What kind of person are you ?

Three computer programmers (Peter, Brad and Nick), married, have children and go to the same church. They all dream to be promoted by their boss to a higher position in the company which they work for.

For end of year celebrations, they were assigned the same tasks (Task A, Task B and Task C) of EQUAL importance which need to be completed within one month.

Task A : organise the annual religious service in the office premises.
Task B : complete the current software program.
Task C : organise the annual corporate family gathering.

At the end of the month,

* Peter was the one who spend most of his time liasing with the priest and he contributed significantly to the success of the religious servicebut however failed to complete his software program and was almost absent in the organisation of the family gathering.
* Brad was the one who worked overtime almost everyday and completed the computer program on timebut failed to complete his software program and was almost absent in the organisation of the religious service.
* Nick was the one who put time and effort to search for a convenient restaurant, and thus was significantly involved in the organisation of the successful family gathering but failed to complete the computer program on timeand was not really involved in the organisation of the religious service.

Have you ever asked yourself why Peter, Brad and Nick prioritised their tasks differently ?

Well, I learned that some persons are RELIGIOUS oriented people, others are WORK oriented people, others MONEY oriented people while some are FAMILY oriented people. Finally, some people are PRINCIPLE oriented ones.

To which category do you belong to ?
