Results and Explanation
Thank you for participating in our study!
The RQ score ranges from 0 (low RQ) to 100 (high RQ). Your RQ score is 76. Such a score is high.
Risk intelligence can be measured by calculating something called a âcalibration curveâ. The graph that is displayed above, is your calibration curve
The graph below illustrates the relationship between your level of uncertainty and the likelihood estimates that the test asks you to assign to various statements. If you are completely uncertain as to whether a statement is true or false, this is indicated by stating that the statement is 50% likely to be true. If you are completely certain that the statement is false, this is indicated by giving a likelihood estimate of 0%. A likelihood estimate of 100% also indicates complete certainty â but in this case, you are certain that the statement is true.Uncertainty image
Risk intelligence really comes into its own when you are neither completely certain nor completely uncertain â in other words, when you give estimates from 10% to 40% or between 60% and 90%. This is the twilight zone between the stuff you really know and the stuff about which you donât have a clue.
In our culture, doubt is often perceived as a sign of weakness. In the financial sector in particular, macho attitudes played no small part in stoking the bubble that burst in late 2007. What if the bankers who were making all those dodgy loans in the preceding decade had undergone regular calibration testing? Itâs an interesting thought.
