Are you the kind of person to take risks? When you DO take risks, do they pay off, or do they backfire spectacularly?

Depends on the context really, but generally I only take risks that I'm fully confident on making... for and they do pay off for the most part.

Not at all. I'm very cautious.

I am highly risk averse...as far as I'm concerned, if it's risky it's either not worth doing or you just haven't thought it through enough to eliminate the risk. Risk is the product of a lack of planning or a lack of knowledge, and doing things in either of those scenarios is...ill advised.

I have taken monumental risks in my career and continue to do so. They have paid off & allowed me to make huge strides in my career. I left my last two jobs without another job lined up, moved without a secure job, turned things down, taken on huge projects, & self-funded through school.

No, I don't like risks. I like security. I have done things that might appear sudden or reckless, but if I do so it's because I see no other choice, it's death-ground/desperate ground situation from Sun Tzu's the Art of War. If my back is to the sea and there's no way to evade a surrounding army then i'll cry out, "Long live the emperor!" and try the wild charge.
Sometimes it has led to annihilation, but occasionally I have snatched a victory from the jaws of defeat that astonished even me.

Nope, and it's something I need to work at.
I think the biggest risk I took was joining a public speaking class at my school. Having mild social anxiety, I knew what was coming for me. But it was a skill I desired to have.
I remember the first week when we had to go up and introduce ourselves to the huge class. (Which was our first grade). The teacher forgot to call me, so I had to awkwardly run up at the end. And it was pretty bad. I couldn't even face the class.
I'm still not sure if that class was worth the risk. The teacher said that I had improved. But I embarrassed myself so many times.
