What Kind of Procrastinator Are You?

I have never read a Cosmopolitan magazine but I know it has a lot of inane quizzes, right?

“How do you know a guy likes you?”

“Are you an oversharer or mysterious?”

“Are you good girl hot or bad girl hot?”

The list is endless!

Well, this isn’t Cosmo. This is Aiming Low and we’re gonna do a quiz – Aiming Low style!

In celebration of mediocrity, answer the following and see what kind of procrastinator you are:

When asked to complete a project with a deadline, you:
A) Smile smugly and nod as you imagine your success
B) Take on additional projects with deadlines
C) Get excited and start making a list of things to do
D) What is a deadline?

As a deadline approaches, your mood can be described as:
A) Euphoric
B) Calm
C) Panic-stricken
E) Oblivious

If you fail to meet a deadline, you:
A) Disappear into the night
B) Promise next time you’ll do something even bigger and better
C) Weep
D) Shrug

Results:

If you answered “A” to most questions:

You are The Batman of Procrastination. You appreciate a challenge and believe you can do anything. You are charismatic and everyone believes you can deliver but you spend your nights driving around in your Bat Mobile with the bass too high when you should be working. Eventually people realize that you are all talk. Sexy talk…but just talk.

If you answered “B” to most questions:

You are The Evel Knievel of Procrastination. You dream big and are a little crazy. You keep adding one more thing until you are convinced that you can jump 16 cars but then end up crashing into the last car and breaking three ribs. Are you daunted? No! Next time, you’ll clear 17 - just watch! Everyone watches but with a grimace.

If you answered “C” to most questions:

You are The Monica Geller of Procrastination. You are cute and earnest in all your Type A glory but you want everything to be perfect so you rework things a million times. When the task draws to a close, your hair is filled with pencils and scraps of paper and maybe an errant piece of toast and you are still not satisfied with your work.

If you answered “D” to most of these questions:

You are The Brittany S. Pierce of Procrastination. You find deadlines “confusing”. You find most things confusing. You stumble through projects simply hoping for the best. And you know what? It works for you. You have no stress in your life! Life is an endless musical!

I am an Evel Knievel who wants to be a Brittany S. Pierce.

What kind of procrastinator are you?
