What's Your "Slacking-Off" Style at Work?

18 questions, 3 axes — a breakdown of how you unconsciously take it easy, into 8 types.

Slacking isn't a sin. Nobody can grind forever, so everyone unconsciously develops a way of taking it easy. The question isn't whether you slack, but how. Given the same bit of downtime, some people rest out in the open while others hide it behind a busy face. Some cut their effort cleanly; others build a system so they can coast smartly. These 18 questions measure your habit of easing off at work along three axes — out in the open vs on the sly, brute-force vs systematized, solo vs roping others in — and sort you into one of 8 slacking types. Don't look for the 'right' answer; just pick the one you tend to do.
