Do you perform worse or better under pressure?

Much much better, I barely do anything without it.


Same here :s-smilie:

I can't even face work until the point where it's literally not possible to complete it unless I start ​now.
I can take tests but only because I don't really feel stressed at exam time. My mind goes into autopilot, like my usual fears and insecurities just go to sleep for a while.

That said if I am under some real pressure I tend to perform much worse. If I'm under pressure from somebody to complete a task in a certain time-frame, like in a few minutes, I get really clumsy. If it's a mental task my mind goes blank.

In most situations I'd say better (for example, if there's a close deadline or if it's an exam) but if the pressure is due to someone watching what I'm doing, it makes me perform worse.
