Decision Making Quiz
To Help You Make the Right Life-Changing Decision
You’re at a crossroads and you’re trying to figure out how to make a hard decision.
You're trying to choose between job offers, or cities, or apartments.
You’re wondering if you should get married, or break up, or have a baby.
You’re thinking about going freelance, or starting your own business.
Whatever it is, if you're asking yourself "Am I making the right decision?" then you need help. This decision making quiz will guide you to the right choice.
First, identify the two options you're deciding between
Maybe that's:
going to grad school vs. getting a job?
breaking up vs. staying together?
taking a new job offer vs. staying at your current company?
moving to a new city vs. staying where you are?
getting a dog vs. not getting a dog?
Call one choice "number 1" and the other "number 2".
Now, for each question, just circle the choice that answers it best.
1) Which choice is more aligned with your values?
Choice #1 Choice #2
