ARE YOU A RISK TAKER?

Instruction: For each of the following situations, you will be asked to indicate the minimum odds of
success you would demand before recommending the one that one alternative be chosen over
another. Try to place yourself in the position of the adviser to the central person in each situations.

1. Mr. B, a 45-year-old accountant, has recently been informed by his physician that he has
developed a severe heart ailment. The disease would be sufficiently serious to force Mr. B to
change many of his strongest life habits- reducing his work load, drastically changing his diet,
giving up favorite leisure-time pursuits. The physician suggests that a delicate operation could
be attempted that, if successful, would completely relieve the heart condition. But its success
could not be assured, and, in fact, the operation might prove fatal.

Imagine that you are advising Mr. B. Listed below are several probabilities or odds that
the operation will prove successful. Check the lowest probability that you would consider
acceptable for the operation to be performed.

__________ Place a check here if you think that Mr. B should not have the operation no matter
what the probabilities
__________ The chances are 9 in 10 that the operation will be a success.
__________ The chances are 7 in 10 that the operation will be a success.
__________ The chances are 5 in 10 that the operation will be a success.
__________ The chances are 3 in 10 that the operation will be a success.
__________ The chances are 1 in 10 that the operation will be a success.

2. Mr. D is the captain of College X’s basketball team, College X is playing its traditional rival,
College Y, in the final game of the season. The game is in its final seconds, and Mr. D’s team,
College X, is behind two points in the score. Collage X has time to run one more shot. Mr. D,
the captain, must decide whether it would be best to settle for a tie score or a play that would
be almost certain to work which is throwing two point shot near the ring, or on the other hand,
should he try a more complicated and risky play that would bring victory if it succeed but defeat
if it failed which is throwing three point shot away from the ring.

Imagine that you are advising Mr. D. Listed below are several probabilities or odds that
the risky play will work. Check the lowest probability that would consider acceptable for the
risky play to be attempted.
___________ Place a check here if you think that Mr. D should not attempt the risky play no
matter what the probabilities.
___________ The chances are 9 in 10 that the risky play will work.
 ___________ The chances are 7 in 10 that the risky play will work.
___________ The chances are 5 in 10 that the risky play will work.
___________ The chances are 3 in 10 that the risky play will work.
___________ The chances are 1 in 10 that the risky play will work.

3. Ms. K is a successful businesswoman who has participated in a number of civic activities of

considerable value to the community. Ms. K has been approached by the leaders of her
political party as a possible congressional candidate in the next election. Ms. K’s party is a
minority party in the district, though the party has won occasional elections in the past. Ms. K
would like to hold political office, but to do so would involve a serious financial sacrifice, since
the party has insufficient campaign funds. She would also have to endure the attacks of her
political opponents in a hot campaign.

Imagine that you are advising Ms. K. Listed below are several probabilities or odds of
Ms. K’s winning the election in her district. Check the lowest probability that you would
consider acceptable to make it worthwhile for Ms. K to run for political office.

___________ Place a check here if you think that Ms. K should not run for political office no
matter what the probabilities.
___________ The chances are 9 in 10 that Ms. K will win the election.
___________ The chances are 7 in 10 that Ms. K will win the election.
___________ The chances are 5 in 10 that Ms. K will win the election.
___________ The chances are 3 in 10 that Ms. K will win the election.
___________ The chances are 1 in 10 that Ms. K will win the election.

4. Ms. L, a 30-year=old research physicist, has been given a five-year appointment by a major
university laboratory. As she contemplates the next five years, she realizes that she might
work on a difficult, long term problem that, if a solution could be found, would resolve basic
scientific issues in the field and bring high scientific honors. If no solution were found, however,
Ms. L would have little to show for her five-years in the laboratory and it would be hard for her
to get a good job afterward. On the other hand, she could, as most of her professional
associates are doing, work on a series of short-term problems for which solutions would be
easier to find out that of lesser scientific importance.

Imagine that you are advising Ms. L. Listed below are several probabilities or odds that
a solution will be found to be difficult, long-term problem that Ms. L has in mind. Check the
lowest probability that you would consider acceptable to make it worthwhile for Ms. L to work
on the more difficult long-term problem

___________ Place a check here if you think that Ms. L should not choose the long-term,
difficult problem, no matter what the probabilities.
___________ The chances are 9 in 10 that Ms. L will solve the long-term problem.
___________ The chances are 7 in 10 that Ms. L will solve the long-term problem.
___________ The chances are 5 in 10 that Ms. L will solve the long-term problem.
___________ The chances are 3 in 10 that Ms. L will solve the long-term problem.
___________ The chances are 1 in 10 that Ms. L will solve the long-term problem.
