Yes, I think quickly and make quick decisions.

My mind synthesizes information and orders it logically very quickly on an intuitive basis that I trust.

I make fast decisions about situations I have been in before.
People relationships I like to think it over and not make emotional decisions or at least know why I am.
As far as the decisions about life changing events its good to armed with info and thought. If you are being pushed to think fast then it is probably not a good idea.
Men and women are both capable of thinking on the fly and coming up with solutions I don’t believe this is a sexist thing.

I’m a fast thinker, although I think I’m progressively getting stupider than I was in high school and college. Grad school = stress = kills brain cells.

I have trouble making decisions about emotional or life-changing situations. I take a long time to deliberate, but then I am very good at sticking to my decisions.

People usually make decisions in the time they have available. If we have less time, we’ll make intuitive decisions. If we have more time, we do more analysis, unless we have no talent for analysis, in which case we still use intuition.

Personally, I can make quick decisions, but I prefer to deliberate and make sure I’m making as good a decision as I can.

Businessmen usually have to make quick decisions. Good businessmen are those who guess right more often than most. But that doesn’t mean they are any better than other businessmen. It is more likely to mean they got lucky. Once you get lucky, it is easier to make your own luck.

To avoid making poor decisions, you must know a lot about the topic you are making a decision about. The more you know, and the more information you have immediately available, and the better your analytical capabilities, the better your decisions will be.
