You can make some good back of the envelope attempts at answering it. For example, you can look at how often the big red slice forcibly intrudes on your life to your detriment, and compare that to how often it happens to other humans with similar risk-taking habits to you. The more often, the bigger your personal red slice is.

I can be cautious and look out for them, which should certainly help me reduce them, but these things are almost by definition the things that you don't notice.

I true perspective of how much you don't know you don't know would have to take into account the possible sum total of all knowledge; good luck with that.
