Risk intelligence

Interesting concept: risk intelligence. I find it an interesting tool for better self-assessment. Yes, I took the test and its seems I need to take care a bit with my decisions, I tend to be too self confident. One particular aspect that bothered me in the test though was the strong U.S.-centered culture references. I understand and I know that not the encyclopedical aspect is essential in the test, but the unfamiliarity of the topics clearly threw me off-balance (and it is accepted that when we have nothing more to lose, we get more daring).

The origins of the test and the associated project are very interesting too (read the presentation in the About page at the site). Only this age of the Internet would allow two independent individuals to conduct such a large scale operation of scientific flavor out of their personal pockets. Very interesting.
