A pilot who feels a constant urge to act immediately, captured by 'Do it quickly,' is showing which hazardous attitude, and what counters it?
- A.Macho; taking risks is foolish
- B.Impulsivity; the antidote is to slow down and think first, since not everything must be done at once
- C.Invulnerability; it can happen to me
Correct answer
B. Impulsivity; the antidote is to slow down and think first, since not everything must be done at once
Why
Impulsivity trades thinking time for speed, exactly when a situation deserves a pause. Its antidote is deliberate: stop, consider the options, and only then act.
