There is also personal experience to account for... If I'd been looking to go into the military at 18, I honestly would not have known how I would handle extreme cold, because I grew up in San Diego and had very little time in cold places. (Turns out I am fine with it, as long as I stay hydrated and wear the appropriate layers.)
And my answer about extreme heat would have been only partially true; I thought I did heat just fine, until I experienced heat+humidity, which also required not being in San Diego.
