Although most employees would love to work from home, not all have the personality needed to succeed in off-site work. Here are questions that will help you separate the disciplined, independent type from employees who want and need more direct supervision.

- Are you a self-starter?

- Do you feel comfortable setting your own schedule?

- Can you prioritize tasks?

- Can you work toward distant deadlines without daily supervision?

- Do you enjoy solving problems by yourself?

- Do you need a lot of social interaction?

- Do you tend to procrastinate?
