General Risk Preference Scale

Do you take chances with your money, your health, your career and your evenings out, or play it safe across the board? The Basel-Berlin Risk Study (Frey et al., 2017) gave 1,507 adults 38 different risk measures and found one general risk factor running through all of them. The General Risk Preference Scale is built from their data: the 25 questions that track that factor best, first how willing you are to take risks in each area of life, then how likely you would be to do specific risky things. Percentiles compare you with the study's 1,507 adults, aged 20 to 36.
