CapitalCompass - Investor profile QUIZ

I understand that this quiz is an educational tool, not financial advice and I take full responsibility for any financial decisions I make.

I'm usually at zero, or sometimes in the red

Something meaningful - €300 to €1,500

It's essentially fixed - same number every month regardless of what happens

Generally predictable, but with some months that vary noticeably

It depends heavily on clients, projects, or seasons - good months and bad months

I genuinely don't know what next month looks like - it could go either way

Less than a month. I'd need to act immediately

One to two months, then I'd be in trouble

About three months - enough to breathe and look for something

Six months or more. I've built a real buffer for exactly this

Yes. It's a significant part of my financial picture right now

Yes, some, but it's manageable and I'm paying it down

No, only low-interest debt like a mortgage or student loan

I'd almost certainly need to pull it - that money is really just a reserve

I might need part of it, depending on what happens

I probably wouldn't touch it, but I couldn't fully rule it out

That money is completely off-limits in my mind — it's invested, end of story

I genuinely don't see myself touching it for 15+ years

Portfolio A. I'd sleep better and that matters more than the extra return

Probably A. I don't know if I'd have stuck with B through the rough years

Probably B. The final number is what counts, I can handle some volatility

Portfolio B without question - the extra €10,000 is worth a few bad years

To protect what I have and not lose ground to inflation

To build a reliable passive income stream — money coming in without working for it

To grow serious long-term wealth over a decade or more

To reach financial independence early enough that work becomes optional

To fund something specific: a home, a business, a life change

Option A would bother me more — missing the upside is the real regret

Option B would bother me more — that 30% drop would have been genuinely distressing

Honestly about equal — both scenarios have real downsides

Sell everything. I'd rather lock in the loss than watch it fall further.

Sell half — reduce the damage while I figure out what's happening

Do nothing, but check it obsessively every day until it recovers

Close the app and don't look for a month. I knew this could happen.

Buy more. This is exactly the moment I'd been waiting for.

Option A - a certain €400 is better than gambling on nothing

Probably B - the upside is worth the risk of getting nothing

Option B immediately — the math favors playing

I wouldn't know until days later, if at all. I don't really follow this kind of news

I'd probably catch it in a headline, but I wouldn't know what it means for my money

I'd notice, understand roughly what it means, and maybe check my portfolio later that day

I'd see it in real time, know exactly how it affects different asset classes, and decide whether to act

Pretty disappointed. If the market did 31%, I did something wrong

A bit deflated, but I remind myself 18% is genuinely good

Fine. I don't benchmark myself against market indexes

Still satisfied - 18% is 18%, regardless of what anyone else got

Yes, more than once. Stress drives a lot of my financial decisions.

Once or twice. It's happened but it's not a pattern.

Almost never. I can separate emotions from decisions pretty well.

Not that I can recall. Emotional decisions and financial decisions feel separate to me.

Option A. Strongly I need historical evidence before I trust anything

Option A. I'd need compelling reasons to go with the unknown

Option B could be interesting depending on what it is uncertainty doesn't bother me inherently
