Quiz: Are You A Past, Present, Or Future-Oriented Person?

Are You A Past, Present, Or Future-Oriented Person?

Your friend asks you to go to a party on a weeknight. What do yo say?

What image speaks to you?

What color scheme speaks to you?

Pick a person to spend the day with:

And lastly, do you like change?

You tend to have a hard time letting go of the past. You're more likely to re-enter past relationships even if it didn't work out so well the first time around. You can't help it – you're a total sucker for nostalgia. You're not a huge fan of change, and you tend to not venture very far from your comfort zone. Just remember that the past is just that – in the past. Enjoy the present because one day, that present will have turned into the past, and you'll be nostalgic for a time you weren't really present for in the first place.

Past

You're more likely to make reckless decisions in life than those who are past- or future-oriented. You tend to adapt quickly to new environments but jump into new situations a little too fast. You're fun to hang around with, but you can sometimes put people on edge with your sense of immediacy. Just remember where you came from and where you'd like to go. The present can turn into a sort of prison if you let it.

Present

You're much more likely to be successful in life in comparison to past- or present-oriented people. You may sometimes come off as too serious to some people, but you always have their back because you're a loyal friend. You always think about what things could be and never settle for less than your best. Just remember to enjoy the present every now and then. There wouldn't be a future if it weren't for the past and the present.
