Thrill Rating Comments:
~ The 'thrill' definition changes at some point along your involvement in many given activities, it moves from one of a thrilling feeling because of the 'danger' perceived on the activity's face...to one of 'thrill / exhilaration' at achieving a goal through training and preparation, that many, including you yourself may have thought impossible.

6. Choose the phrase that best fits you:
_X_a) I may not be an ‘adrenaline junkie’ but I like the opportunity to engage in thrill seeking activities because I enjoy it/them.
___b) I am a true thrill seeker. I chose this lifestyle because I enjoy mastering my discipline.
___c) I participate in thrills to promote a positive outlet for stress rather than seeking negative sensations.
___d) A rush of adrenaline and knowing that I just cheated death keep me coming back.

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?

I doubt if your reply is needed for the survey, unless the OP is the world's slowest student ...

Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?
