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 do not act are often afraid of failure, but you learned to look at failure as a means to collect important information. 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 little 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 enjoy good results.
You have an excellent work-life balance. You are a flexible and adaptable person, and your actions match your words.
Low
You are more of a thinker than a doer.
You enjoy thinking about your potential, perhaps even planning things, but the work itself doesn’t bring you much pleasure.
You tend to start projects and then abandon them.
You like books and movies because they stimulate your mind and give you new ideas.
This tendency isn’t necessarily a weakness. There are positions where your planning and organizing skills can be put to good use while others take care of execution.
