What Kind of Decision-Maker Are You?

The "What kind of decision-maker are you?" survey developed by Scott and Bruce aims to assess individuals' decision-making styles. While we make countless daily decisions, the process is not as simple as it may seem. Various factors influence our decisions, such as our family, values, emotions, advertising, and societal pressure. Another crucial factor that shapes our decision-making is habits, which constitute our unique decision-making style. This survey helps individuals identify their decision-making style by answering a series of questions. It is an adaptation of the General Decision-Making Style questionnaire developed by Scott and Bruce in 1995.
