The SORT Test ℠ (Scientific Ordering of Risk Tolerance) is an instrument that has been developed by Dr. Mary Anne Knolle, a noted professional in Change Management and Risk Tolerance. After working as a university professor and while working as a management consultant Dr. Knolle developed the SORT Test ℠ which calculates risk tolerance to a variety of life experiences in both normal and stressed conditions. Then as a psychologist in private practice, she revised the test for use with individual and family clients. The original SORT Test ℠ was first created in 1977 for analysis of employees during periods of transition or change. The test evaluates four sets of coping strengths. Each coping strength set has its own kind of risk tolerance. The test has been evaluated and revised over time using the specific identifying traits of these four coping strength sets while being tested continually for validity and reliability. The test was recently revised for use in the financial field to assess client risk tolerance. Certified Financial Planners, Estate Planners, Bankers, Accountants, and other professionals now have a tested methodology for assessing and analyzing the Risk Tolerance and the investment direction for existing and prospective clients. The SORT TestSM paves the way for the investor and the financial planner to have the same understanding of their individual and shared risk tolerance providing strategies for financial success.
