An investor profile quiz modeled on the suitability process used by brokerages
Before recommending any financial product, regulated brokerages and banks in Brazil are required to run an "investor profile analysis" (suitability), which combines risk tolerance, time horizon, knowledge and financial situation to classify the investor into a profile tier.
This quiz follows the same logic with 10 questions covering investment horizon, emergency reserve, reaction to losses, knowledge and income stability, and returns one of 5 profiles: Conservative, Moderate, Moderate-Bold, Bold or Aggressive.
How the result is calculated
Each of the 10 questions has 4 answer choices worth 0 (most conservative) to 3 (most bold) points, adding up to 0-30 points total. Question order is shuffled on every attempt, but the question set itself stays fixed, just like a real suitability questionnaire, which can't vary its items if it wants a consistent classification.
The final score determines the tier: 0-6 Conservative, 7-13 Moderate, 14-18 Moderate-Bold, 19-24 Bold, 25-30 Aggressive, 5 tiers instead of the traditional 4, since real suitability questionnaires vary from institution to institution (this isn't an academic model with a fixed category count), and an intermediate transition tier is common in practice.
Important: this is an educational quiz and does not constitute investment advice, nor does it replace the formal investor profile (suitability) analysis required by CVM regulation, which must be performed by a licensed financial institution before any investment.
