What happens when the lights go out, the fridge stops humming, and the power grid fails? Your ability to adapt in those moments reflects just how independent you truly are. Some people could live comfortably off their stockpiles for weeks, while others might scramble after a day without Wi-Fi. Your choices in food, tools, and preparation reveal whether you’re self-sufficient, semi-prepared, or reliant on outside help.

➡️ Do You Prioritize Love or Independence More?

Think about it: Do you already have canned goods, water filters, and a backup generator ready to go? Or would you be knocking on your neighbor’s door after the second night without power? Preparedness isn’t just about surviving—it’s about knowing how to thrive without depending too heavily on systems that can fail. This quiz will show where you land on the independence scale when the power grid shuts down.
