Conscientious Apathy

The easy-going way of life. Blissful avoidance and ignornance of common organizations, movements, responsibilities, or anything that doesn't affect the follower. Someone who is a follower of Conscientious Apathy often won't care about a breakthrough in cancer research anymore than they would if they accidentally forgot to comb their hair that morning.

Though frowned upon by the 'go-getting' and influential type, a follower of Conscientious Apathy will often shrug off any criticism and live by the Conscientious Apathy code: "It's great that you care, I'm glad that you care, but, I don't care."

Someone who is a follower of Conscientious Apathy does not do it to be rude or harmful to others, the way of life is chosen to relieve stress and to find a more peaceful and pacifistic way to survive in times like these. It's controversy is ignored because no one who is a follower cares what others think about their way of life.
"I think it's great that the Lung Cancer Association is around, but I really could care less about it."

"I'd love to donate money to the school trip, but I'm not going so I really don't give a crap."

"Is my shirt really that ugly? Well, I'm sure I'll survive."

"Sorry, My Conscientious Apathy is leading me away from that 'Teamwork' conference"

conscientiousness

Conscientiousness is not just about getting to the church on time, in a freshly-ironed outfit. It is a fundamental personality trait that influences whether people set and keep long-range goals, deliberate over choices or behave impulsively, and take seriously obligations to others. Conscientiousness is a key ingredient in success, but the off-the-charts conscientious may court perfectionism by setting their sites too high.

Conscientiousness distinguishes organized and hard working people from people who are more impulsive and spontaneous. Conscientiousness is a top predictor of job performance and success, but people low in Conscientiousness are good to have around when the plan does not work out and some quick thinking is necessary. You’d want to market to people by Conscientiousness differently: those high in Conscientiousness would take longer to make a purchasing decision and would want to compare with other products, those low in Conscientiousness would be more likely to make a snap decision.
