Which type is most likely to...

[huiheiwufhawriuhg]

push off important responsibilities? Until the responsibilities are too much to the point one can't handle the amount of stress related to them so decide to deal with them, but the person again struggles with time management and organization of the duties and therefor is often late and his work is half done or often does a slacker job? The person is aware of his weakness but the awareness is only a stressor and the person himself is unable to correct such things?

[Beautiful sky]

SEE because managing responsibility is an immediate task of prioritizing based on time management therefore the person seeks Ni with Te...time ma aged by action of efficiency

As far as I know the Ne percieving types seem often to have this behaviour where they'll procrastinate until it becomes urgent and then explode into a very short burst of productivity. I think ILE's usually get things done in time then, IEE's probably not but they'll get away with their charm. The stress part sounds like Te seeking but could also indicate polr (would depend on how much of a stressor it is. Seeking would more look for guidance and be relaxed if someone else provides it. Polr would throw stuff in the face of anyone who provides it.)

I proclaim your description to be of an IEE, mostly because I self type that and I do that ALL THE TIME ;-)

Maritsa's SEE is not totally crazy, but usually SEE are grounded well enough to not let it get to the point where it ALL BOILS OVER, that is, they are much better at self mobiliation than the Ne ego's and so even though they have little insight in time, they still at least self start early enough to get it done.

In general many percieving types will have some of these issues I think, even Ni ego's who know WHEN to start might not necessarily know HOW to start and so procrastinate still (fully knowing it's all going to shits).

[anndelise]

I think it would depend on why they are procrastinating. As well as what types of things they typically putting off.

Are they lacking interest in the responsibility?
Was it thrust upon them rather than being of their own choosing to take it on?
How attached is their identity to the responsibility?
Do they lack general discipline?
Were they doing things they considered more important? What about more interesting to them?
Did they know how to do what needed to be done? Do they feel they have the knowledge and skill?
Are they under the age of 24?

From the description it could be weak Te, weak Se, and/or weak Ni.
Enneagram wise it could mean a super low score on e8 and/or e3.

push off important responsibilities?

Any type at weak functions. More for nonvalued weak functions.

Until the responsibilities are too much to the point one can't handle the amount of stress related to them so decide to deal with them

P types may be passive for longer, then activate for short period of time to solve.

I'm doing some personal research to find new ideas regarding self-motivation but thought OP might find this interesting/useful..

Intrinsic motivations has 3 needs

* competence - feeling one is able to do the task and can succeed at it.
* relatedness - feeling that there is value in the task (to self and/or to valued others; how the task relates to the whole)
* autonomy - being in control of our own lives, making choices of what we do, when we do it, and how we do it.

Extrinsic motivations has been shown to weaken or break intrinsic motivations, and reduce the desire and willingness to do the task. However, in order of most demotivating to more motivating...

* external motivation sustains behavior by contingent reward/punishment from our environment (eg do task because paid to do it)
* introjected motivation sustains behavior by the desire to avoid internally imposed guilt/recrimination (eg do task to earn money to sustain family)
* identified motivation sustains behavior by the desire to express important self identifications (eg do task because it is 'what I want to do')
* integrated regulation sustains behavior by assimulating rules/regulations into one's beliefs/models.

let's say the person generally struggles with discipline and often procrastinates. The person needs a lot of external motivation to move and becomes restless when is forced to deal with too much datas, papers, schedules, timelines or is in a position of an authority because is generallly unable to organize his enviroment. Let's also say that the person is generally lazy and find it hard to act unless he is moved by a strong idea or ideal but as soon as there are unpleasant or repetetive elements in the work the person looses interest.

Let's also say that the person is generally lazy and find it hard to act unless he is moved by a strong idea or ideal but as soon as there are unpleasant or repetetive elements in the work the person looses interest.

If they struggle with discipline and procrastination, then they are feeling compelled to do something by some outside force rather than by their own choice. Or they might be feeling incompetent in the tasks they are feeling compelled to do.

If all there is is external motivators being applied, then that actually decreases the motivation to do the task (even when external motivators are applied to an enjoyable/desirable task, the EM actually wind up demotivating the person from doing it).

In this case you list data, papers, schedules, timelines, organization (of time and space), being in a position of authority (held responsible). So basically, this person prefers to deal with generalities rather than details/specifics. So, not STj.

I'm usually hesitant to describe someone else as lazy as that usually ignores the kinds of things that they DO do in favor of focusing on things someone else wants them to do. For example, I call myself lazy. I don't do all the things I 'should' do. But I do do a lot of things I 'want' to do or enjoy doing, or am interested/curious about, etc. My SO doesn't think I'm lazy because I'm always mentally active in something, if not initiating some new idea.

There is also a difference between maintaining energy levels vs cycling between high energy output and recovery periods. The former will accuse the latter of being lazy during recovery periods and demand a consistent high energy output. However, stereotypically mbti... consistently maintained energy refers to j types while the cyclical energy refers to p types.

The problem here, Fay, is that you're describing behavior that doesn't correlate very well to types of information (socionics). You are describing behaviors without much information-processing related context/content, and which can be more easily attributed to other aspects of personality rather than socionics.

[Phantom]

I do this all the time.

I keep transferring responsibilities to my immediate future self and at the last hour, I give myself the finger for being an asshole. I fucking dumped everything on myself.

[strangeling]

Sounds genuinely depressed or despondent.

Probably types with weak or unvalued Se
Se is what mobilizes you to take decisive action and accomplish things on time (supported by Ni)
A person with weak, unvalued Se will delay until things pile up, and they're forced by circumstances to do something
Very strong Se which isn't balanced by strong Ni can also lead to procrastination, for fear of a bad outcome. Or alternatively, to impatience, hasty decisions which waste time and energy. eg. SEEs, SLIs

I don't find procrastination to be true for my self. In fact having a good propensity for time I often schedule work in such a way as to ensure that it's not done in a rush but within a time frame that it's required to do

What you're describing sounds potentially abnormal and not about typology.

I have never had issues with responsibility and meeting deadlines.
99% of the time, I make the deadline and accomplish what I need to and I am Se PoLR.
I do procrastinate a bit and sometimes need more motivation but if I say I will do something and there is an external deadline to meet, it will get done.

Perhaps it's because I'm a rational type as well as having demonstrative Ni.

Procrastination is about anxiety and all types can do it in certain areas of life.

How?

[Skepsis]

Irrationals/perceivers

[ConcreteButterfly]

@Maritsa @chips and underwear

hm maybe I am wrong then, perhaps irresponsibility is less about weak Se and more about weak Ni. Without being able to foresee the likely consequences of not acting (Ni) a person may procrastinate, waste time, or conversely act too quickly. And yes, being of rational temperament probably has much to do with it too, irrationals are much more likely to change things on a whim.

[Reficulris]

This helps understand procrastination in a non socionics context and is very funny for those who suffer from it. Not helping you finding what type "this person" is, but still might be worth the read.

[Myst]

The person needs a lot of external motivation to move

What sort of external motivation? Does the person never ever move otherwise or do they actually do things when motivated by their own ideas/ideals/whatever you were referring to?

[Muddy]

I score super low on enneagram 8 and, surprise surprise, I have problems with responsibility. The irony is 8s/Se doms also seem to have the most problems with responsibility, but in a different way. With low scoring 8s/Se polrs its a refusal to put their comfort at risk, while with 8/Se doms its more of matter of refusing to do things simply out of responsibility when there is no personal gain left for them.

Usually Ne ego types motivate others

[Beautiful sky]

Fay my cousin has MS and she's ESE she procrastinated a lot out of lack of energy pre onset of the conditions so part of it is not type related

[Reficulris]

Usually Ne ego types motivate others

Ne eogs motivate people to do stuff thats offering potential. No motivating people to do the grind of life or other stuff that OP is talking about. Its a completely different type of motivation!

(more "you can do whatever you want and be a greater person" less "get your shit together and pay those fucking bills and take the trash out")

[Aylen]

Ne ego

Alternatively Ni ego

I don't really procrastinate. I just do what I want to do and I will get around to "it "when the timing feels right. Doing what you prefer to be doing may appear to be procrastinating to others.

XXXp - p types are always in need of more information. You're more than welcome to Google "j vs p" on Socionics.com

[FDG]

I think a whole lot of people procrastinate on tasks that they don´t know how to do.

I haven´t seen many procrastinators in "basic" jobs where each task can be accomplished quickly and easily.

[Beautiful sky]

I generally accept responsibility easily and arrange and do things . I don't have a tendency to procrastination.

[summerprincess]

I procrastinate in everything including basic jobs and sometimes I would rather do work others may consider difficult if it's something that realllly interests me! I have really low Se and low Te I think those may be reasons why and also most likely some undiagnosed inattentive ADHD. I get overwhelmed extremely easily and am constantly losing or forgetting things.

[tejing]

This could be any type, really, but whatever their type, it sounds like they're not getting enough of their super-id functions. When this goes on for a while one can develop a very low stress tolerance, and low psychological energy.

[marooned]

this is a break down of functioning. what caused the person to break down?

I am pretty good at delegating responsibility in a way that others do not find offensive, except to other IEIs. Funny how an SLE can ask them to do the same thing I just did but they will do it right then. If I ask them to do something they will say, "I will when I am ready."

I don't procrastinate telling others what needs to be done and when. I work well under pressure. It fuels me to get things done. Give me a deadline and I will find a way to meet it otherwise I will get to it when I am ready. I have a good sense of how long something takes so I can get a bit snippy if someone keeps reminding me. I tell them to remind me once then leave me a post it note where I will see it. Relentless reminding is annoying since I already know.

Why do you think I need the motivating superpower of Ne ego? What evidence do you have for that?

It's funny you say that because most people on this forum see me as an Ne ego type, not the other way around.
