System I thinking is characterized as being fast, instinctual, and relying on intuition and gut feelings to make quick judgments or decisions. In contrast, System II thinking is slower, more deliberate, and involves more effortful cognitive processing. Therefore, Jonah's reliance on his gut instinct suggests that he is using System I thinking. The other answer choices, Type A and Type B, are not relevant to the dual-process theory of thinking.
