The Importance of Personality • Our innate level of anxiety – our need for predictability, as well as our impulsivity and need for excitement – is reflected in our personality • These deeply rooted ‘tendencies’ determine our perception of risk, our reaction to risk, our willingness to take risks and influence decision making • Risk Type is central to our individuality and establishes a behavioral bias that is consistent and pervasive • Risk Type behaviour is moderated by exposure to risk, experiences that inform, familiarise and reduce uncertainty

Attitude + Personality Human factor risk has long been considered a matter of ‘risk attitude’ BUT: • Risk Attitudes (variable) – change continuously – influenced by campaigns (seat belts, drink driving, health issues etc). – financial risk attitudes changed dramatically 2008
• Risk Type (stable) – based on personality and stable over time – deeply rooted in genes & temperament – fundamental to individuality Geoff Trickey Psychological Consultancy

Risk Type
Geoff Trickey Psychological Consultancy
•
Eight risk types capture the features of personality concerned with risk
•
The Risk Type Compass® presents a continuous spectrum in which neighbouring Risk Types are similar and facing Risk Types are opposites
•
Markers (•) for extreme types are places at the outer edge, moderate types near the centre

Eight Risk Types •
Excitable - Impulsive and unpredictable, they enjoy the spontaneity of unplanned decisions.
•
Intense - Anxious, alert to any risk and fearful of any threat to their precarious equilibrium. Passionate and self-critical by nature, they take it personally when things don’t work out.
•
Wary - Self-disciplined and cautious they put security at the top of their agenda, seeking to eliminate risk and to control people and situations to achieve that end.
•
Prudent -Very self-controlled and detailed in their planning, a strong preference for tradition and the familiar and can seem inflexible. They like to do things by the book.
•
Deliberate - Self-confident, systematic and compliant, they experience little anxiety and tackle risk and uncertainty in a business-like and unemotional way.

Eight Risk Types •
Composed - Cool headed, calm and unemotional, but at the extreme may seem almost oblivious to risk and unaware of its effect on others.
•
Adventurous - Impulsive and fearless. They combine a deeply constitutional calmness with impulsivity and a willingness to challenge traditional approaches.
•
Carefree – Impulsive, unconventional and at their best in fast moving situations, they are not good at detail. Their impatience and impulsiveness can lead to hasty and imprudent decisions.
•
The ‘Axial’ group show none of the extremes and are neutral with respect to Risk Types. They have a good appreciation of the variety of Risk Type dispositions and are a source of balance and mediation in any group.
