Welcome to the Decision Making Individual Differences Inventory (DMIDI)!

To add a measure, try this form and see this sample for what it may look like in the end.

To modify a measure already here, write to webmaster@sjdm.org. Eventually we will set up a better system.

The DMIDI was developed by Kirstin Appelt with Kerry Milch, Michel Handgraaf, & Elke Weber. The DMIDI is currently maintained by Dave Hardisty.

The DMIDI is a catalogue of over 200 individual difference measures commonly used in judgment and decision-making research.

Basic descriptive information (including references & scale information) is available for all measures. Measures that are publicly available are posted for easy downloading for research and educational use only. Detailed information on history of use (including significance and consistency of results) is available for a subset of measures.
To learn more about the various individual difference measures, please click on a category below or to the left in the navigation bar. You may also peruse the alphabetical list of measures. Please be sure to see our sample measure that explains our approach.
If you would like to acknowledge use of the DMIDI, please cite our paper, which introduces the DMIDI, provides an overview of individual differences in JDM, and offers recommendations for future individual differences research in JDM:

- APA has redesigned the interface through which its journal articles can be accessed. In order to view even the abstracts of APA journal articles, you will need to create a free APA account (you will be prompted to do so if you click on any links to APA journals).
