Why Are There Six Decisions?

In the risk activity, clients are presented with six decisions where they will make tradeoffs between risk and reward at varying levels of investment opportunity. You may be wondering why there are six decisions.

Example of the Six Decisions

In short, six decisions are the minimum number of decisions our calculation engine requires for the results to be statistically significant. If clients were to complete fewer than six decisions, the statistical significance of the data would decrease, and client Attitude to Risk and Sensitivity to Loss scores will not be as accurate with six decisions.

If the risk activity were to have more than six decisions, the results would be further validated, but the additional rounds of decisions are unnecessary and wouldn’t change the results significantly enough to warrant additional rounds. It would also unnecessarily lengthen the client experience.
