I need help thinking of a word?

Question

I'm looking for a word or otherwise great way to say 'ability to think quickly and make decisions under pressure.' Something like improvise, I don't think that's exactly what I'm trying to say, but it's the best I can up with. Anyone know any other ways I could say this? It's for letter of interest for a job, fyi.

Answer 1

articulate

Answer 2

impromptu, extemporaneous.

Proactive.  Decisive

Answer 3

Are you trying to describe "mental agility"? Or perhaps "extemporize"? or maybe even do something "off the cuff" or "on the fly"?

That's it. I'm tapped out.

Good luck!

Answer 4

I think improvise is exactly the word you want.  

Answer 5

"quick thinker and good decision maker" , " quick thinker and able to make good decisions under pressure" , " quick thinker and can make good desicions when pressured"

Answer 6

Answer 7

you could either say " good problem solver" or "intellegent"

Answer 8
