Procrastination Style Quiz

We all do it. Find out exactly how you do it.

What this test measures

Piers Steel's Procrastination Equation identifies four core drivers of task delay: expectancy of success, value of the task, impulsivity, and delay sensitivity. This quiz maps those drivers onto four recognisable procrastination styles — the Deadline Dasher, the Perfectionist Pauser, the Decision Dodger, and the Distraction Surfer. Figure out your flavour, laugh at yourself a little, then maybe do the thing you've been putting off.

What the Procrastination Style Quiz measures

Your answers are scored across 4 core dimensions:

• Deadline-Driven

  You feel the pull of deadlines but can sometimes get moving before the clock hits zero. Sometimes.

• Perfectionist

  You want things to be good, and sometimes "good enough" is a hard pill to swallow, but you generally manage to swallow it.

• Decision-Resistant

  Decisions require a bit of time and context, but you generally work through them without total paralysis.

• Distraction-Prone

  Distractions are a real presence in your life, but you can generally wrangle them back when you need to focus.
