Have you assessed yourself on what kind of gamblers are you, this quiz which is a 2-minute nine-step quiz that will assess you on what kind of gamblers are you after you take the risk to be sure to answer the poll so the community will know how many of us here are Non-Problem Gambler, Moderate-Risk Gambler or High-Risk Gambler.
This self-assessment is based on the Canadian Problem Gambling Index. The higher your score, the greater the risk that your gambling is a problem.
Self Assessment Quiz Thank you for the link to the survey, but it seemed to me as idiotic as possible. Here is my result:
Moderate-Risk Gambler
If you scored in this range, you may already be experiencing some problems related to your gambling, like feelings of guilt or regret. Take some time to consider how much you’re spending, and be aware of how often you’re playing. If you feel like you want to make a change, or just want more information, there is help available.
I turned out to be a "Moderate-Risk Gambler" because I answered questions two and seven, "Sometimes." These are the questions:
2When you think of the past 12 months, how often…
Have you needed to gamble with larger amounts of money to get the same feeling of excitement?
7When you think of the past 12 months, how often…
Have you felt guilty about the way you gamble, or what happens when you gamble?
The fact is that larger bets give more emotions, and the same bet amount is addictive and boring (this is about the second question).
There is nothing wrong with thinking about whether it is right to spend money on gambling in general and feeling guilty about it (it's about the seventh question), when I buy ice cream, I also think about it and feel guilty (diet and all that) but this does not mean that I have problems with being overweight - on the contrary, I try to avoid them as I am a conscious person.
