  • Description: It is a matter of common observation that individuals differ greatly in decision time, accuracy, and constancy of or consistency in subjective decisions. It is generally supposed that the slow in decision are both more constant and more accurate than the quick. "Slow bat sine" is a popular maxim. The chief purpose of this investigation was to determine the actual nature of these various decision types—to see, for example, whether "quick but sure" and "slow but unreliable" are not equally true of certain classes. In other words, it was desired to ascertain the relation between decision time and constancy, between time and accuracy, and also between the subjective and objective decision types thus determined. A further purpose was to determine the correlation subsisting between these decision factors (viz.: time accuracy and constancy) and other mental traits such as memory, association time, suggestibility, attention, etc (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
