This seems like an actually useful quiz!

Based on that, I found out that I have a fairly high risk capacity (33) but a moderate risk tolerance (24).

For someone like me, the risk tolerance sounds about right. I've noticed that I'm starting to be a bit more conservative as time goes by. Again, it's most likely because I'm anticipating to lose my current job soon, but I think it's also because I'm starting to get older.

Now, risk capacity is what I'm slightly concerned about. However, the suggested asset allocation is 80% equities, 20% fixed income, and this is what I would have if I had went all-in on my stock trades anyways. Otherwise, I would be in more % cash.

Here's a quick explanation of the difference between

risk tolerance and risk capacity.

Anyways, how did you do on the quiz?

    I'm moderate for both, with capacity at 29 and tolerance at 32. Their recommendation is that I should consider a more modest investment strategy, with the bulk in short to medium term bonds, 12-13% in large cap, 9% in small cap, and 5-6% in international. Interesting stuff!
