Is it Personality? or Attention Deficit Disorder

Here's a great article for anyone who wonders if they have ADD, or feels maybe they are just really creative and get bored easily.  Like me!  I've always needed lots of variety, creativity and challenge in my work...I'm an ENTP!  I took this many years ago and scored off the wall on iNtuitive Thinking.  And you might think that being a P who enjoys spontaneity is a life sentence to being disorganized...but it's not true!  At least not in my case.

For me it was actually a driver.  I need to be organized so I can really enjoy being spontaneous! I HATE wasting time looking for stuff when I could be helping someone, reading, learning something new, or writing in my blog!  So that's always driven me to explore better and better ways to organize!

Being a creative personality just means we have to apply all that creativity to finding ways to make organizing easy! 

The article provides an insightful overview of personality types (which I sometimes use to help people figure out their organizing style) and discusses the similarities of certain types with ADD...very interesting reading.  Enjoy!

Everyone thinks they have ADD. I think it's personality.

I don't think everyone thinks they have ADD - I don't think I do! Of course, I am ESTJ, which is the exact opposite of the classic ADD type, INFP (my DH!)
