One of the ideas from the article that I found interesting was, "Whether you've given it a thought or not, the way you perceive time can influence your happiness today and all your tomorrows." I agree with this quote and I think it's spot on.
After taking the survey, I found that my time-perspective on Past-Negative is 3.20 which is higher than the average. I found that my Past-Positive though, was lower than the average, 3.78. My present-fatalistic is 1.89, which is higher than the average, and my present-hedonistic is 3.00, below the average. And finally, my future perspective was 3.62, which is also above the average score. According to the survey, I am more of a past-positive-oriented person.
I both agree and disagree with some of my results, especially. I thought that my present-fatalistic would've been higher than it was because, in general, I'm a fairly dedicated person. I like it when I get work done before it's due. But I agree with my presnt-hedonistic score because I can get distracted a little more easily than I would like to. Sometimes I might rush a little on my work in order to get to something a little more exciting. I also disagree with my past-negative score because I didn't really have a bad childhood. Sure, there have been a couple of situations that I regret and wish I could go back and change, but I don't really worry or think about it that often. For the rest of the results, I agree with them and I would say that this survey is fairly accurate.
