Just to ruin your day, choosing random answers doesn't do any damage :) This is all about statistics, and also about comparing with a control group. I assume the authors have (or can get) baselines for all the questions here. They look like the kind of questions Dan Ariely would work a lot with. So it doesn't matter that the questions are context dependent. If HNers massively answer one way while the college student population doesn't, you have a difference you can work with. Of course, it's not a definitive answer but it's still valuable information. As for the results, I'd guess entrepreneurs are more risk averse then average, but also more inclined to chose rewards in the future.
