ANALYSIS

High scorers are inclined to act on the spur of the moment, make hurried and sometimes premature decisions (without adequate information), may easily get into debt, don't necessarily finish what they have started and are usually carefree, changeable and unpredictable.

Those with low scores consider matters very carefully before making a decision. Liking things to be under their control, they are systematic, orderly, cautious and take their responsibilities seriously. As with other introvert traits, they may lack spontaneity and be ruled by fears.

How do you compare?

The norm on this trait is between 17-18 points (a statistical approximation). This may be represented on the following scale:

Impulsiveness 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 || 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Control
