The correct answer to that question is that no one ever knows what they are capable of until they actually go through it. Many people who talk big chicken out when the time comes, and many who think themselves weak stand up to the worst of it. A lot of times when asked about their bravery in battle, soldiers have said things like "I wasn't brave; I was just too afraid to have my friends think I was a coward, so I acted brave instead."
When the chips are down you always surprise yourself.
