I took this assessment for an online class
http://userpages.umbc.edu/~koconne1/605TheAdultLearner/pquiz1.htm
My scores were highest in "Dreamer Worrier" Procrastination Styles. Followed by "Perfectionist", surprisingly.
Then This:
The Crisis-Maker Procrastinator
Characteristics
When faced with an undesirable task, crisis-maker procrastinators go from one behavioral extreme to the other: first ignoring the task (underracting), then feeling intensely caught up in it (overreacting).
Crisis-maker procrastinators tend to dramatize situations, making themselves the center of attention.
Crisis-maker procrastinators are easily bored and resist the “dullness” of doing things rationally and methodically.
Crisis-maker procrastinators feel a need to prove themselves by living on the edge.
Change the Pattern
Change how you think
Practice creative visualization focusing on relaxing and gaining a peace of mind.
Understand that you may not feel interested in doing something until after you get involved in it.
Identify other self-motivators besides stress.
In thinking about a task, try to focus at least as much on facts as you do on feelings.
Strive toward changing your thinking style from extremist and general to moderate and specific.
Change how you speak
Avoid overdramatic, polarized language.
Use more “thinking” words and fewer “feeling” words.
Stop characterizing yourself in conversation as incompetent or victimized.
When discussing a task or responsibility, try focusing on the positive or active, rather than the negative or reactive.
Change how you act
Keep a record of repetitive crises in your life.
Figure out methods for handling things so that you can avoid – or more successfully manage – recurring crises.
Create your own motivators to change a boring task to a more interesting one.
To counteract your need to stimulate yourself by creating false emergencies, engage in healthier activities that will get your adrenaline running.
My Low Scores were "Overdoer", with "Defier" as the lowest.
