<p>The fact that I spent 15 minutes of my life taking that test proves that I'm not a workaholic; I think it's a little off.</p>
<p>57... But that's because I never really answered 4 for any of them... Always is a strong word. And so is never... so I didn't really answer 1 either. I got a lot of 2's.</p>

<p>it doesn't seem all that accurate...</p>
<p>i barely got a 70</p>
<p>Just looking over the test, I would expect that I get a mid to upper 80s</p>
<p>Haha, I used to be a lot more like that than I am now. Now I'm wayyy more laid-back; in freshman year I never watched TV and never spent more than an hour using a computer for nonacademic purposes.</p>
<p>So I got the highest score (88). That's sad</p>
<p>65... eh. almost highly overdoing it... but it's probably just all my senior stress killing me, haha.</p>
<p>71- workaholic i am.</p>
<ol>
<li> but I'm so lazy. It's complicated. I have a serious procrastination problem with an accompanying guilt complex. As in, I won't DO my homework, but I can't stop worrying about the fact that I'm not doing it. Instead of watching tv or sleeping like normal slackers, I clean obsessively, write, shop, and cook, among other acceptable procrastination alternatives.</li>
</ol>
<p>It's complicated.</p>
<p><em>thinking about how much of a workaholic I am while procrastinating…</em> speaks for itself. I got 50.
seashoresideshow, I’m the same way, I hate the mandatory curriculum, but I invest a lot of time and energy into learning things which interest me. Life’s too short to take performance achievements so seriously unless you view it as a hobby/cause… (not talking about poor, stressed out Asians who are grateful that their parents are bashing them into med school). What’s the point if I’m not happy?</p>
