Tally up the number of times each letter appears in your responses.
Goal-Getter
You’re a goal-getter! You’re driven, disciplined, and love tackling challenges head-on. Your ability to plan, stay focused, and take consistent action sets you apart. Keep nurturing this mindset by setting realistic goals and celebrating small wins along the way!
Balanced Approach
You strike a balance between being proactive and occasionally delaying tasks. While you have good intentions, distractions or lack of motivation sometimes get in the way. Work on building stronger habits and breaking larger goals into manageable steps to maintain momentum.
Goal-Delayer
You lean toward being a goal-delayer, you often put things off until the pressure builds. While this approach might work for you in some cases, it can lead to unnecessary stress and missed opportunities. Start small by committing to one task at a time and rewarding yourself for early progress.
