The scale
The Colquitt et al has the following (risk averse, page 118):
Risk aversion was also assessed using 6 items from the International Personality Item Pool (2001). Items included:
I enjoy being reckless (R) I take risks (R) I seek danger (R) I seek adventure (R) I would never go hang-gliding or bungee jumping I would never make a high risk investmentCoefficient for this scale was .82.
I ran these from the IPIP (risk taking) :
I enjoy being reckless I take risks I seek danger I seek adventure I am willing to try anything once I would never make a high risk investment (R) I avoid dangerous situations (R) I do crazy things
