type A and type B which are you?

when discussing personalities in class we went indepth about complex forms of behavior, but there is a gruping of personalities that splits everyone into two groups. Type A and Type B, A's are a group of people who are generally time driven and agressive while B's are more passive and relaxed. this dosen't mean your confined but it is only a means to describe general patterns of beahviors. the jenkins tes was made to assess a person of there type quicker then previous methods. Take the test ad see for yourself i'm a type B.

I got a 202... so... I guess I'm in the middle which would make me, what, both? haha. As I had mentioned in an earlier post, I'm a different person depending on my surroundings. I'm more relaxed at school, at home I'm more serious. Plus some of those questions didn't have certain answers that fit me best. I don't really think tests do anything to find out the person you really are. They're kind of pointless. And it shows especially when there are kids who know the material of the class, but just aren't good at taking tests.

I got around 140, which I suppose makes me a type B personality. I have a hard time believing that personalities can be categorized into two different areas. There is a huge gray area when it comes to personalities.

People who fall under Type A exhibit characteristics such as being impatient, excessively time-conscious, insecure about one's status, highly competitive, hostile and aggressive, and incapable of relaxation. Type A individuals are workaholics who multi-task, drive themselves with deadlines, and are unhappy about the smallest of delays.

The Type B personality, in contrast, is patient, relaxed, and easy-going. They are also more creative and imaginative, inclined to self-analyze and evasive of stressful situations, and bad at coping when found therein.


This is interesting though: There is also a Type AB or Type X mixed profile for people who cannot be clearly categorized and have a combination of both types of personality.

i am not really sure what it means to be type a or type b. i got a 177 but don't really think that this test really determines anything.
