It's all up to the personality of your individual cat combined with your interactions with your cat.
I have a halfway crazy likely EG cat who is a very difficult critter to live with. But she's NEVER bitten or scratched at me. Even when rough-housing with her (yes, I know I probably shouldn't encourage it), she's very careful and never hurts me.
On the other hand, my friend has a plane Jane long-haired calico cat that bites and scratches me (and most anyone else) with almost no provocation (offering finger to smell).
So you be the judge.
With the exception of EG cats that can be much more "iffy", I think Bengals are probably no more likely to bite or scratch than any other cat. And with any cat - ANY cat - it all comes down to the individual cat's personality combined with its interactions with people (including how it is raised, etc.).
Raise your cat well, be kind to it, and if need be, consult a cat behaviorist or read books about cat communication and interaction so you can be better prepared to understand how your cat "works".
