Risk

What, in your opinion, is the most important feature of what Mavin Zuckerman calls "HSS"
  • If you are a high you seek high risk activities, which brings them high stimulus. There is a down fall most of these people tend to abuse drugs because of there attitude of trying new things that will create that risk for them. The most important thing is knowing that if you are a high you might be prone to get into drugs. Then once getting the feeling that the highs get will make you want to do more it grows on anyone that tries a new thing.

Does Aptor's way of explaining the evolutionary benefits of risk-taking make sense to you?

  • I understand Aptors way, he said that risk takers would be the people to try new foods or test if something was poisonous etc. These risk takers would save the life's of others, and if they survived they would get the feeling they wanted.
