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:

Because of copyright issues, we cannot upload articles that are not from open
access journals. Instead we link to these articles via their publisher's websites so
that you may view the abstract. To view the entire article, you will need a personal
or institutional subscription to the journal/publisher/society.
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).
