What is the most common way you approach decision-making in everyday situations?

Select an answer:

I prefer making quick decisions without unnecessary deliberation so that I don't miss out on an opportunity. A detailed analysis of all options and the subsequent decision will calm me down. I decide intuitively, without thinking too much about the consequences. I can't decide right away and often it takes time for me to really get going. I consider the opinions of other people to make the decision seem more objective.

How do you react when you are not sure if your decision was correct?

Select an answer:

I'm seeking feedback from others to find out if I've made the right decision. I suffer from doubts, but I usually try to forget about the situation. I am looking for further opportunities in the situation to verify the correctness of my decision. I expect that everyone makes mistakes, and I don't dwell too much on my decisions. I quickly realize my mistakes and see it as an important lesson for future decision-making.

When the decision doesn't pay off, what troubles you the most about it?

Select an answer:

I usually perceive it as a personal failure, which affects me deeply. The decision bothers me only when the consequence is very serious for others. More than the failure itself, it bothers me that I couldn't foresee the outcome. I'm trying not to think too much about failure; rather, I'm focusing on gaining experience for the future. I am looking for a way to quickly resolve the issue so that the failure does not happen again.

What feelings do you have when someone else points out a mistake in your decision-making?

Select an answer:

I feel ashamed and blame myself for my negligence. I perceive it as an opportunity for improvement, but it can also make me a bit uneasy. I try to refute his opinion if I believe I have made the right decision. I feel like I should listen more, but at the same time, I'm frustrated that I didn't realize it myself. I perceive it as constructive criticism that will help me grow.

How do you usually evaluate your decisions after they have been made?

Select an answer:

I always focus on the results and whether the decision was worth it. I am carefully reflecting on what I could have done differently, even though it is already too late. If the outcome does not seem positive, I examine where the mistake occurred. I don't have time to evaluate decisions because I am focused on other tasks. I pay attention to learning, but I don't feel the need to constantly evaluate past decisions.

When do you think it is hardest to be self-critical when making decisions?

Select an answer:

When it comes to important decisions that have a significant impact on life. When it comes to decisions regarding my loved ones, I don't want to disappoint them. When the decision does not bring the expected outcome, but I still hold on to my conviction internally. I would like to be self-critical, but sometimes I shy away from negative thoughts about my decisions. It is difficult to be self-critical when the decision was not right, but I am unable to change it.

How would you react if you realized that you had ignored an important factor in your decision-making?

Select an answer:

I would blame myself and feel that it completely failed. I would try to find a way to fix the situation as soon as possible. I would try to gather more information in order to learn for the future. I would say that everyone makes mistakes and in the future I will focus on more factors. I wouldn't pay much attention to it, since the decision was still basically correct.

How do you feel about assessing your own abilities in decision-making?

Select an answer:

I tend to underestimate my abilities and often doubt the correctness of my decisions. I feel confident, but sometimes I realize that I could do things differently. My decision-making is usually effective, although sometimes I wonder if I could have done something better. Sometimes I'm not completely sure, but I try to trust my experiences. I have confidence in my decision-making, but I am open to opinions and feedback from others.

How do you cope with feelings of guilt or doubt after making a decision?

Select an answer:

I feel bad and I am trying to fix it as soon as possible to get rid of the feelings of guilt. If I feel guilty, I look for a way to improve and learn from it. The feeling of guilt often leads me to seek feedback so that I can make better decisions. I take it that I did what was best at that given moment. I am trying to ignore these feelings because it seems to me that decisions cannot always be predicted correctly.

When you realize that your decision negatively affected someone else, how do you feel?

Select an answer:

I feel a strong sense of guilt and I am trying to correct it immediately. I am trying to explain my decision reasonably and ensure that it is understood. It always worries me, but I try not to take all the responsibility on myself. I feel that I have done nothing wrong, and I will try to improve the situation in a different way. I always try to see it as a lesson and look for ways to avoid it in the future.
