Functional impulsivity
open-in-new
<p>Functional impulsivity is a tendency to make quick decisions when it is optimal and beneficial. This <a href="/facts/Impulsivity/WrjoEyg5">impulsivity</a> is in contrast with <a href="/facts/Dysfunctional_impulsivity/RJYVngU7">dysfunctional impulsivity</a>, which is a tendency to make quick decisions when it is not optimal. Although both types can be associated with inaccurate results, functional impulsivity is often considered a point of pride because it can help individuals take full advantage of opportunities. </p>
