The source of this scale is: Inspired from ideas in C. W. Allinson and J. Hayes, J, "The Cognitive Style Index: A Measure of Intuition-Analysis for Organizational Research," Journal of Management Studies, 33 (1996), pp. 119-35; S. G. Scott and R. A. Bruce, "Decision-Making Style: the Development and Assessment of a New Measure," Educational & Psychological Measurement, 55 (October 1995), pp. 818-31.

The statements in this self-assessment describe how individuals go about making important decisions. Read each statement in this decision making style inventory and indicate the extent to which you personally agree or disagree with the statement. Answer each item as truthfully as possible so that you get an accurate estimate of your decision making style.

I make decisions more on facts than my gut instincts.
I feel more comfortable making decisions in a logical and systematic way.
When making decisions, I rely upon my intuition more than anything else.
When I make a decision, it is more important for me to feel the decision is right than to have a rational reason for it
I won't make a choice that doesn't feel right, even when the facts indicate it is the right choice.
My decision making tends to involve careful analysis of facts and weighting of decision criteria.
When I make a decision, I trust my inner feelings and reactions.
The best decisions I make are based on detailed analysis of factual information.
