Monochronic perception implies treating time like a thing so it can be lost, missed, won, used, overtaken etc.. In this perception time is a direct line, every fragment of which is associated with one thing to do. The other type, polychromic, perceives time as an intersection of many lines with many things done and much communication realized simultaneously.

In high-context cultures communication network formed by people’s relationships is stronger that a lot doesn’t need to be said and thus is left out. In high-context a lot is expressed through non-verbal communication and different effects such as emotions matter much more.

A famous American anthropologist E. Hall was one of the founders of cross-cultural communication as a scientific direction. One of the key points of his theory was dividing all cultures and thus all people into monochromic and polychromic types according to their perception of time. Monochronic perception implies treating time like a thing so it can be lost, missed, won, used, overtaken etc.. In this perception time is a direct line, every fragment of which is associated with one thing to do. The other type, polychromic, perceives time as an intersection of many lines with many things done and much communication realized simultaneously.
What type of time perception led to inventing time management as a study?
• polychronic
• both
• impossible to judge
• monochronic
