Question

These are steps in the decision-making process except for _____.

know yourself
identify options
create at least two plans
select the best option

Answer 1

Option A is the answer, Know Yourself.

There are different steps involved in making a decision like, You identify that you need to make a decision, you gather relevant information, you identify the alternatives, you choose an alternative, you make a decision and then you review the consequences.

In this whole process, it is not necessary to know yourself. You are not making an assessment of yourself. You are going to make a decision. So it is not needed to focus on yourself while making a decision.

Answer 2

Since decision-making processes can be implemented in a variety of circumstances, the steps tend to be as general as possible so that the methods can be adapted in a diverse set of situations. Thus, from the available options, the choice that would not be sensibly found in steps in making decisions would be (A) know yourself.

That option would be applicable in a decision-making process that is related to personal choices, but would be unsuitable to be used in a decision-making process for situations such as deciding which marketing approach to be used for selling a product.
