Notes

1 Note that these items are ‘I plan for job security’, ‘I plan for the future’, ‘I save regularly’, ‘I plan tasks carefully’, ‘I am a careful thinker’, and ‘I concentrate easily ‘. Endorsing these statements speaks for a low impulsivity and, thus, these item responses need to be reverse coded. In Table 3 in the article by Spinella [1], the item ‘I act on impulse’ is erroneously denoted as inverted item.
