Abstract
Procrastination is a common practice that is used to delay a task. However, the reasons for procrastination can differ from person to person. Procrastination can be used as a tactic or work strategy to help with work completion, despite others using procrastination to avoid work. With this being said, we can see how procrastination can be beneficial to the self for various reasons. Whether using it as a tactic or defense mechanism. Essentially both are putting one's own needs over others. Could this be translated into traces of narcissistic tendencies? In this study we aim to find out if procrastination and its various types can predict narcissistic qualities and traits, and see if there is a strong correlation between them. We aim to provide more research on why procrastinators do what they do and to provide insight on what the intention/motive of this practice may be. Perhaps, a person's view of their own self-importance will be able to predict the delay.
