Are You Street Smart or Book Smart?

What would you do in the following situations:

Get started with these questions...

1

You find yourself stranded without fuel in a dodgy-looking neighborhood

You call the AA and lock your doors

You take a container and ask someone where the closest gas station is.

You never leave home without sufficient fuel in the tank.

2

You have to use public transport in an unknown city

You simply get to a station or bus stop and wait there until the next available train or bus arrives

You ask Siri

You study the different schedules and lines extensively before your visit and know the times they run.

3

You have to get to an address down the street from your hotel

You use your GPS app to guide you to the address

You walk around looking confused, trying to read numbers on the buildings

You try to look self-assured while casually glancing at the numbers – you did check Google maps before you left, after all.

4

You take a trip to Paris

You research what Parisians wear and try to blend in.

You know it’s an arty place, so you dress to impress in your most interesting outfits

You pack casual, ordinary (boring) clothes

5

A stranger in the street makes eye contact with you

You look him in the eyes, linger and then slowly avert your gaze

You quickly look away, hoping he won’t talk to you and start walking faster

You smile nervously

6

The stranger greets you

You ignore him

You greet back, but walk on without a smile

You stop and make small talk

7

Someone standing next to a wrecked car off the highway tries to wave you down.

You drive on and call 911

You stop and try to help

You take the GPS coordinates and call 911

8

A mugger grabs you and orders you to hand over your wallet...

You calmly hand over the money

You throw a “fake” emergency wallet on the floor and run

You refuse and fight back

9

A group of shady looking people walk toward you

You turn around and run

You casually walk into the closest shop and wait until they are gone

You grab your phone and make a call to a friend, chatting casually about your whereabouts

10

Your in-laws call and tell you that they would drop in at your place in an hour’s time….

You only tidy the rooms you know they would see

You scurry around to clean up as much as possible

You make reservations at a nice coffeeshop and arrange to meet them there

11

You just realize you have forgotten about your niece’s birthday party taking place in an hour

You quickly print a gift voucher.

You go through your place, find an old toy and wrap it in gift paper.

You head to your cupboard, you always have some spare gifts ready
