Doer or Thinler? The Action Mindset Assessment Tool. Printable

High

You are a doer! You know that those who make progress are the ones who take action and that consistent action will take you where you want to be.

Those who don’t act are often afraid of failure, but you’ve learned to see it as a way to gather valuable insights. To you, failure is a way to find out what doesn’t work. Knowing what doesn’t work brings you closer to discovering what does work.

You prefer to take action rather than just talk about your plans.

However, you might be a bit of a compulsive action-taker. Consider taking some time off to reevaluate your lifestyle and make adjustments.

Some people use work as a way to reduce anxiety and avoid uncomfortable emotions. As a result, they become workaholics. Workaholism may lead to strained relationships and physical and mental health problems.

You don’t want to be one of them.

Average

You enjoy all stages of a new project, including planning and executing.

You don’t tend to procrastinate, and you enjoy seeing good results.

You have an excellent work-life balance. You’re flexible, adaptable, and your actions match your words.

Low

You are more of a thinker than a doer.

You like imagining possibilities and mapping out plans, but the execution often feels less rewarding.

You tend to start projects and then abandon them.

You like books and movies because they stimulate your mind and give you new ideas.

It’s not necessarily a weakness — your strengths may lie in planning and organizing, while others take care of carrying things out.
