I can be very impulsive and I can be very contemplative. I don't think fear plays a role in either case, though-there are simply some things I prefer to weigh more carefully (such as choosing between new computers), and some things that are totally on-the-fly (such as biking over the side of a cliff). I tend to take things on a case-by-case basis, and sort whatever becomes of it one way or the other.
I don't like living with regret, so if I feel a quick decision is merited, I'll choose quickly, and if I feel I need to learn more about something, I'll give it more thought.
