This study aims to know the decision-making strategies in individuals with pragmatic personality. The approach used was qualitative with a case study method. The subjects of the study consisted of three individuals who were selected using purposive sampling techniques based on pragmatic personality characteristics, i.e. oriented to results, efficiency, and practical considerations in decision making. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and observations, then analyzed using thematic analysis. The results of the study showed that all three respondents had relatively similar decision-making patterns, namely starting with understanding the problem, followed by identification and evaluation of multiple alternatives, as well as considering the advantages and disadvantages of each option. In determining the final decision, pragmatic individuals tend to choose solutions that are realistic, simple, effective, and have the lowest risk yet provide the optimal benefit. Additionally, in the face of important decisions, respondents showed a cautious attitude by calming themselves, not rushing, as well as partially considering the opinions of others as additional evaluation material. Overall, the findings of this study suggest that pragmatic personality plays a role in forming logical, adaptive, and real outcome-oriented decision-making strategies in daily life.
