Are you polychronic or monochronic?
Breakdown here.
If you’re about to say “I’m both”.. just answering with the one you are MOST like would be great.
I am definitely of the polychronic persuasion myself.

hello to all fellow polychronic flutherites out there…
According to the breakdown you posted, I’m more monochronic than anything else.
Like @Bluefreedom, I’m monochronic with two polychronic exceptions. I do many things at once, and I’m high-context and already have information.
Your link does explain why I plug away at my job while my coworkers congregate. I’m surrounded by polychronics!
It seems I’m mostly polychronic, although I have a couple monochronic attributes.
Polychronic:
Do many things at once
Are highly distractible and subject to interruptions
Consider time commitments an objective to be achieved, if possible
Are high-context and already have information
Are committed to people and human relationships
Change plans often and easily
Monochronic:
Concentrate on the job
Are concerned about not disturbing others; follow rules of privacy and consideration
Show great respect for private property; seldom borrow or lend
Emphasize promptness
That’s moi!
@squirbel Ah! Tnx! :D
Hm…..i think i might be more monochronic? I dunno! There are points from each one that i know i do!
Click his link, it shows more than what I listed.
Look at the original post. He wrote “Breakdown here.”
Most definitely a polychronic. I’ve also been told I’m a “squiggly line.”
I wonder if polychronic people get along better with each other.. same with monochronic… hmmm (finger scratches head)
I went through the criteria, and I had exactly 5 of each one—does that make me both or neither??
mono
which is disappointing
@lynneblundell Why do you find it disappointing? Neither is better than the other… just different. :)
I am defiantely monochronic
