Do you have a Type 'A' Personality?

Type 'A' personality is a set of characteristics that includes being impatient, excessively time-conscious, insecure about one's status, highly competitive, hostile and agressive, and incapable of relaxation. you can call them as "stress junkies". Type 'B' personality is just the opposite. They are patient, relaxed and easy-going. I think that I have a type 'B' personality.I rather feel my spouse to fall under the type'A' category. What type of personality do you think you have? Do you think its good or otherwise?

im a type B personality. i like it. i think i would prefer this over the other. hehehe... it has some good points but it also has some bad points. it actually depends on how the person uses ( not really the exact word that i am looking for) it.

even i prefer this over the other. but what i think is that in today's fast paced world where there is cut-throat competition and a desire to grow faster in life, type 'A' personality fits well...even though such behaviour can be physically and emotionally draining in the long-term.

I think sometimes I am far too easy going and placid and it gets used against me, some say it's a lovely quality to possess. I am definiately Type B in the extreme, I am very patient, but some people like my housemate I am not. It depends on the people and environment. I love to be relaxed and in peace but only happens when I'm on my own. Life's too short to be a stress junkie and I've never been highly competitive, which could be seen as a fault by some.

I was a type A personality until I got sick. I still have type A traits but I am still of work trying to get better so I don't have a complete breakdown.

I seem to have a bit of both. I am highly competitive and have a hard time relaxing. But I am quite easy going at the same time. I dont tend to be hostile, but I can be impatient from time to time with certain people, while with others I have all the patience in the world. I do tend to be a tad insecure about my status, but that is something I am working on. I really cant pinpoint which type I would fall under.
