I ended up with 2.5... I think that the number doesn't quite represent me very accurately because usually I am super diligent and determined, except I get new random interests when I'm manic that die out after a few weeks. I'd say my non-manic self would get a higher score but whatever.

I got 2.29 I suposse I'm never totally into something, it's just that I get sooo easily bored, I want to overcome all the challenges and I get excited, motivated and very energic at first but then its like my switch turns off and whatever I'm doing is no longer motivating or exciting, it gets monotone so everytime is harder to please me, I guess I haven't found a real challenge. But I can really be passionate with stuff that I like.

I scored a 3.3 (kinda average)

I don't feel the Test is accurate. If it's an obligation imposed on me, I may give up rather easily. BUT if it's a personal Goal (something I Care about) I'd rather die than give up!

@ChromeLotus Interesting! I got a 3, but I'm the opposite when it comes to getting things done haha. With obligatory goals (classes, at work, things for other people) I'll always make sure they get, but personal projects are harder for me to maintain committment to even if I like them (since I don't typically prioritize tem)

3.70, higher than 50% of the population. I think that's a good description of me. Depending on the situation, I can have more or less grit depending on how it impacts me and the people around me.

@Laura

I got 4 out of 5

You scored higher than about 70% of American adults in a recent study.

I guess I have a lot of grit!
