It may take some work on your part to accurately identify your personality type. A good starting point is to look at the chart on personality-based time management types. It is based on the Enneagram personality model,1 which describes nine primary personality types that are motivated by different needs, such as knowledge, success and relationships. While you may want to consult other resources for more comprehensive information, the chart does highlight the key indicators of different personalities and offers basic solutions to various time-related concerns. Fives, for example, see time as a series of events from which they can derive wisdom.
Sevens act as if time is endless and are wildly optimistic about how much they can do.
Each type also has its own time-effective assets and liabilities. Eights, for example, have clear goals and a solid game plan, but they often don't solicit input from the people who might enhance the game plan and they lose time mending fences. Because each personality type views time differently and has unique assets and liabilities, each demands a different set of interventions. Since motivation plays such a key role, it is also important to determine what internal messages are most likely to stimulate greater productivity. For example, ones have very high standards and don't enjoy their accomplishments because they tend to focus on what still could be done.
