What does your score mean?
According to your score, you seem to have very little difficulty maintaining your focus on a task and following it through until completion. You have the self-discipline to buckle down and focus when necessary, even in the midst of distraction. This is a great trait to have and likely pays off both at work and in your everyday life. Good job!
Your score = 77

What does your score mean?

According to your score, you seem to have a rather short attention span. You tend to have a great deal of difficulty maintaining your focus on a task and following it through until completion. People who have short attention spans tend to jump from project to project and are often known to be quite disorganized. This frequently results in missed deadlines, tardiness, and bills being paid late. An inability to pay attention for an extended period of time could be a result of fatigue, a medication side-effect, or you may simply have a personal issue weighing heavily on your mind. However, it would be a good idea to visit a psychologist in order to assess whether Attention Deficit Disorder may be an issue.

One of the typical ADD problems I never had problems with was making it to appointments, class and work on time.

Some questions I was borderline on... since I can really focus to the exclusion of everything else and not get distracted. And I am not always late... if I am going to someplace new... or there is a very rigid important deadline... I make it a point to get there on time. It's usually related to my comfort actually... the more comfortable I am at a place... the more I start showing up late.
