I think the only area where I'm above average is financial risk. I started and operate a business and I'm pretty aggressive in my investing and stuff. But that's a little bit misleading, because starting the business initially had a low cost of failure, and my investing is long-term, which I think allows a more aggressive approach. However, I've had to sign some pretty big leases and contracts, and have to make payroll every month, which requires an iron gut in my particular business since we have very little recurring revenue on a monthly basis.
I take some social risks, but am probably below average overall. I have no problems with moving or breaking off social connections, but am generally not interested in disagreeing and arguing, so I let that type of thing slide. I'm very risk averse in the other three areas. I'm generally empathetic, I avoid physical pain and risk of injury, and I'm pretty health conscious other than some diet weaknesses.

Only in health. I don't gamble or do much of anything to put anyone at risk.
I smoke and drink as I please, however.

We can only pick one so I did, but I tend to be a high risk taker type. Fast cars, fast motorycles, dirty taqerias, risky financial decisions, dont carry health insurance, love life, job.. etc.

Pretty much only social. I'm generally up for an argument any time. My current job is the longest I've been employed by the same employer - five years, though that included a major move from station to corporate and has included three significantly different jobs in that time. In that time, the job also include a move from KC to South Carolina to Alabama.
Health to a minor extent. I used to ride a motorcycle. |

Financial but not in an irresponsible way. I'm willing to work on my own which takes some financial risks. Plan on another major risk when I am done with this current gig. One where I'll need money to manufacture products.

My answers are much different than they would have been prior to turning 30.
I used to take a lot of risks recreationally and socially in some ways. I didn't have the capitol to take financial risk, but i took my shots where I could. Now, I'd say I take less risk recreationally for sure, because I'm a provider for others. I like finanical risk but it's more measured and calculated than before. |

I find that part of it very interesting, because it shows how our own biases can affect our perceptions of what other people do. Personally, for example, I wouldn't ride a motorcycle because I think it's a high-risk thing to do. But among motorcycle riders, some of them likely do it precisely because of the risk and thrill, and others don't see it as high risk and ride for completely different reasons.

I own a tremendously capital intensive business, so yeah. Financial.
I'm pretty risk averse though, overall. |
