The Living On the Edge Test

When it comes to living on the edge, you prefer to play it safe. When faced with a chancy opportunity, you weigh the pros and cons and carefully consider the potential repercussions. If the odds aren't good, you don't place your bet. You're rational and not easily seduced by the possibility of a wild time, an easy moment in the spotlight or temporary bliss. Thinking ahead is one of your strong points - sure, you may have crazy fun today, but what about the mess tomorrow? Now all this doesn't mean that you never cut loose - you may have moments when you throw all caution to the wind. Perhaps you're a risk taker in love, or in your career. In other areas, however, you would rather not gamble. Whatever the case, your approach is probably saving you a lot of headaches. Just be sure that you take some well-thought-out risks, otherwise you may miss out on some amazing opportunities!

Your score = 70

You appear to be playing a game of Russian roulette with your life. If there are the slightest odds you'll hit the jackpot, you take the chance. For you, life without risk is not really living. You'd rather suffer the consequences of an action than pass up the opportunity to score in a big way - whether that means getting a slice of adventure, snagging the love (or lust) of your life or having your time in the spotlight. The choices you are making could have some serious repercussions - if you haven't discovered this yet, you surely will in the future. While leaps of faith can keep you young and are even sometimes necessary, you should engage in some soul-searching before you take big risks. There's nothing wrong with living on the edge, but you have to be prepared to take a fall now and then.

Your score = 50

Your score showed that you sometimes live on the edge, when you feel the stakes are worth the risk. You tend to weigh possible gain against potential loss and go from there. If things are just too chancy, you are able to walk away and not look back. Perhaps you are more adventurous when it comes to certain areas in your life, like sex, career or recreation. Or you are struck by the occasional fancy to throw caution to the wind and follow that urge wherever it may take you. Either way, a word of warning: living on the edge can keep you young and shows your spunky side, but some wilder exploits can also come back to haunt you. Just keep weighing the odds and be prepared to take the occasional tumble, and you should be fine.
