People with medium to high motivation levels typically have average to low risk tolerance. The reason for that is that risk tolerance decreases with increased motivation levels.

People with high to extremely high motivation levels tend to have low risk tolerance. Because their goals are so important to them, they tend to be more risk-averse than those who have weak levels of motivation. Contrary to what one may imagine, the higher your motivation, the lower your readiness to risk and vise-versa [research]. Despite a popular belief, high risk tolerance is not at all necessary for goal achievement.

Another interesting note is that highly motivated people don’t get their hopes very high, while unmotivated people tend to think that things will work out just fine anyway.
