Today, despite the elaborate risk management plans, a significant number of projects are not successful. This suggests that risk management cannot be regarded as performing chains of actions in the sequence defined by standards. It is important to take into account the internal and external environment in which risk management will be carried out, that is, to take into account the context of risk management. At the same time, because the external environment cannot be affected by the manager, it is especially important to focus on internal conditions, including the project team risk propensity, which causes its behavior in situations of risk. However, the definition of risk propensity by direct methods is not always possible, due to which there is a need to define this parameter indirectly. The work is dedicated to the identification of the project team member’s specific personality traits, on the basis of which it is possible to make an assumption about the risk propensity. The research identified four psychological types of project team members, varying in their method of decision-making and risk propensity, respondent belonging to one of which can be assumed basing on the data about the level of its self and emotional stability. Using this data, the project manager can form a team with the level risk propensity, which is required in the specific project.
