Summary

The Decision-Making Individual Differences Inventory (DMIDI) is a validated psychometric tool assessing traits and biases influencing decision-making under risk and moral ambiguity. It measures dimensions like risk aversion, moral foundations, and cognitive reflection—helping to understand how individual differences shape choices.
