In the day to day life, people have to make decisions that propel them to the next level of achievement. It may start personally with just deciding to wake up and goes so far as even making decisions that affect the world. There are many theorists, all over the world, who have developed styles and methods of making decisions and the expected results. The paper will discuss three methods of decision making, John Holland’s six personality characteristics and the exceptions to confidentiality. Harren, Scott, and Bruce made an interesting study on the decision-making styles. Parents have different ways of relating to their children. Their kind of authority to their kids makes them grow up with a certain mind shape about life. Authoritarian parents set very high standards for their children. They have high expectations from them but the children do not have a say in the decision-making process. Children grow up knowing that they have no expression of their own. Democratic families allow their children to contribute freely to decision-making processes (Madureira, Reis, and Marques 520). Parents have moderate expectations from their children. Permissive parents allow their children to become more active in decision making without interference. Parents have no expectations of them. They rely on impulses and no guidance from parents. In democratic and permissive families, children have higher levels of independence. As they become adults, they do not necessarily depend on a guide for life decisions. Children from permissive parenthood may not have the capacity to make the right decisions. When people rely on intuitive styles, they make decisions based on emotions and feelings. Schvaneveldt and Adams also support this intuitive decision-making style (Sofo 160). When there is no motivation, the person becomes disoriented from participating in meaningful decision making. The dependent style policymakers tend to rely on others for consultation. When there is little or no guidance, the person fails in decision making. The planning style requires an individual who gathers information and evaluates potential outcomes (Wagner and Simpson 96). John Holland studied personality types and their relationship to their environment. The Realistic person likes to work with tools and animals. Such people tend to avoid common places and activities. They may not become teachers or doctors because it would mean associating with people. Investigative people deal with scientific and mathematical problems (Jordan 260). They avoid leadership roles or activities that involve persuading people to do something. They cannot become good salespeople because of their nature. They see themselves as being intellectuals and precise concerning the matters that they handle in their daily lives. Artistic people involve themselves with creative things like art, dance, and creative writing. They distance themselves from repetitive and highly ordered activities. They have creative abilities and find an excuse just to expand their skills in that area. They are always independent and original in their thinking and operations (Jordan 260). Social people like associating with others and helping them whenever they
