3. Results: What’s Your Decision-Making Vibe?
Mostly A: The Analyzer
You love a spreadsheet moment. You dive deep into research, analyze all possibilities, and prefer to have all the data before making a move. Your attention to detail makes you a reliable decision-maker, but sometimes you get stuck in the loop of “what if?” and perfectionism. Your challenge is to embrace the idea that not all decisions need to be flawless to be right. Trusting yourself to make decisions without every possible answer can lead to faster and equally effective outcomes.
Tip: Learn to spot the point where “good enough” is enough and avoid getting bogged down in endless details.
Mostly B: The Intuitive
You’re guided by your gut feelings and tend to trust your instincts. Often, your intuition leads you to the right choice, and you don’t need a list of pros and cons to make up your mind. You have a natural ability to sense what’s best for you and those around you. However, your challenge is to balance intuition with practical thought. Grounding your instincts with a bit of planning can ensure that your spontaneous decisions have more long-term benefits.
Tip: Before jumping into a decision, take a moment to breathe and assess the situation – a little mindfulness can strengthen your gut instincts even more.
Mostly C: The Seeker
You love seeking advice from everyone – your friends, family, and even your pet (if it could talk!). You gather as many opinions as possible before making a choice, but sometimes the flood of input leads to confusion and indecision. Your challenge is to trust your inner voice. All the advice in the world won’t replace your own judgment. Start giving more weight to your feelings and values in decision-making, and notice how it strengthens your confidence.
Tip: Practice filtering advice through your own lens. Take a moment to reflect on your own desires and values before asking for external opinions.
Mostly D: The Avoider
Decisions make you anxious. Whether it’s big life choices or simple daily decisions, you tend to delay and avoid making them altogether. But avoiding decisions doesn’t give you control over your life. Your challenge is to embrace the act of choosing, even if it feels uncomfortable. Taking small, low-stakes decisions can help build confidence in your decision-making abilities, and over time, you’ll find yourself more at ease with bigger choices.
Tip: Start small. Set an intention to make one decision a day – even if it’s as simple as what to have for dinner. With practice, your confidence will grow.
