Adventure Profile

Here's a quiz from White Water Challengers in the Poconos to gauge your Adventure Profile. A group of us guys went there last year for a white water rafting trip and had a great time. We are planning to do it again this year.

My Adventure Profile Quiz

Find out if you're a true adrenaline freak ... a couch potato ... or somewhere in between. These 15 simple questions should help solve the mystery, and steer you in the right direction for your next whitewater rafting trip.

On a scale of 1 to 5, answer how strongly you agree with each of the following 15 statements, according to this scale:

1 = “I strongly disagree”2 = “I disagree”3 = “Neutral” 4 = “I agree”5 = “I strongly agree”

Here we go:
1. I enjoy bicycling when the weather is decent.
2. When it comes to vacation traveling, I prefer "winging it" to having every detail planned in advance.
3. I would rather play a sport than watch a sport.
4. There's something about stormy weather that fascinates me.
5. I would rather go for a walk than read the morning newspaper.
6. I miss some of the playfulness and curiosity of childhood.
7. Within the last five years, I’ve run a 5K (or longer) race or engaged in a formal fitness program.
8. I believe there's great value in finding and following "the road less traveled."
9. I have at least one hobby or interest that involves physical activity.
10. I'd rather tackle a project that requires creativity and effort, than one where the outcome is already assured.
11. I encourage my children (friends, associates, peers) to be curious and open to new experiences.
12. I would rather watch the National Geographic Channel than a TV game show.
13. I think I should treat myself to more quality time with family (friends, associates, peers).
14. I'm inclined to take up new pursuits (music, art, crafts, sports, hobbies) as I go through life.
15. I think about being physically fit and sometimes I actually do something about it.
