For most situations do you just do things or do you have to plan them ahead of time. Do you make to-do lists and think about things you need to do when you get off work/school or for the weekend?

I'm more spontaneous, but my girlfriend is a planner, so I get caught up in that all the time.

You?

I'm pretty spontaneous. Scratch that, I AM spontaneous, though I always review what I've done to patch it up before handing it in...

I used to be more spontaneous, but with a baby, I have to plan ahead of time now.

Planner, I don't like being surprised very often with important things.

Depends on the situation. When I was in high school, me and my friends would plan things and then be spontaneous while we follow the plan :P Like we plan to go out to the mall on Saturday, we all get there and then we just do whatever we feel like doing there :P Sometimes we think of something and then we end up at a friend's house.

Both. I make plans but I'm spontaneous enough to easily go away from said plans. I have thus been accused of being both too goal/plan oriented and too spontaneous/random (by ex-girlfriends). I'm weird like that apparently. I often try to balance out extremes (Some could say I'm an introverted extrovert for example).

For stuff like vacations, where you can actually save a lot of money by booking flights or hotel rooms ahead of time, then I tend to be a planner. For just about everything else, I'm just completely spontaneous. Both my 360 and my PS3 were spontaneous purchases when I was bored at the time.

Mostly spontaneous, but if I have a lot to get done, I have to plan it all out.

I always plan what I do, and get somehow frustrated if things don't go as planned.

To get an idea of how much of a planner I am: I plan to be in the lane I need to be in when I'm driving somewhere (so if I ever need to make a left turn in my travels, I stay in the left-hand lane until I make the left turn, and so on and so forth).

I tend to overthink things, and analyze situations too much. I weigh the pros and cons before doing something, I guess that is a reason why I haven't had too much luck with the ladies :(

Im very spontaneous. My cretivity is derived from the now. I'll be chilling in my room then all of a sudden "WHOA! Nazi Bears riding unicorns and carrying lazers! This could be a best seller!" then I start to type.

Oh crap, I am sorry. I am a little OC, but I have learned to control it If you have OCPD, that means it is to the point where it interfers with your daily functioning (hence the Disorder part) I would not have made light of it if I had known that...I appologize Please continue driving in 1 lane :)

I am most definitely a planner. Unless it comes to buying things, then I am very spontaneous.
