Does having a high risk imply that I will suffer from the condition or present the personal trait?

No, since inherited conditions and complex traits are regulated by genetic factors and environmental factors.

Genetic risk measures the impact of the genetic factor on the development of an inherited condition; however, environmental factors ultimately have a strong impact on the development of the condition or on presenting a trait.

A clear example is the relationship between lung cancer and tobacco consumption. In this case, a person with a high genetic predisposition to lung cancer, but with a healthy lifestyle, may not develop the disease. On the other hand, a person with little genetic predisposition, but who is a smoker and has poor habits, may end up developing it.
