They say most people have a default choice when fight or flight kicks in. I think I'm a "fight unless I can't" type. Only two choices in the poll, so no "I'm in the middle" answer. It's fight or flight after all. No thinking. :)

I chose "fight", but it would really depend on my snap assessment of the tactical situation. :P

Shoot the motherfucker.

And whether or not I just ate.  Its usually Fight, because I can't Flight for 30 minutes after a meal, or I'll cramp up.

Being disabled flight is never an option. Unless I get advanced warning.

Always flight.

Fight, unless the assailant is a sumo wrestler or something.

Guess.

Judging from my history, I'd say fight.

Having said that, it's fortunate that humans have an ability to size up a situation fairly rapidly.

It used to be fight.  Then it turned out having a criminal record ill-disposes one for functioning in the economy.  So now I suffer the slings and arrows.

I admire you for having to deal with that shit. No lie.

I dunno.  I don't think the hiring process has even gotten to the background check stage in years. :P

Actually, I think the last few interviews I had with the State, where I had to disclose, they didn't mention it.  So maybe they've finally retreated into the mists of time.

Good news for you

Turns out you're OK after all.

Oh, God, I've seen that. :lol:

Fight unfortunately. Several times I've woken up at night and in my half asleep state thought I saw something and instinctively shouted and lashed out. Once resulting in hurting myself pretty badly as I punched a wall.

Fight, unless the other party can do something to hurt me.

I thought my default reaction is flight.  But on second thought it may not be.  The one time when I really faced a fight or flight decision, I chose fight.  It was the first day of moving into our new house in Vancouver.  I was in the alley, when a medium sized dog jumped toward me.  I figured that there was no way I could outrun the dog, so I (tried to) hit it with what I had - an umbrella.  To my surprise the umbrella hit the ground.  The dog chose flight. 

Flight. If you fight back successfully against an assailant in Sweden you get years in gaol.

"Fight".  I've spent years now breaking up fights and haven't been in one since I was 12 or so.  I immediately head toward trouble and try to end it these days, so I'd say that represents a "fight" answer as being more appropriate.

you should have been raised in north dakota  :Canuck:

Fight, but only on the grounds that I'm to obese and unfit to run.

I never flee from a flight.

No deer-in-the-headlights option?  :(

I voted run but my natural instinct is to try and talk my way out of it.

Always fight to the bitter end.

Running only makes you an easier target.
