A survey about taking risk

A survey about taking risk was done on Friday afternoon. This was the second survey I’ve ever done. Like the last one, I did the survey by asking the people walking along George Street.

This time, Riku and I were in a group. In class, we created five questions - the topic was “Are you a risk taker?” Two of these questions were about walking on the road; the third one was about relationships; the fourth one was about travelling; and the last one was about dangerous sports or activities.

There were ten people who answered my questions. For the first two questions, the positive and the negative answers were half and half. So l could find that half of them might be a risk taker when they were walking on the road, and another half might be not. For the next question about relationships, seven people said that they wouldn’t like to go out with someone they had met online. Only one person chose the answer A – of course. And then, there were seven positive answers for the question about going on a holiday on your own. These meant that most people might be a risk taker on travelling. Finally, the last one, I thought, was the most interesting question. I also got some further information from the answers of these question, which was if you have ever done any dangerous sports or activities. Six people said that they had ever done some dangerous sports or activities, such as rugby, bungee jumping, sky diving, and adrenaline forest, etc. An old lady said that she had used to do mountain climbing many times when she was young. Another middle-aged man said that he had chased a tornado when he was travelling in a group in the US last year.

By chatting with these people, I found out that many people were likely to be a risk taker, or they used to be a risk taker.
