SCORE
Monochronic 32
Polychronic 30

Cultural differences in orientations toward time can be broken into two ends of a continuum:

Monochronic time - approaches time in a linear fashion with things dealt with one at a time in an orderly fashion. This approach pervades North America and northern European cultures. Time is viewed as a precious commodity, not to be wasted, and values punctuality and promptness.

Polychronic time - involves doing a number of things at once, intertwining them together in a dynamic process that considers changing circumstances. Commitments are viewed as objectives, but capable of adjustment when necessary.
