Probably ADHD, often makes you unproductive and slow when you aren't in high stakes situations. There is no interview to weed out such people since the problem isn't in their understanding, intelligence or skills.

How is laziness differentiated from ADHD?

Too be clear, I’m not accusing you of being lazy, but your description seems to apply to me and I consider myself lazy.

I did consider myself lazy as well and that is what I told people, but then I got pills for ADHD and suddenly I wasn't lazy any longer. So yeah, maybe you aren't lazy and you just have ADHD, or maybe you are lazy, I don't know, but it is worth checking it out. It changed my life, if being lazy is a huge problem in your life I'd suggest to look into ADHD more and maybe try get a diagnosis if it seems to fit.

If you're lazy, you don't care about it. If you care a lot but somehow still need external motivation to get stuff done, it could be ADHD.
