A method of determining a short term driving tendency and a system of controlling shift using the same that reflects precisely a will of a driver on the shift by determining a short term driving tendency is disclosed. The method may include detecting input variables, determining whether determination condition of the short term driving tendency is satisfied, calculating tendencies and output membership function values according to a plurality of fuzzy rules based on the input variables if the determination condition of the short term driving tendency is satisfied, and determining a short term driving tendency index based on the tendencies and the output membership function values according to the plurality of fuzzy rules.
