Original self-reflection questionnaire · Full results free
Reflect on 24 time-management habits from the past two weeks. Read four separate means, examples and small actions, including skipped answers. Full results free.
24 questions · about 6 minutes · no signup
Think about the past two weeks. When a relevant occasion occurred, how often did you do what each statement describes? Choose never, rarely, sometimes, often or almost always. If no occasion occurred, or you would rather not answer, use the unscored option. Each of four parts needs all six frequency responses for a mean; a skip withholds only that part. Six minutes is an editorial estimate, with no timer. Use your own work, study or day-to-day responsibilities; do not assume that every interruption or deadline was under your control.

All questions and full results are free, with no signup. Saving is optional; only saved attempts can be resumed after a refresh or language change. Tab drafts expire after 24 hours and clear on completion or retake.
This original FermatMind reflection separates priorities and capacity, workable steps and estimates, attention and returning after interruptions, and reviewing or renegotiating plans. It describes reported behavior rather than tested time-management skill. There is no overall productivity score, personality type, normal range, career-fit percentage or hiring recommendation. Four public guides remain complete at every mean and when information is insufficient.
Each part contains six original items. Answers use 1 to 5, with two reverse-worded items per part scored as 6 minus the response. Divide the keyed sum by six and display one decimal. For example, 23/6 is shown as 3.8. The means are not summed, normalized, ranked or converted into percentages or types.
All six frequency responses are required within a part. A no-occasion or prefer-not-to-answer choice is not zero and is not filled or prorated. The affected part has no mean, while other complete parts still do. Near or identical means do not prove equally strong skills, and one decimal does not establish a meaningful difference; inspect the actual situations privately.
Each full guide gives its six-item scope, more and less frequent signals, a concrete work example and one optional action. Higher is not universally better, and external constraints matter. No formal norms, meaningful-change threshold, employment prediction or psychometric validation has been established for this edition. You can finish here or separately choose an interest assessment if your question concerns preferred work activities.
Read what each of the 4 parts explores. Your complete result presents them together; they are not mutually exclusive personality types. These public guides contain no one’s answers or personal means.
This part asks how often you checked competing commitments against the time actually available during the past two weeks. Its six items cover choosing a priority, accounting for fixed responsibilities, checking a new request, resolving conflicting deadlines, including necessary rest or care, and avoiding an already impossible commitment. It does not measure how important your work is or how much control you have over its timing.
This part concerns the planning behaviors you reported over the past two weeks: finding a startable step, including setup and checking time, revising estimates, identifying prerequisites, leaving room for foreseeable interruptions and defining a stopping point. It is a record of reported habits, not a timed planning task or an exam of estimation accuracy.
This part covers six reported behaviors around attention: reducing a controllable distraction, keeping a return cue, tracking a switch between tasks, choosing a smaller step when time is fragmented, clarifying availability and delaying a non-essential notification. It does not measure sustained-attention capacity or screen for an attention disorder.
This part concerns what you reported doing after a plan met reality during the past two weeks: updating next actions, comparing actual and estimated time, revising an impossible deadline, raising a delivery risk, deciding what to continue or stop, and checking carried-over work. It does not measure a manager’s performance rating, honesty or objective reliability.
It describes four groups of reported habits during the past two weeks. It does not observe completed work, test skill, establish personality or predict employment.
The groups cover different behaviors and may coexist. Their keyed means are kept separate, with the same full guides available at every value. Similar numbers do not establish equivalent ability.
The affected six-item part has no personal mean. Complete parts still show theirs. Skips are not zeros, and all four public guides remain readable.
This original self-report has no established selection validity, norms or qualification threshold. It is offered for voluntary adult reflection rather than deciding another person’s opportunities.
No. Opportunity, workload, autonomy, memory and language may affect answers. A concrete situation is a better place to begin a discussion; the mean does not identify a disorder or assign blame.
All 24 items, four complete guides and result readings are free without signup. Explicit tab-draft opt-in lasts up to twenty-four hours. Completion or clearing removes the draft. Copying shares only the public title and link.
FermatMind wrote the items, four groupings, scoring, examples and Chinese wording. The linked university resources discuss practical time use in academic settings. They are background sources, not authors of this questionnaire or evidence validating its scores. This is not Carson Tate’s inventory, an established TMQ, a timed performance task or a diagnostic screening instrument.
These sources provide background, not validation of this questionnaire or an individual diagnosis.
