The Exact meaning is
Impulsiveness
Impulsiveness is a characteristic of childhood. Young children will grab toys and will immediately react to a situation. But as adults, we are supposed to develop a maturity and an ability to control their impulses. One of the key symptoms of ADHD is impulsiveness, even as adults. Self-control can be difficult to achieve but the lack of it is one of the most common problems adults with ADHD complain of.

Impulsiveness means acting on an impulse without reasoning, Taking rapid decisions without pondering the pros and cons. Blurting out a word without understanding the situation. Making a sudden move on false assumption. The best example is the consumerism in some people who just purchase the things without its need.
