One of the most strongly pronounced of my personality traits is that I am very careful and cautious. I am very safety minded. I never take unnecessary risks. I always take the route that minimizes risk. One never sees me wading in waters that are known to be infested with alligators. I am wary and danger- conscious and just don't very often do dangerous things. Not things that are very dangerous, at least. I am one to always do the sensible and rational thing. I always calculate the risks associated with different possible paths and options and these risk considerations play a big role in the decisions I make. Aug 1986 More from SolitaryRoad.com:
