When I have something to do, I

Put it off for a while until the timing is better or I’m in the right mood

Get right to it so I can move on to the next thing

Wait until the last minute – I work better under pressure

When I do something

I am usually disappointed in myself and think I should have done better

I am happy when I’ve done my best, even if others appear to have done better

If my results aren’t good enough for me, I start over and try again to improve on them

When faced with a challenging situation, I am seen as

A devil’s advocate, pointing out what might go wrong, but hoping it doesn’t

Negative-nelly, always pointing out everything that could go wrong so we don’t waste time trying and failing

Someone who provides valuable insight into the pros and cons so we are better prepared

The statement that best describes me is

No matter how hard I work or what I do, it’s never good enough and neither am I

I am my own worst critic and am very hard on myself, often making multiple revisions or corrections before I can complete a task and move on

I pay attention to detail, and like things orderly and organized, but get things done and keep moving forward

When the party ends and the guests go home for the night, I

Can’t go to bed until I’ve completely cleaned the house and thrown away the trash

Clean up any spills, make sure the food’s put away, and round up some of the remnants, but finish cleaning tomorrow

Might remember to put the cold stuff away before I hit the sack, but the rest can wait until morning.

When I have to complete a challenging task, I

Worry that my result won’t be good enough so I don’t try or quit before I’m done

Give it my all, and if it doesn’t work out or go my way, I use it as a learning experience and try again

Am concerned I won’t be up to the task and will fall short

When I need to assign a task or chore to someone else, I

Might as well just do it myself, that way I know it will be exactly what I want

Make sure they understand what’s expected and support them so they can get it done

Hope they understand what I want, but expect it to take several attempts to get it right

When thinking about my reputation and relationships with others, I believe I

Am constantly in fear of being discovered as a fraud or an imposter in the midst of “more competent people”

Tend to downplay my skill and expertise, or use self-deprecating humor to try to reduce expectations others may have of me

Have a healthy blend of humility, confidence and self-esteem

When I need to make a decision or take action on something, I

Review the information available and apply my skills and knowledge to move forward

Usually double and triple check my analysis before taking action

Need to collect more information before acting, even if that means delaying indefinitely

10.

When it comes to personal goals or expectations, I

Set them so high I almost never accomplish them, no matter how much time or money I spend

Usually don’t give myself enough time or resources to accomplish them as well as I’d like

Make them challenging, but allow enough time and resources to realistically accomplish them
