What's My Time Style
Identify your time management style
Part of HRDQ's best-selling Style Suite, What's My Time Style is a quick and easy-to-use time management style assessment for identifying personal time management style. Based on the personality theories of Marston and Jung, this self-assessment measures an individual's preference for one or more of four basic behavioral styles: direct, spirited, considerate, and systematic. With this knowledge, individuals learn how to make their style work to their advantage and better understand how to work with others who manage their time differently.
Available in online and print format
- Online version available through the HRDQ Assessment Center.
- Students may self-enroll in the online version.
- Self-enrollment is also a good option for trainers and consultants who wish to evaluate content for their organization or client.

How It Works
What’s My Time Style reflects the entire range of situations in which effective time management behavior can be observed. This program starts with a 21-item self-assessment that takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. Individuals choose the statement ending that most closely reflects the way they manage time. Scoring the assessment reveals "My Time Style Profile" and a dominant preference for one or more four personal styles:
- Direct
- Spirited
- Considerate
- Systematic
Uses & Applications
What's My Time Style is appropriate for anyone to use for both personal and management development. The assessment can be used as a standalone training assessment, or it can be incorporated into more comprehensive programs.
Learning Outcomes
What’s My Time Style is not designed to promote one “correct” time management style. Instead, the goal is to help participants:
- Identify personal time management style
- Learn how to capitalize on time management strengths
- Understand how to avoid potential time management trouble spots
- Improve interactions with others who have different time management styles
