Livng in the Past Article and Assesment

The article Do You Live in the Past, Present, or Future? taught me that it is important to have a balanced time perspective. It said that it is important to know the way we think because it can help your creativity flow.

      My time perspective profile showed that I had the highest score on past posotives, my past positives was much higher than the ideal score. My past negatives was a 3.3 which is higher than the ideal score. My Present-fatalisticy score was a lot higher than the ideal score but was the average score of people who took the survey. My Present-hedonisti score was lower than the suggested score but close to the average. Finally my future score was the closest to the suggested score and was 3.23.

     I think that this survey gave an accurate summary of how I really am. I think that my past scores were higher than the averages because I do tend to draw on memories from the past to guide me along. The survey suggests a lower past score however my highest score was past positives so at least I am focused on the happy memories rather than the negative. My present scores were both about average and only a little below the suggested score. I think this is accurate because I tend to focus on the past and future more than the present moment. My future score was the closest to the suggested score and I think it's accurate because I think moderately about future outcomes but I don't let them run my life.
