Take this assessment (less than 5 minutes) to discover your decision making style, and then share the result with your friends.
The thought of this quiz was almost more than you could handle because quizzes are boring. Life is meant to be lived! You make decisions based on the story you will get to tell afterward. You don’t want to just plod your way through life. You want to dream, explore, and adventure your way through life. When you face a decision, you want to choose the option that leads you on a new journey, preferably one that no one else has taken.

While you may value knowledge and quizzes, in the end they do not really matter to you unless they line up with what you have heard in prayer. You are Spiritually Guided because you believe that God not only exists but that God is still active in our world today and desires for us to listen to the best plan. These are not just words to you, they are the foundation of your life, and you rarely make any major decision without clear direction from above. You quickly run to God, rather than people, when facing any decision.

It may have taken you longer than anyone else to complete the quiz, as you prefer not to make decisions. When faced with almost any decision, big or small, you want someone else to make the choice. Unlike many of the other decision- making styles, it truly does not matter to you what decision is reached as long as you do not have to make it. The more significant the decision, the further away you want to be from the decision- making process. You avoid speaking up and especially avoid any conflict that may arise in the process of a group decision.

Your number one tool for making decisions is creating a list of pros and cons. You move forward carefully in making decisions. All your friends know you as the one who does not miss a detail and has a list for every important event. If a decision is worth making, it is worth creating a list to decide how to make that decision. Lists help you research to be sure you are making the best choice. Decisions are best made when thorough research has been done. You may consult others who have made similar decisions to determine how their choices played out and what you can learn from their decisions. And then you add these opinions to your list. You may make a tree of possibilities to examine possible long-term consequences of each option. You believe the more written on your list, the better informed your choice will be.

You had very little trouble taking this quiz. Instinctively, you realized which answer fit you because you primarily make decisions according to a quick instinct. This is true for both inconsequential decisions as well as important decisions. You have a strong sense of what is inside you and how to listen to that sense in order to confidently make a decision. You may have been born with this type of instinctive decision making. Your parents can attest to the fact that you took little time to make any kind of decision even as a child. You knew what you wanted or what needed to be done and took action. Some Gut Reaction decision makers have worked to develop this skill further. Surgeons, for example, have studied their field diligently in order to make quick decisions in life-or-death situations. Athletes have developed similar instincts in the form of reactionary skills to instantly choose in the thick of intense competitions.

You are Data Driven and you cannot have enough organized information when it comes to making a decision. In fact, you would have been thrilled if this page were in spreadsheet or info-graphic form. You may be already asking, “What research is this assessment built on?” You formulate decisions based on hard data, especially numbers. Decisions cannot be made based on feelings or intuition; you need facts about the history leading up to a decision as well as reliable projections of the next month, the next year, and preferably the next five years.

While you were taking the quiz, you either turned to someone next to you to see what he or she thought best described you or wished someone was around to ask for a second opinion. You rarely make a decision independently because the power of collective reasoning is far more accurate than one person alone. Friends are your most valuable component in decision making. The more people involved in the process, the better the decision will be.
