How did you do?

Score 0 – 9
Are you man or mouse? Do you always wimp out when it comes to anything risky or impulsive? Okay, so its sensible to avoid danger, but you seem to be afraid of your own shadow. It's time for you to try out and few new things in life. Fear or no fear, you'll be surprised at the confidant new you if only you can steal yourself to branch out a bit. Stop cowering in the corner and take hold of life by the short and curlies!

Score 10 – 19
You are Mr Even-Stephens when it comes to taking your chances. You're not the sort who would tight rope walk the Grand Canyon just for kicks, but you will take risks if it means achieving something else that's important to you. You're not driven by the highs of adrenaline and you’re motives are rooted in real life experience. Having said that you're not afraid to face danger if you have to.

Score 20 – 30
Wow – you are a true sensation seeker! You really do get your kicks from the high of danger. You'll push your experience of life to the very edge every time. Although you are an exciting person, you need to be careful that you don't miss out on other more down to earth things in life, like relationships, home-life and your emotional life. Your endless pursuit of adrenaline highs could leave you old and lonely or dead before your time. Take care, life only comes once.
