you and your belongings at risk. It is important to prioritize your safety and only allow trusted individuals into your home. It is advisable to find alternative ways to help someone in need, such as offering to make a phone call for them or directing them to a nearby public place where they can make the call themselves.

  • 9. 

    Are you ever too intoxicated to get home without help?

    • YES

    • NO

    Correct Answer
    A. NO
    Explanation
    This should go without saying but if you are so intoxicated that you rely on someone you’ve just met to get you home safely you are in a seriously dangerous situation. You are at the complete mercy of a stranger. Would you want this for your best friend or daughter?

    Rate this question:

    • NO

    Correct Answer
    A. NO
    Explanation
    It is not advisable to answer a knock on your front door without first looking through a peep-hole or side window to determine whether it's a stranger. This is because it is important to prioritize safety and security, and answering the door to a stranger without verifying their identity can potentially put oneself at risk. By taking the necessary precautions and ensuring that the person at the door is known or expected, one can avoid potential danger or unwanted interactions.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Do you tend to stay late at locations where minds are being altered with alcohol or drugs?

    • YES

    • NO

    Correct Answer
    A. NO
    Explanation
    If you tend to stay until the bar or nightclub closes or have to be one of the last to leave the party, you again run the risk of being there when the violence starts. Most intoxicated men vent their frustration and anger when their opportunities to find a partner are drying up and that’s closing time. You don’t want to be there.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Are your car doors always locked? (after you exit and after you climb back in)

    • YES

    • NO

    Correct Answer
    A. YES
    Explanation
    The correct answer is YES because it is important to always lock your car doors for safety reasons. Locking your car doors can help prevent theft and unauthorized access to your vehicle. It also provides a sense of security and peace of mind knowing that your car is protected. Additionally, locking your car doors can help prevent accidents by ensuring that the doors do not open unexpectedly while driving.

    • YES

    • NO

    Correct Answer
    A. YES
    Explanation
    People close their curtains or blinds when they're home at night for privacy and security reasons. Closing the curtains or blinds prevents outsiders from looking into their homes, ensuring that they can have a sense of privacy and feel safe. It also helps to block out any unwanted light or glare from streetlights or neighboring buildings, creating a more comfortable and conducive environment for relaxation and sleep.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    Do you check behind yourself while walking?

    • YES

    • NO

    Correct Answer
    A. YES
    Explanation
    Even while walking in a relaxed state of awareness it is important to occasionally look behind you. Perhaps you’ll notice that the guy that was twenty feet behind you a minute ago has now closed to five feet and has one hand inside his jacket. You now have an opportunity to maybe walk into a storefront and surround yourself with people. Could be that he was just late meeting someone and was reaching for his cell phone. Since you can’t know that, it’s best to make a habit of checking behind you and being prepared to respond.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    Do you make a point to notice the people around you?

    • YES

    • NO

    Correct Answer

  • 18. 

    Can you detect when someone is trying to manipulate you?

    • YES

    • NO

    Correct Answer
    A. YES
    Explanation
    The correct answer is YES. This is because being able to detect when someone is trying to manipulate you requires a certain level of awareness and understanding of human behavior. It involves being able to recognize signs of manipulation such as subtle manipulation tactics, emotional manipulation, or attempts to control or influence your thoughts and actions. By being observant, trusting your instincts, and paying attention to inconsistencies or red flags in someone's behavior or words, you can increase your ability to detect manipulation.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    Do you regularly scan your environment for potential dangers and threats?

    • YES

    • NO

    Correct Answer
    A. YES
    Explanation
    When you make the effort to notice what’s going on in your environment, you give yourself the best chance to avoid possibly dangerous situations. Assaults will almost always provide an indication of imminent attack if you train yourself to notice the signs. But you must pay attention.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    When you see someone dressed inappropriately, such as a heavy coat on a hot day do your alarms go off?

    • YES

    • NO

    Correct Answer
    A. YES
    Explanation
    The explanation for the correct answer "YES" is that when we see someone dressed inappropriately, such as wearing a heavy coat on a hot day, it triggers our alarms or raises our suspicion. This is because it goes against the norm or expected behavior, and we may perceive it as unusual or potentially indicative of something suspicious or out of the ordinary. Our instincts and intuition may kick in, prompting us to pay attention and be cautious in such situations.

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    Can your name and address be easily seen on your Drivers License when you open your wallet to pay for an item?

    • YES

    • NO

    Correct Answer
    A. NO
    Explanation
    No, your name and address cannot be easily seen on your Driver's License when you open your wallet to pay for an item. Driver's Licenses typically have a small window or cutout where the necessary information is visible, while the rest of the card is covered by the wallet. This design ensures that personal information is not easily visible to others while using the license for identification or payment purposes.

    Rate this question:

  • 22. 

    Has your car ever run out of gas?

    • YES

    • NO

    Correct Answer
    A. NO
    Explanation
    Imagine you get a call from a friend or family member that needs your help in a hurry. You jump into your car and halfway to your destination the car begins to slow down, the engine sputters and you barely manage to get the car off of the freeway before it stops completely. You are out of gas. Now not only are you of no help to the person that needs you, you now are at some risk yourself as you wait for someone to help you. Never let your gas tank fall below the half-full mark. It’s better to be inconvenienced and fill up when you have the time, than to be stranded when you don’t have the time to spare.

    Rate this question:

  • 23. 

    Do you need to be liked by everyone?

    • YES

    • NO

    Correct Answer
    A. NO
    Explanation
    It is not necessary to be liked by everyone because everyone has different preferences, opinions, and perspectives. It is unrealistic and impossible to please everyone. It is more important to focus on being true to oneself and surrounding oneself with people who appreciate and support them for who they are. Seeking validation and approval from everyone can be exhausting and may lead to sacrificing one's own happiness and authenticity.

    Rate this question:

  • 24. 

    Did you know that most violent assaults on women are committed by someone they already know?

    • YES

    • NO

    Correct Answer
    A. YES
    Explanation
    Most violent assaults on women are committed by someone they already know. This statement is supported by various studies and statistics on violence against women. It is commonly known that a significant number of sexual assaults, domestic violence incidents, and other forms of violence are perpetrated by acquaintances, partners, family members, or friends of the victims. This highlights the importance of addressing not only stranger danger but also the need to educate individuals about recognizing and preventing violence within their own social circles.

    Rate this question:

  • 25. 

    Are the front and rear entrances to your home well-lighted?

    • YES

    • NO

    Correct Answer
    A. YES
    Explanation
    The given answer suggests that the front and rear entrances to the home are well-lighted. This means that there is sufficient lighting in these areas, which can enhance safety and security. Well-lit entrances can deter potential intruders and provide better visibility for residents and visitors, reducing the risk of accidents or falls. Adequate lighting also allows individuals to easily identify and navigate their surroundings, especially during nighttime or low-light conditions. Overall, having well-lit front and rear entrances is beneficial for the safety and convenience of those entering or exiting the home.

    Rate this question:

  • 26. 

    Do you rely only on your husband, boyfriend or partner to protect you from harm?

    • YES

    • NO

    Correct Answer
    A. NO
    Explanation
    The answer is NO because relying solely on one person, such as a husband, boyfriend, or partner, to protect oneself from harm is not advisable. It is important to take personal responsibility for one's safety and well-being, and not depend solely on someone else for protection. It is recommended to have multiple layers of protection, such as self-defense skills, being aware of one's surroundings, and having emergency plans in place.

    • YES

    • NO

    Correct Answer
    A. YES
    Explanation
    Leaving enough room between your car and the car in front of you when stopped in traffic is important for several reasons. It allows you to have enough space to maneuver out of your lane if there is an emergency or if you need to change lanes. It also reduces the risk of rear-ending the car in front of you if they suddenly brake. Additionally, leaving enough space provides a buffer zone that gives you more time to react to any unexpected situations that may arise. Therefore, it is crucial to leave enough room between you and the car in front of you to ensure your safety and the safety of others on the road.

    Living on your own for the first time is very exciting, but it is so important that you take the right precautions to insure your safety. Always keep your doors and windows locked, never open the door to strangers and do not give your spare keys out. Do not approach your door with arms full of bags.

  • 34. 

    When approached by a stranger do you avert your eyes and look down?

    • YES

    • NO

    Correct Answer
    A. NO
    Explanation
    When a predator is sizing up a potential victim, he looks for someone he is certain he can dominate and control. If you look down and away when being approached by a stranger, you are advertising that you are timid and frightened. Instead, keep your head up, look them briefly in the eye as you approach. This tells them, “I am aware of you staring at me and I am not an easy target.” This may be enough to cause them to seek a more submissive target. However, do not act in a challenging manner as if you are welcoming an incident. Your first thought should always be to avoid confrontation. Avoid the avoidable.

    Would the people that know you say you are mostly timid?

    • YES

    • NO

    Correct Answer

    Do you share personal info online?

    • YES

    • NO

    Correct Answer

    In crowded gathering places like restaurants, it is common for people to orient themselves in a way that they can see the main entrance. This is because being able to see the main entrance allows individuals to have a better sense of their surroundings and be aware of any incoming or outgoing foot traffic.

Therefore, it is advisable to orient oneself towards the main entrance in such situations.

    One technique to use in assessing your environment is to use reflective surfaces to monitor movement without turning your head. It’s been said that women have a more developed peripheral vision than men, making it possible to subtly watch someone you are concerned about without being overt. Changing shadows can also provide information about people or vehicles in motion around you.
