An Analysis Of The Ability Of Individuals To Predict Their Own Risk Tolerance

Abstract

This paper analyzes the capability of individuals to accurately estimate risk tolerance. Using a database of respondent answers to a psychometrically valid questionnaire, calculated risk tolerance scores are compared to respondent self-assessed risk tolerance scores. In general, gender and education are the most significant factors in explaining the ability of individuals to accurately forecast their own risk tolerance score.
