Risk taker or risk adverse
Jump to: Newest in thread
It depends on the situation and how well I think I'd recover if things go wrong.
I'm happy to quit a job on a whim, because I know full well I'd get another one very easily. I don't gamble because the payoff isn't worth the risk to me.
In work it's my job to minimise risk, so I'm incredibly risk averse. |

What a great question. I reckon I veer towards risk taking in lots of respects. Career being one. Yet I avoid risks that involve potential physical injury, extreme sports, fights etc.
Still wanna do that bungie jump in Sth Africa tho, biggest in the world. I know I will be beyond fucking terrified in the time leading up to being on the ledge... |

Risk taker, made a few bad choices but that’s all part of growing. Regarding physical risk, I try and always keep 2 stupid mistakes away from death !
When I was 18 I faxed front and back of my first ever credit card then a company in Florida and let them max it to 10k to pay a company in India for some work . I had a few sleepless nights wondering if I’d go bankrupt or end up in prison and interest rates back then were 30% . But 2 years later bought my first house outright  |

I've always been an all or nothing guy (when I was a bit younger), but I think I've chilled a bit in as I've aged and appreciate the slow burn.
Still prefer bareback though |

I like to think that I make careful thought out decisions but when push comes to shove I tend to make the biggest leaps of faith.
So far so good but no doubt I will end up with a big ol' fall at some point. |

"Risk averse all day long, I like to cover all the angles before making a decision!
The only place I jump in with both feet is in the bedroom. Not literally. That would be a bit weird.

And ever so slightly painful I'd imagine  |

If it involves just me I’m a risk taker, if it could affect others I have to weigh up the pros and cons
End of last last year I took a big risk, it’s not quite planned out, but then again nor has this year for anyone.... time will tell whether it was a good decision or not as could effect others eventually.
That leap of faith needed to be taken and I don’t regret it one bit |

Been an extreme sports drifter best part of my life and if something doesn t suit in other dimensions of life I pull the ripcord and move on...its no big deal for me, just who I am. Mostly done quietly and often alone.

I'm pretty careful about the risks I may take
