Ok, that was about the dumbest survey I have ever seen.

I didn't even bother finishing it becaue most of the questions were of the form (or worded to be similar to this):

How do you rate your tolerance for risk:

A) Very tolerant
B) Somewhat tolerant
C) about average
D) Not too tolerant
E) I don't like risk



Uhm, why didn't they just have one question:

What is your risk score (pick a number from 1 to 100): ___

LOL they eventually want to charge $30 for this?

A real survey would never ask you a direct risk question, rather it would have studied the way people react to other things in their life and develop a formula to determine risk. An example might be a question asking at what point do you start looking for a gas station:

A) half tank
B) quarter tank
C) eigth tank
D) just above empty
E) when the light comes on

Actually when I think about it, even this fits the above wording. Well, I don't know exactly what type of question would be appropriate, but then I am not trying to charge $30 for crap either.
