Decision Making Style Inventory

Everyone has their own personal preferred decision-making. And according to the most recent research, a professional’s career progresses in part because of the ability to adapt and change his or her decision-making style.

Knowing your style, then, is a starting point for uncovering potential career roadblocks and utilizing your full potential. Award-winning author and former president of the International Society for Performance Improvement, SPI, Bill Coscarelli, has designed the Decision Making Style Inventory (DMSI) to help professionals identify and evaluate their decision-making preferences.

In this webcast, Dr. Coscarelli will discuss the tremendous value of identifying and understanding decision-making styles of the DMSI. He will also detail how the DMSI assessment identifies these decision-making styles while showing how DMSI helps professionals apply what they’ve learned into improving their performance and leadership. The DMSI is based on over 25 years of research and you will see that it adds a new dimension to some of the interpersonal and intrapersonal styles we commonly use—not just a rehash of old models.

The Decision Making Style Inventory is a validated and reliable 36-item Likert assessment that identifies an individual's decision-making style preference. The assessment identifies four outcomes based on two style preferences: Two structural styles--Systematic and Spontaneous, and two processing styles--Internal and External.

In this Inventory the two dimensions are combined to find a preferred decision-making style: Systematic-Internal, Systematic-External, Spontaneous-Internal, and Spontaneous-Eternal, plotted on a four-quadrant chart. Once the scores are plotted, individuals turn to the description of each style, where they'll find advice on when their preferred style is most and least effective.
