I’m definitely in the deliberation camp. I’d rather ponder over the potential consequences of an action at length rather than make a decision I might come to regret.
However, I also know I can take this to an extreme, which sometimes means I don’t do things I should because I don’t act fast enough.
I’m a deliberator. Definitely. I think. Let me consider it and get back to you.
While I don’t deliberate forever, I do try to collect as much information as I can to make a well-informed decision. I am what one of the books I have calls a satisficer (not a maximizer) — I get roughly 80% of the information I need and then make up my mind..
