Post by: noisyturtle on Mon, 02 June 2014, 21:48:14
Was sitting around not doing what I am supposed to be doing, and got side-tracked by this quiz.

I have an exam at 9am, it's 3:50am now, and I've barely studied. And yet I'm on GH and doing this stupid ****ing quiz. Sometimes I want to slap myself really hard in the face.

You Scored as Perfectionist

You are the perfectionist procrastinator. Perfectionists fear failure or not doing a good enough job. They suffer from too high standards. Lest it be less than perfect, perfectionists have trouble starting or finishing a project. However, if the procrastinator does not get an "A," the fact that he or she did not give him or herself enough time to properly do the project excuses the procrastinator from not having done a perfect job. "If I had started earlier..." is a common lament from the perfectionist trying to excuse him or herself.

Welcome to the ****ing club.   :p  I was on GH every night when I had exams, presentations, reports due.  :(  Though that was mostly this semester where I could afford to procrastinate.  That would not have worked previous semesters.

Also, why is there are range of answers for "I am under 20."??  It's yes or no.  There is no "neither agree nor disagree"...

Also also, apparently I'm an overdoer.  I think that's actually really accurate though, unfortunately.  :(

Yeah the under 20 things odd, and that there is a category just labeled 'teenager.' Suppose that just implies that people under 20 have poor attention spans, which isn't untrue. I don't think I've been around someone under the age of 20 recently who didn't pull out there phone to check it every couple of minutes, as if their life force is tied to the amount of time they spend glancing at the screen. When someone pulls out their phone I usually stop mid-sentance and walk away.

I hang out with other 23-24 year olds and literally everyone with a smartphone has it out all the time.  My roommate will be "watching" tv with me, miss something, and interrupt to ask what happened.  wtf?  Just watch the damn show, man.

That's one reason I'm glad I don't have a smartphone, cause I can't be that guy.  Only downside is when everyone you're with is okay with looking at their phones and you're left out (which is so backwards).

This is the most absurd, yet unfortunately true sentences I've read recently. It's both compulsive behavior and a form of escapism, that **** doesn't fly in the real world. I've heard about kids doing that kind of thing in the middle of job interviews, it baffling to me how someone could be OK with that.

I cycle between GH, reddit, facebook, and two email inboxes.  If I can make it through all five with nothing new in any of them then I consider my "task" completed and I move on to doing whatever I was supposed to do.  Or sleeping.

You Scored as Worrier

Your procrastination type is the worrier, who needs security and fears risk. Worriers tiptoe through life, constantly anxious about the "what-ifs." They put off decision-making and resist change, dragging out projects as long as they can.
