Unsure Note to OP: "Unsure" is nearly always a bad choice to include in a survey, because a lot of people will choose it. Forced-choice, even though it's uncomfortable, will give you data with more distinguishing characteristics.

I wouldn't skydive if it wasn't for the great bunch of skydivers I hang out with either :) 7. When seeking a thrill, I am willing to put myself at risk I think you got the question wrong. Any skydiver ALWAYS accepts SOME risk. It's not "risk" or "no risk", there's always some. The question is how much of it you accept. I won't do things where I don't feel in control.. But I do like to go to the edge of that, if that makes any sense 8. I believe that my knowledge and competence makes me less susceptible to the dangers of seeking risky thrills. ____Strongly Disagree ____Disagree ___Unsure ____Agree ____Strongly Agree 9. I would rate my health as: ____Excellent ______Good ______Fair ______Average _____Poor 10. I am open to experimenting with new sensations even if they are illegal. ____Strongly Disagree ____Disagree ___Unsure ____Agree ____Strongly Agree I wish you'd just ask whats on your mind here... are we drug addicts, is that it? .

GalFisk 0 #21 May 28, 2013 I like surveys. I don't know why. So here goes: gender: M age: 31 1. When it comes to thrill seeking, which description best fits you: c) Adrenaline junkie is probably closest. 2. What type of thrill seeking activities do you actively engage? Skydiving. Occasional gokart racing. Occasional rollercoaster rides (this was my main thrill before getting into skydiving) 3. How many hours per week do you concentrate on these activities? 12 or more - every weekend I can I'm at the DZ. 4. How much experience do you have in your given thrill? 3 years or more - soon 4. 5. Given the following scale, how would you rate the risk involved with your thrill(s)? 5. 6. Choose the phrase that best fits you: a or c. 7. When seeking a thrill, I am willing to put myself at risk Define risk. All skydiving has risk. I try to minimize risk, but not avoid it. 8. I believe that my knowledge and competence makes me less susceptible to the dangers of seeking risky thrills. Agree. I always want to learn more, and learn from the mistakes of others.Quote 9. I would rate my health as: Good to Excellent. 10. I am open to experimenting with new sensations even if they are illegal. Unsure/depends. Making fireworks is illegal in my country without a permit. But I'd never use drugs (legal or illegal).

Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?
