In The Economist's article, "Women, testosterone, and finance; Risky Business," a study conducted by Paola Sapienza of Northwestern University showed that women with high levels of testosterone are more likely to take high risks than women with low levels of the hormone. The correlation is from current testosterone levels rather than from birth. What this means is that if a women has a high level of the hormone, than she is going to be more likely to take a risky job. The hormone also applies to men, but not as significantly. This is in a way why the business world is more male dominated, because women do not usually have higher levels of testosterone.
