Procrastination is a common feature of ADHD. Those with the *N*P personality type
tend to be procrastinators. Since the vast marjority of WP user seem to be I*** (interverts) that works out to those with the IN*P personality type. Oh hell and most tend to be **T* (thinking verses feeling) so that means the bulk of the INTP's here are procastinators and the bulk of INTJ's are more get it done types.

But INTP's do not feel bad you alot more creative than the INTJ's but your so lazy you
may have a hard time proving that to the INTJ's.

I'm a INFP and my middle name is procrastination.

My obsessions often get in the way. That's why I procrastinate sometimes.

There are better, and more enjoyable, things to do than schoolwork. Procrastination used to be a big problem for me as i'd put off doing an essay until eleven o'clock the night before it's due, but it is not so much a factor now,Yey! No more school.

Nowadays i find that if i have something that needs to be done i'll obssess about it and worry that i won't have enough time to get it done, or that if i stop thinking about it i'll forget and it will never get done, this encourages me to get things done promptly as there are only so many things i can concentrate on at one time.

I am a master of procrastination. I joined this site about a month ago, I think, and I've been putting off posting until now.

It depends on how long the assignment is.

I like to think I'm being a 'preparationator' rather than a procrastinator.
I might spend a little longer laying down preparational work but once I've decided I
know what I'm doing I try to finish what I've started asap
If things don't go to plan I'll simply review my procrastin.. I mean my preparations
accordingly

A wise philosopher (Edward Young) once said that "Procrastination is a theif of time".

:lol:

I procrastinate a lot..I get upset though if I mess up any kind of routine to go out of my way to complete the task..

I had about 2 weeks to complete a math project, and I did it the night before. Surprisingly, I recieved the highest score on it out of every student who turned their's in. (I recieved a 242 on it because we got 3 points extra credit for each big word we used XD)
