Are you an impulsive person?

Definatly.

Dianne, 16
Ontario  CANADA

I'm not impulsive at all. In fact, I would probably benefit from a shot of it.

Felicia, 35

, MA   USA

I'm a lazy person, so I don't often act impulsively. I'm a verbal person and do far too much snapping-by-reflex.

Jill, 60

Yes, I enjoy doing things spontaneously and impulsively. I am also very well organized when that is more appropriate.

Jane, 60

Yes, and I also have the following disorders to prove it:

Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Bipolar Manic Depression
Anxiety & Aggression

Hmmm... I was when I was younger, like about twelve years old or so... I really could get in rage rather quickly, and then I didn't have any control over myself...and today, I still feel trembling all over if someoneinsults me, or says things that really go totally against all I value, like human life or dignity.

No. not really. I don't think it has to do with me not doing things that I suddenly want to do; I never suddenly want to do anything. The few times when I have wanted to suddenly and impulsively do things, I've sometimes done them, sometimes I haven't. But generally I don't really want to do sudden, unexpected things.

Johanna, 18
OK  USA

Somewhat. In some areas I'm extremely impulsive.

Fisch, 45
Preston
, CT   USA

Yes I am afraid to say I am and then I regret it later. I am compulsive in different things but not the right ones.

Marci, 56
Diamond
, OH   USA

Yes and No I guess. To do something that may cause me embarassment I'm impulsive, but to do something that may cause me some sort of harm, I*'m rather hessitant.

Jaden, 21
Brampton, Ontario  CANADA

Sometimes.

Karen, 21
Marshalltown/Ames
, IA  USA

Yes, I am a very impulsive person. This quality is one of my best traits but also one of my worst. I tend to follow my heart instead of my head and this has gotten me into a lot of apartments I can't afford, and caused me to buy a lot of things I don't need. Also, I have great difficulty sticking to a diet.

Reba, 50+
Silver Spring
, MD  USA

Not really. I usually stop and think things out.

Janet, 44
E. Brunswick
, NJ  USA

Not generally.

Talia, 24
Wilton
, CT   USA

Not really. My husband pretty much beat impulsiveness out of me. Ironic considering my family and friends consider my marrying him an impulsive act.

Laura, 36
Lowell
, MA   USA

Sometimes I'm impulsive.

Patty

somewhat. . but i try to measure out my spontaneity carefully. . .
