The True Jedi ⬜⬜⬜⬜ Balanced in risk seeking ⬜⬜⬜⬜ Balanced in loss aversion ⬜⬜⬜⬜ Balanced in magnitude sensitivity I lost -$1,018,389.5

I guess "balanced in magnitude sensitivity" means I wasted time on the small bets that barely affected my total earnings... I probably should've clicked randomly on those


Here are my results:

The Trigger Puller ⬜⬜⬜⬜ Somewhat risk seeking ⬜⬜⬜⬜ Somewhat loss seeking ⬜⬜⬜⬜ Balanced in magnitude sensitivity I earned $192,818.76


The Microgambler ⬜⬜⬜⬜ Very risk averse ⬜⬜⬜⬜ Somewhat loss seeking ⬜⬜⬜⬜ Somewhat magnitude sensitive I earned $1,609,865.1
