Are you a good decision maker?

Yes? What exactly does that question mean? What defines someone as a good decision maker? Sometimes I think of people who make fast decisions as good decision makers (DMs), and people who make slow decisions as bad DMs. But, really, a fast decision is not inherently better than a slow one except in emergency situations.

However, slow DMs might not be carefully analyzing their alternatives, but just stalling and avoiding making a decision. And perhaps some fast DMs lack the intellectual capacity to evaluate their alternatives.
