Which Risk Attitude Components are related to Intelligence?

In this thesis risk attitudes and inter-temporal choices are related to intelligence. By comparing and reviewing existing research on the subject the form and nature of this relation will be determined. Several subjective attitude components are considered: Likelihood insensitivity, risk aversion, and time preferences. Based on the combined knowledge of existing papers it is concluded that higher intelligence leads to more risk neutral and more patient behavior. For the component likelihood insensitivity indications of a relation are found, however to truly determine the nature of this relation more information and research is required.
