Psychologist Frank Farley has spent years studying people who jump out of planes and drive fast cars, as well as those who climb Qomolangma. He refers to the personalities of these people as “Type T”, with the “T” standing for “thrill”. 5 Speaking to the LA Times about the “Type T” personalities, Farley said, “They’ll say, I’m not taking risks, I'm an expert...'They don't want to die and they don’t expect to die.” 6 Research also suggests that our desire to seek risks can be connected to how much we expect to benefit from the result. “Type T”--thrill-seeker personality--are those who are likely to take risks and seek thrills.
