inquieto/descentrado, ya sea durante el trabajo individual o grupal
Explanation:
Esta es mi opción para TODA la frase.

Se muestra inquieto y descentrado, ya sea durante el trabajo individual o grupal.

De : http://www.geocities.com/diccionariodehuck/huck1.html
"Fidget viene a ser "estar inquieto, nerviosamente activo", Fidgety es ese estado de inquietud en el que se hacen todo tipo de movimientos nerviosos para reprimir un deseo intenso, como el de irse, por ejemplo. (he fidgeted with his pencil)"

"Out of center" es "descentrado". Del DRAE:

descentrado, da.

(Del part. de descentrar).


1. adj. Dicho de un instrumento o de una pieza de una máquina: Que tiene el centro fuera de la posición que debe ocupar.

2. adj. Que se encuentra fuera del estado o lugar de su natural asiento y acomodo.

3. adj. Desorientado, disperso, desequilibrado.


Espero que te sirva. Suerte :D
