Risk Assessment - How Risky Are You?

1. How would your friends describe your willingness to take risks?

Gotta risk it for the biscuit!

Examine your options. Weigh the pro's and con's. Do it anyway.

You played the lottery one time.

Risk? You? Not today. Not ever.

2. You are on a game show and have the following prize options. What do you do?

Instant cash of $500

50% chance in winning $5,000

20% chance in winning $50,000

5% chance in winning $150,000

3. It's your birthday and you are on a beach vacation with friends to celebrate. The gang decides to rent motorcycles from the front desk and go bungee jumping. What do you do?

You race your friends to the bungee jump spot and are first to jump!

After some discussion, your friends finally convince you to try it. You reluctantly decide to go.

You don't know how to ride a motorcycle so you tell your friends you will meet them there, but you're not sure if bungee jumping is something you are up for.

Nope. Not happening. You tell your friends

4. You are driving to meet some friends. You're running late. The traffic light ahead turns yellow. What do you do?

Yellow? Ha! If it isn't red, you aren't stopping.

Look for police and traffic cameras before speeding through the light.

Slow down and determine if you have enough time to make it through the intersection before the light turns red.

Always stop at a yellow light.

5. Your BEST friend gives you a tip. She heard this stock is gonna go through the roof in the next week. What do you do?

Empty your savings account. Take out a second mortgage. Sell your stuff on Ebay. You're about to be rich!!!

Nod, squint your eyes, log onto E*Trade and invest a your discretionary budget for the month.

Make a mental note to do a little research of your own before making any investment decisions.

You hear this stuff all the time and know it’s not true. Hard pass.

6. A very good friend that you haven't seen in a long time invites you to a party. The catch, you won't know anyone there. What do you do?

Go online and pick out a wacky outfit. You are, afterall, the life of the party.

Accept the invitation. You love a good party.

Ask if you can bring a friend to the party with you to keep you company. Not knowing anyone at the party is terrifying.

Politely decline. You know your anxiety would be paralyzing.

7. You're traveling with a friend in Southeast Asia. You find yourself in a small town and walk into this interesting tent. In the center of the tent is a venomous snake in a basket. People are queued up to pay ten dollars for a chance to grab the five one-hundred dollar bills on top of the snake's cage. What do you do?

This looks fun! #YOLO

You watch for a little while to develop a strategy on how to get that money. Dolla dolla bills!

This should be an interesting show.

These people are nuts. You're out of there.

8. You're sitting next to a man on an airplane. When he wakes up he starts talking to you, his ramblings culminate with him explaining how he can help your business. What do you do?

This chance encounter happened for a reason. You give him your number in order to continue the conversation at a later time.

Give him your business card and ask for his. You never know, right?

Thank him and politely take his business card.

Smile and nod. You can't wait for this flight to be over.

9. You and a friend went to your favorite restaurant last week. The food was so good, you brought your leftovers home. It's been five days and you've got nothing at home to eat except those leftovers. What do you do?

You're starving. You don't give it a second thought and begin to devour the cold leftovers.

Give the food the ole' sniff test. It doesn't smell bad. You reheat the meal and eat all of it.

You smell it... it smells okay-ish. You taste it... it's tolerable. Maybe this isn't a good idea.

Your stomach is starting to hurt just looking at it. In the trash it goes.
