I'm not sure how I came to know this - I think I first heard of it over 30 years ago. I've probably read a number of books about risk since then, some of which may have also mentioned the bimodal distribution, but I'm afraid I can't remember one.
Thanks.
I am now curious in what other traits or values correlate with someone's place in this bimodal distribution.
I still haven't been able to find any of the early research which I remember, but searching for "standard gamble" on google brings up lots of related results
