The present study aims to design a practical tool to assess the extent of adolescent Iranian students’ tendency to various variables of risk-taking, and also to determine its psychometrics features, assess the status quo, recognize and determine the vulnerability borders, and identify the groups exposed to danger. Descriptive method (tool psychometrics) was used in this study. The research population was composed of 304 9th-grade female students of Tehran junior high schools who answered the research questionnaire after the authors obtained the permission of Education Ministry authorities, and when 5 school principals expressed readiness to cooperate with the research team. The questionnaire was designed to assess the tendency to risk-taking in Iranian adolescent students with 38 questions. The formal validity of the questionnaire was approved by experts. In addition, the reliability of the questionnaire was calculated 0/91 through Cronbach's alpha method. The findings of factor analysis showed that this questionnaire with 9 variables (tendency to fearless driving, rulebreaking, tendency to destruction and aggression, relationship with the opposite sex, tendency to move away from family, tendency to interpersonal violence, tendency to socialize with high-risk peers, tendency towards smoking and drugs, and tendency to harm oneself) explains 57.17 percent of the total variance.
