I hate tests. I've always been a paper writer. I can take tests and have always done quite well, but I think they're almost always stupid. Papers allow you to demonstrate what you know about a topic in your own way (shaped by how you can best spit back the professor's words when need be).

Tests, baby. It made no difference grade-wise, but I hated having a paper assignment hanging over my head all semester and then spending one long, horrible night (or in the case of my note, one long, horrible three-day period) lamenting my tendency to procrastinate.
Blank blue books and a very compressed time frame energize and focus my mind, but a blank computer screen and a fair amount of time to write something that must be polished combine to fill me with dread and apathy. It's classic perfectionism.
