Decision Making and the Cycle in Evaluation Related to the Subjectivity of an Individual

Abstract

This paper deals with the individual subjectivity reflecting one's personality. The authors consider that the resulting contradiction of human judgment appearing in evaluation (e.g. paired-comparison by an individual person) does not represent the difference from the standard but the individual subjectivity reflecting one's personality. Such a contradiction in paired-comparison is defined as a cycle. Usually a cycle represents an opinion of an individual person. But it is also possible to consider that a cycle contains more than one opinion.
This paper states that a cycle can be treated the individual subjectivity reflecting one's personality by the fundamental pattern and the pseudo-interval order from the view point of decision making.
