Procrastination is a common behaviour among students that can impair academic performance and well-being. The Pure Procrastination Scale (PPS) is a validated 12-item self-report measure of procrastination derived from existing scales. In this study, 40 undergraduates (age 18–25) completed the PPS and were categorized into mild (score 12–35), moderate (36–59), or severe (60–84) procrastination groups based on their total scores. The PPS demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = 0.876). Factor analysis suggested a multidimensional structure, consistent with prior findings of distinct procrastination facets. Most participants were classified in the moderate category (n=24), with fewer in mild (n=10) or severe (n=6) categories. These results support the PPS’s reliability in student samples and the utility of severity classification for identifying levels of procrastination.
