What is the term for a wishy washy person?

Question

I used jisho.org and could not find the term. A person unable to make a decision. Thank you.

How about this? jisho.org/search/優柔不断 – Kenji Mar 20 '17 at 13:41 — Kenji, Mar 20 '17 at 13:41

It depends on the context what term I would use. Here are a few examples from ALC

My go-to Japanese term for wishy-washy is 中途半端

To me, that term means something more along the lines of "half-assed" than "wishy-washy." – Kurausukun Mar 20 '17 at 17:02
Yeah, it definitely isn't a direct translation of wishy-washy and can mean quite a few different things. It just depends on context and how exactly you want to use it. – dallinski Mar 20 '17 at 17:14
