This interview question aims to determine your approach to taking risks, and whether it aligns with ADP's "One-of-a-Kind Culture and Values", where they detail their approach. How you answer will help them determine whether you take well informed calculated risks while exercising sound judgement, or if you will be more of a liability for their company.

"I'd say that I am pretty conservative when it comes to taking risks. I've never been much of a gambler and prefer to play it safe. So, if we're in a crunch, and a decision needs to be made now, and I don't have all the information on hand. I will pool the resources I do have to make as informed a decision as possible. I would take into account the consequences of my decision, and would be prepared to hold myself accountable. But, playing it as safe as I do, I feel pretty confident in my decision making."
