Being late: a sign of good mental health?

according to a recent US study, your  repeated delays may be a guarantee of success ...

Two groups have been formed: one composed of people of type A, rather impatient, organized and competitive, and the one composed of type B people, dreamy, disorganized and creative!

Among the experiments participants were given, one of them was to evaluate the time spent after one minute. Of course, the first sample turned out to be much more accurate in its estimates.
