Decision-Making Style Inventory


Description: A person's decision-making describes how they seek, organize, and weigh information.  The Decision Making Inventory is a validated and reliable 20-item Likert assessment that identifies an individual's decision making style preference. The assessment measures four dimensions. Two structural styles--Systematic and Spontaneous, and two processing styles--Internal and External.

The Systematic decision-maker prefers logical processes and seeks to analysis all parts in a problem. The Spontaneous prefers thought-chaining and tends to focus on the whole, not the parts. The processing style--how people prefer to make sense of the information in their structural style--can be Internal or External. 

The Internal prefers to analyze privately. The External needs to hear the words to analyze information. The two dimensions are combined to find a preferred decision-making style:  Systematic-Internal, Systematic-External, Spontaneous-Internal, and Spontaneous-Eternal, plotted on a four-quadrant chart.

The assessment takes 10-minutes to complete. Once the scores are plotted, individuals turn to the description of each style, where they'll find advice on when their preferred style is most and least effective, how to communicate successfully with other styles, and practical suggestions for developing style flexibility.

The most recent research into decision-making suggests that the most effective leaders are the ones who are able to adapt their decision-making style over time as their roles and responsibilities change. Discover a proven, easily understandable way to assess decision-making style with the Decision Making Style Inventory.

The Decision-Making Style Inventory is a validated and reliable 20-item Likert assessment that identifies an individual's decision-making style preference.
