A slightly different spin on this model: it’s not about the types of strategies people generate, but the number. If you think about something and only come up with one strategy, you’ll do it without hesitation; if you generate three strategies, you’ll pause to think about which is the right one. So people who can’t come up with as many strategies are impulsive.

This seems that it might be testable. If you force impulsive folk to wait and think, do they generate more ideas for how to proceed?
