Procrastination Queen

Even though I prefer being a princess, queen just fits my talent in this area much better. I procrastinate anything and everything that does not grab my interest or requires even minor road blocks to be removed first... its so bad! and its totally a symptom of ADD....

BUT I've recently learned about a personality classification system that may also explain this in my life to some extent... its called D-I-S-C or something like that... and I am an "I"... I am very much an "I"... which apparently accounts for my rapid mood changes in response to minor (good or bad) shifts in circumstances; as well as the tendency to be unable to stick to one specific task for very long... well, anyway, it pegged me pretty well... which means I'm pretty close to the extreme... scary! :-) But I also have some "D" ... but I'm really an "I"

Super simplified grid:

* * * * * * * * * * * * People-focused * * * Task-focused

Active/Outgoing
* * * * Influential * * * * * * Dominant

Passive/Internal* * * * * Steady * * * * * * * Conscientious

ignore the stars... they are merely for placement of the words. Pick one from the top choices and one from the side choices and find the D-I-S-C that lines up between them
