The Saw-Inspired Survival Test
http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take?testid=4971081490651615269

My results:

Strong

Your survival instinct is 74% intact.

You are most likely pleased with your current state of being and would like to see life long enough to prosper and enjoy the fruits of your labor. You obviously are not typically-minded when it comes to public morality, but you understand how it affects most people and can operate within that understanding to your advantage.
You would have a better chance of surviving your ordeal than a majority of the population. Jigsaw John might be inspired in moments, whilst watching you struggle.

1. Mine is 58%
I was a bit stumped on question #8. :-)

Resourceful
Your survival instinct is 58% intact.
You have found your way out of difficult situations, but with more desperation to run than will to fight. This makes your survivall instinct inherently present, but not necessarily very strong. Perhaps it speaks more about your character and less about the amount of courage you posess...
You know fear, and are capable of confronting it or escaping it in times of distress.

It is possible that you would survive your trial, but the odds are less likely if you are alone.

2. Me too. Stupid, sexist question, badly worded.
But I thought it was a fun test anyway.

I, by the way, would not cut out my own eye.

:scared:

7. Tough question
I'd be highly skeptical of the device if I was the only one in the room, but if there were bodies of other people or some indication that I wasn't the only one put to the test, then yeah.

hope I'm never in any situations like that. Gross. What a wonderful world where ethics mean little and self-preservation is all.


( I feel like I need a shower now.) ;)
