TIME MANAGEMENT Personality Profile Interpretations
Attention to Task: Divergent or Convergent
The extremes of the dimension of attention to task are “divergent” and “convergent.” It is relatively easy to
spot a person whose attention to task is divergent. His or her messy desk is a definite clue. When asked
whether or not they are organized, most divergent people would say that they are organized. They might
admit to having a messy desk, but would maintain that they know exactly where everything is.
Working with a divergent person can be a challenge for those who are convergent. Divergent people
easily wander off the subject to whatever sounds interesting at the moment. This sort of subject jumping
makes convergent people very nervous. Whereas convergent people draw energy from completing projects,
divergent people draw energy from starting new ones.
