Decision Making Style Inventory Participant's Workbook

The Decision-Making Style InventoryYour decision making describes how you seek, organize, and weigh information. Research has proved that people who succeed are able to identify and adapt their decision-making styles as new tasks demand.The Decision-Making Inventory Participant's Workbook is used in conjunction with the DMSI. The Decision-Making Inventory is a validated and reliable 20-item assessment that identifies your preferred decision-making style on a two dimensional scale-two structural styles-Systematic and Spontaneous, and two processing styles-Internal and External. The Systematic decision-maker prefers logical processes and seeks to analyze all parts in a problem. Spontaneous decision makers prefer thought-chaining and tend to focus on the whole, not the parts.The Participant's Workbook offers advice on how your preferred style is most and least effective, how to communicate successfully with other styles, and practical suggestions for developing style flexibility.Praise for The Decision-Making Inventory"I have followed the development of the DMSI since its inception 20 years ago.
