Can you think of the last time you made a difficult decision? What values were important for you? Check up to three of the following statements. When making decisions: I ask people with more experience for advice and guidance. I ask my parents what I should do and usually follow their advice. I ask my friends what I should do and usually follow their advice. I make sure that I protect myself and that no one is messing with me or trying to take advantage of me. I try to make as many people who are affected by my decision as happy as I can. Keeping the peace is important to me. I try to do what I know is the right thing to do. I don’t have much trouble knowing what is right. My difficulty is in getting others to see and do what I know needs to be done. I take care of those persons who are suffering or are in need. Helping others is more important than helping myself. I try to do what needs to be done and what others affected by my decision will admire and applaud. I pray for guidance and insight and remember my religious training. I always look for the uniqueness of any situation. I want time to investigate any possible decision so that I can know as much about it as possible and fully understand it before I decide to act. I want to know and do the right thing. One way I can is to check and see what others around me are doing and thinking. I want my decision to be supported by others. I like doing things that I haven’t done before and I like to keep my options open. I am willing to try something new in making a decision. I realize that I may not know what to do and try to sit quietly in hope that what I should do will be revealed to me.
