x x x x x x x x x




ANS: C x x



Decision making is a complex cognitive process often defined as choosing a particular
x x x x x x x x x x x x



course of action. Problem solving is part of decision making and is a systematic process that
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x



focuses on analyzing a difficult situation. Critical thinking, sometimes referred to as
x x x x x x x x x x x x



reflective thinking, is related to evaluation and has a broader scope than decision making
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x



and problem solving.

x x x x x x x



consideration. Decision making can occur without the full analysis required in problem
x x x x x x x x x x x x



solving. Because problem solving attempts to identify the root problem in situations, much
x x x x x x x x x x x x



time and energy are spent on identifying the real problem.
x x x x x x x x x x

x x x x x x x x x x x



solving is used

judgments will always play a part in a person's decision making, either consciously or
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x



subconsciously.

by each person's value system.

numbers, and sequential ordering, whereas right-brain thinkers excel at nonverbal ideation
x x x x x x x x x x x



and holistic synthesizing.
