A few days ago this was on the TV, from a series I routinely watch.

The online quiz is badly designed, in my opinion, but I enjoyed the
article. It's all about human limitations when it comes to making
choices.
Just a little something to ponder over Easter. :-)

You are a Satisficer
You aim for "good enough". An excess of choices are unlikely to bother
you much because you make a decision early and move on.
Not that "Satisficer" is a proper word, but it's pretty accurate.

I'm an Extreme Maximiser, apparently :)
Never read the article, though.
