Initial testing of the Hype Type Revealer with more than 600 retail investors found its training intervention reduced high-risk investment decisions by 34.9%, even 7 days later.

59% of respondents recognised countdowns like the ticking clock in 'Saw' as a tactic designed to make characters act rashly, while just 5% said they would be suspicious of the pressure created by a rising investment price graph.

Nearly 1 in 10 survey respondents own NFTs (non-fungible tokens).

1 in 4 survey respondents own cryptocurrency.

Around half of the survey respondents hold a stocks and shares ISA.
