Questionnaire Description

This questionnaire aims to identify the way each individual usually makes important decisions in their life. There is no right or wrong way of decision-making; every person has their own unique style. Participants are asked to indicate whether they agree or disagree with 30 statements related to their decision-making process.

Data Analysis and Use

The responses are scored to determine whether the individual tends to make decisions rationally, intuitively, or dependently on others. The data can be used for psychological analysis and understanding of decision-making patterns, as well as for developing appropriate interventions or counseling.

Objective

To identify the primary decision-making style of each participant (rational, intuitive, or dependent type) to enhance self-awareness and adjust decision-making strategies accordingly.

Scoring

The “YES” answers to each statement are scored as 1 point. The statements are grouped into three categories: Rational Type: 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 28. Intuitive Type: 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 23, 26, 29. Dependent Type: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30. The total “YES” score in each category indicates the dominant decision-making tendency for the individual.
