Organization as a skill is composed of many elements, and it appears as though she possesses most, if not all of them. Professionally, organizational abilities are crucial ingredients for success and fulfilling life. Organized people tend to be high achievers, responsible, and dependable. They find it easier than most to take on multiple tasks and respond appropriately to unexpected situations. On the flip side, those who are disorganized have a very difficult time getting things done. They frequently get overwhelmed when faced with complicated and important tasks and are often not the most dependable people.

Mary's responses indicate that her cognitive organization skills are fairly good. She is generally able to organize her thoughts verbally and in writing, and in turn, communicate them clearly to others. She likely also has little difficulty dealing with complex subject matter, or recalling information. People with really strong cognitive organization have the ability to reorganize and communicate their thoughts in alternative manners so that listeners can grasp the points more easily. In addition, they know how to break down difficult information into manageable parts they can readily understand.

Strategies (score 90)

Mary's score shows that she uses numerous strategies to stay organized. People who score similarly are extremely proficient at making plans and decisions to reach particular goals. Excellent strategists tend to do the following things: they make “to do” lists, break down complex tasks into manageable parts, create backup plans, and set reminders for themselves. The ability to strategize is a skill that can be applied to nearly every aspect of life, and becoming an adept strategist can save Mary countless hours and headaches. When problems arise - which they inevitably do - the ability to formulate a way to reach her goals and create plans is an invaluable skill.

Neatness (score 97)

For many people, the tendency to be neat and tidy does not come naturally. They can make a resolution to be neat, but inevitably fall back into a pattern of disorder and mess. Fortunately, it seems that Mary doesn't have the messy tendencies that many others do – or at least does a tremendous job of staving off this inclination. Her high score indicates that she is an extremely neat individual and has no problem maintaining an orderly environment.

Time Management (score 78)

According to Mary's results, her time management skills are quite good. She rarely has to rush to get things done at the last minute and generally manages to find the time to do all that she needs to.

Self-motivation (score 85)

According to Mary's results, she seems to be extremely capable of motivating herself. Self-motivation means relying on herself, and no one else, for the incentive and direction to get things done. It tends to require a great deal of mental effort, which is why people fail at motivating themselves so often - simply put, it's not easy. This skill is vital to becoming and staying organized. People who are self-motivators are generally willing to see tasks through no matter what the circumstances. They often utilize techniques such as rewarding themselves for reaching benchmarks or goals, and visualizing the end result of completing a task successfully in order to propel them into action. Overall, people with a high degree of self-motivation rarely rely on others to provide incentive for completing tasks because they can convince themselves to get started and follow through.
