Abstract:This study examines to what extent 1) individuals show consistent performance differences across typical behavioural decision-making tasks, and 2) how those differences correlate with credible real-world correlates of good decision making. Performance scores on individual tasks usually showed small, positive inter-task correlations. The findings indicate that poor decision making on common tasks is related to real-world antecedents and consequences of poor decision making.
