WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Risk-Taking Behavior Assessment Test - Symptoms and Signs
This measure is designed to rapidly screen tendencies toward risk-related choices and attitudes. The Risk-Taking Behavior Assessment can support brief clinical or research intake when a concise snapshot of self-reported risk propensity is needed. It is attributed to Marvin Zuckerman.
The instrument consists of 15 items and typically requires about 3 minutes to complete. Responses are intended to inform a preliminary understanding of an individual’s orientation toward risk in everyday situations; the Risk-Taking Behavior Assessment is best interpreted in the context of other clinical information and is not, by itself, diagnostic.
