There was a lot of subjectivity related to questions like that in our experience. If dd's 3rd grade teachers or school had ranked her social interactions, attitude, etc, she would have come out much worse than she did when her 4th grade teacher did the ranking. He liked her a lot more.

In re to your question, though, yes dd was a procrastinator and I can't say that I thought that she was doing her best work or displaying high motivation or great attitude. However, her teacher who filled it out was comparing her to avg students and still felt that she did high quality work and had a good attitude b/c she wasn't surly and turned everything in on time even if she did it all at the last minute. She was also getting A+s so he saw the work as high quality & didn't think that she was procrastinating or displaying a poor attitude as a result.
