Analysis:
0-8: You don't really care much about time and prefer to go about in your own sweet pace. It may be wonderful leading a carefree life, but you do need to think about people around you. You might be creating problems for them. It's best you keep track of time, otherwise you'll land yourself in trouble.
  
9-16: You do organize your time carefully. If you are ever late, you'll have a good reason for it. You value time and know how to get along even at times when things don't go according to plan.
  
17-24: You are a very punctual person. You don't like being late and don't want others to delay you, which might be stressful for you and your friends. To you time is very important. That, in fact, is great but do loosen a bit; don't let the watch rule your life completely.
