Risk Type Compass® Assessment
The Risk Type Compass personality assessment focuses on differences in
the way individuals perceive, react to and manage risk, as well as how
they make decisions. Based on extensive global psychological research,
it places individuals into one of eight distinctive Risk Types,
providing insights that have important implications for individuals,
teams and the organization.
When risk management strategies fail, it is almost always because the human factor in the equation has not been addressed. It is important to recognize that individuals vary markedly in their disposition towards risk and, of course, that includes Risk Managers. A Risk Manager who is informed and self-aware in this regard is better placed to appreciate the various challenges of compliance and to react to and manage the human dimensions of risk within the company and within their own team.
PRMIA has partnered with Psychological Consultancy Limited to provide the Risk Type Compass and Feedback session.
While risk management has previously focused on procedures, processes, regulation and legislation, Risk Type Compass uniquely assesses the risk-taking nature of individuals. By identifying critical individual differences in risk appetite, organizations can maximize potential and balance the contributions of risk-takers and more risk-averse individuals.
Though applicable to all industry sectors, Risk Type Compass has particular relevance within the banking, investment, finance, insurance, energy, manufacturing and consulting sectors.

Learn more about the Risk Type Compass
Clearly distinguishing between Risk Type, Risk Attitude and Risk Tolerance, the Risk Type Compass presents a practical framework that helps organizations to attain risk management goals. It provides high-utility assessment of deeply rooted dispositions that exert a constant and pervasive influence on resilience to risk, risk-taking behavior and decision-making. Using the power of psychometric methodology, it significantly improves human factor due diligence and risk management effectiveness.
By mapping the location and prevalence of Risk Types within an organization, Risk Type Compass enables risk propensity to be identified and managed. Viewing the risk landscape in a tangible way allows organizations to make decisions about the overall risk culture and the extent to which there are departmental or divisional differences.
