The odd$-$numbered items pertain to a linear decision style, and the even$-$numbered items pertain to a nonlinear decision approach. Linear means using logical rationality to make decisions; nonlinear means using primarily intuition to make decisions. Of the five terms you chose, how many represent rationality versus intuition? If all five are either linear or nonlinear, then that is clearly your dominant decision approach. If four terms are either linear or nonlinear, then that approach would be considered your preference. If the terms you chose are mixed $($that is$,$ three of one approach and two of the other$),$ you may use a quasirational approach to decision making. The rational, intuitive, and quasirationality approaches to decision making are described in the text.

In$-$Class Application: Form into groups of two to four people. Share your scores and preferences for a linear $($rational$)$ versus a nonlinear $($intuitive$)$ decision approach. Which decision approach is more prominent in your group? Share whether each member expected their score or if it was a surprise. Which approach does each member think would be more effective for a practicing manager? Why
