Decision Pattern Assessment

Use this directive for clients experiencing significant indecision, particularly when a recurring pattern seems to be the source of their conflict. It is most effective when a client is at a crossroads—like a career change or major personal choice—and feels stuck. The tool externalizes their often-unconscious approach to making choices, creating a clear and objective starting point for your work together.

The assessment functions by isolating a client’s foundational preference for either stability or novelty across various life domains. This method bypasses direct debate over the presenting problem, instead generating clear data about their default style. You can then examine whether the client’s inherent pattern supports their stated goals or is the primary source of their current impasse.
