The personal fable is the belief that one is special, unique, and invulnerable, which can lead to risk-taking behaviors. Those with a high personal fable score are likely to show more sexual risks, drug use, and delinquent acts. Additionally, adolescence is a time of heightened sensation-seeking, so those with a high sensation-seeking score are also likely to engage in these types of risky behaviors.
