PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP) — Question 122

During a project review meeting, an executive scrutinizes the risk section, including risks on the watch list, and demands action to close them out.
What is the executive's risk attitude?

Answer options

• A. Averse
• B. Seeking
• C. Neutral
• D. Tolerant

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The executive's insistence on taking action to mitigate risks indicates a risk-averse attitude, as they are not comfortable with unresolved risks. The other options imply different attitudes: 'Seeking' suggests a desire to take on more risk, 'Neutral' indicates indifference, and 'Tolerant' means accepting risks without urgency to address them.
