    Are there any good personality models/tests specifically about security/risk-taking traits. ie what it takes for you to feel safe/unsafe conservative/bold on various dimensions like financial, physical, health etc? Feels like a gap in the psychometrics market.

        I remember this mentioned in entrepreneur research by Kaufmann Fdn. but likely wasn't their study.

        Conclusion was entrepreneurs aren't more risk tolerant than average, just overconfident.

        The problem is that it's not a static condition. It especially changes with groups- here are a bunch of papers on it: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C14&q=%22risky+shift%22&btnG= …

        Folks not wanting to go down the rabbit hole here's the quick version: The risks you're willing to take on your own aren't the same risks you're willing to take when you're with a group. Someone very conservative in their risk taking can be pulled "riskier" within a group.

        You should make it! We can always use another personality test.

        does this not reduce to conscientiousness?

        I like to think that people have varying degrees of ambiguity tolerance and preferred level of chaos: - Min Chaos before snap (nervous energy need to do anything) - Optimal Chaos level (flow state) - Max Chaos before snap (anxiety energy needs order and control)

        In this context the organization man may be depressed or happy. Entrepreneurs probably have higher Chaos preference - and so they don’t “seek risk” as much as need more volatility.

        i am on three levels underqualified to answer this, but for my own curiosity: what is risk?
