How this quiz works

Eight questions explore your reaction to losses, investment horizon, volatility and decision habits. Responses score 0 to 3, from cautious to more risk-seeking. Totals of 0–6 are classified as cautious, 7–12 as balanced, 13–18 as growth-oriented and 19–24 as adventurous.

The quiz has not been validated as a psychological or predictive test. Your result can change with circumstances or mood. It does not replace a financial institution's investor questionnaire or suitability assessment.

Questions that matter more than a label

Wanting to take risk is different from being able to afford losses. First consider whether you need the money for living expenses, emergencies or loan repayments, and when you will need it. This quiz does not assess your full assets, income or liabilities.
