Decisiveness

Use of speed and caution to make decisions.

  • Low / Deliberate - Analyzes decisions - Moves methodically
  • High - Conventional - Accepts risk - Moves quickly

More deliberate individuals value methodical analysis when making decisions. Even in trivial matters, they like to take as much time as they need to feel comfortable moving forward. Often, they will rely heavily on other people’s opinions to make the right choices.

People who are bold prefer to make decisions quickly, even when more time is available, and have a high tolerance for taking risks. They feel comfortable making decisions with minimal information and don’t feel the need to consult others before moving forward.
