Procrastination Type Test: What Kind of Procrastinator Are You?

About this instrument

Everyone procrastinates, but for different reasons. Some wait for perfection, some feel anxious, some only move when the deadline is close, and some get stuck on "one more video". This test helps you find your procrastination type so the fix actually fits.

What you'll get:

Your main procrastination type out of six

A type card to save and share

Strengths, telltale signs, and anti-procrastination tips for your type

A chart of all six types and your second type

About this test: 24 statements, about 4 minutes. This is a self-reflection test , not a validated psychological test.

Source: Mindovia Original. Questions, type names, and result texts were written by the Mindovia team. The six types draw on procrastination research, including temporal motivation theory and the role of impulsiveness (Steel, 2007), procrastination as a way of escaping unpleasant feelings (Sirois & Pychyl, 2013), active procrastination that deliberately waits for the deadline (Chu & Choi, 2005), and the procrastination styles popularised by Linda Sapadin (1996). This test does not use items from any procrastination scale.

What it reflects on

• The Perfect-or-Never
• The Overthinker
• The Deadliner
• The Big Dreamer
• The One-More-Scroll
• The Overbooked

How to take it

Choose how well each statement describes you.

There are no right or wrong answers.

Answer based on what usually happens, not what you wish happened.
