INDOLENT

If you registered high in INDOLENT, you don’t like to use your precious time working, thinking, creating, or – truth be told – much of anything at all. While others scurry around trying to contribute meaningfully to the world, you know deep down that one’s energy is best spent by resisting the temptation to act. At work, you excel at supporting others’ productivity by letting them do all the work; at home your best moments are on the couch.

Indolent sounds like this:

Clive F., mail room clerk: “I’ve helped make a lot of CEOs in my time. If it hadn’t been for me, they never could have developed the work habits necessary to get all that stuff done that the boss said I was supposed to be doing. That really helped them rise to the top.”
