Quiz: Discover Your Procrastination Persona

Welcome to this unique self-assessment designed to help you understand your level of procrastination.
Procrastination, derived from the Latin word ‘procrastinatus,’ which means ‘deferred until tomorrow,’ isn’t always negative. It can be a useful tool for managing priorities and enhancing creativity. However, excessive procrastination can hinder productivity and personal growth. This quiz will help you find out where you stand and how you can harness the power of procrastination positively.
For this assessment, I'm following the lead of Dr. Michael Breus in his book "The Power of When" where he used animals as avatars for the four chronotypes. By using wild cats to symbolize different levels of procrastination we gain an intriguing perspective, comparing human tendencies to the instinctual behaviors of these fascinating creatures.

These "Procrastination Personas" allow us to explore the natural balance between action and inaction found in the animal kingdom. It highlights the idea that procrastination is not merely a human flaw but a broader behavioral spectrum that can have various implications, depending on how it’s managed. Each “wild cat” offers a unique take on the strategies behind action and delay, providing insights into managing procrastination in our own lives.
