Watching the morning news and a segment referred to a Wall Street Journal article on how there are two basic styles of making decisions. One is looking for the "very best" (maximizer) and the other is "it's good enough" (satisifcer).
What style are you?
From the article:
The article:

After tallying my score on that 13 question quiz, I only had a 33 out of 91 (7 times 13), so I'm pretty much a satisficer.

What style are you?
From the article:
Psychology researchers have studied how people make decisions and concluded there are two basic styles. “Maximizers” like to take their time and weigh a wide range of options—sometimes every possible one—before choosing. “Satisficers” would rather be fast than thorough; they prefer to quickly choose the option that fills the minimum criteria (the word “satisfice” blends “satisfy” and “suffice”).
