🧠 Decision Making Style

Based on Barry Schwartz's Paradox of Choice theory — discover if you're a Maximizer or Satisficer

Question 1 of 7

When shopping for a product online, how do you usually decide?

I check 5+ sites, read reviews, compare specs — I want to be sure I'm getting the best
I check 2-3 top options, pick one that looks good, and move on
I usually buy the first reasonable option I find

After making a big purchase, how often do you second-guess yourself?

Often — I keep checking if there was a better deal I missed
Sometimes — especially if I see a better option later
Rarely — once I decide, I don't look back

When planning an emergency kit, you would likely:

Research every possible scenario, create a comprehensive list, buy everything at once
Research the most common scenarios, buy the essentials, add more over time
Start with a basic pre-made kit, upgrade only if needed

How do you feel about making decisions under time pressure?

Anxious — I need time to evaluate all options properly
A bit stressed, but I can make a solid call quickly
Fine — I trust my gut and adjust later if needed

When someone recommends a product or plan, you:

Thank them, then do your own thorough research before deciding
Listen to their reasoning, check 1-2 sources, then decide
Trust their judgment and go with it unless you have a specific concern

How many options do you prefer when choosing something important?

The more the better — I want to see the full landscape before deciding
A curated set of 5-7 quality options is ideal
2-3 clear options — too many choices overwhelm me

Which statement resonates with you more?

"The best is the enemy of the good" — I strive for the best possible outcome
"Good enough" really is good enough — perfection is a trap
It depends on the situation — some things need perfection, others don't
