Sample Answer

In general, I oscillate between making autonomous decisions and seeking the counsel of others, depending on the complexity of the situation at hand. For trivial matters, such as selecting a restaurant or planning a casual outing, I tend to rely on my own judgment because I prefer the spontaneity that comes with following my instincts. However, when faced with significant decisions—like career choices or financial investments—I actively solicit the opinions of trusted friends or mentors. This approach not only provides me with diverse perspectives but also fosters a sense of accountability, as external input often prompts a more thorough consideration of potential consequences. In an increasingly interconnected world, embracing collaborative decision-making can lead to more balanced and informed outcomes.
