How much uncertainty you will take on for a gain you care about, across money, people, and your own neck.
About this test
Risk tolerance is domain-specific. Weber, Blais, and Betz's DOSPERT work found that financial, social, health, recreational, and ethical risks do not move as one trait. A person can speak up in a meeting and still refuse a cliff. These original items sample those domains and score a general willingness to accept uncertainty. Ethical harm is not treated as a daring hobby. The percent is appetite for risk, not courage and not recklessness by themselves.
