I've noticed both types in the time I've been on this board and would like to see if there is a consensus type.
Bomber ETA: I have always been an solid "A" type but I'm starting to mello. I still have tourette's syndrom behind the wheel though ETA: Type "A" personality:

I know, I wanted to keep it simple and allowed people to elaborate on non "A" non "B" types. Bomber |

I don't know how to vote. That would require self analysis and I don't do that.
|
|
Hell yea I do |
|
|
Type B here, I can go with just about any flow, and It doesn't alway have to be my way.
I can be an in your face kind of person, but I have found thats not usually very effective, (since I have a very bad temper). Better to stand off and get someone else to do the dirty work. Lebrew |
|
So it's safe to say you avoid putting your foot in your mouth. Upon further inspection I would too . Bomber |
|
|
Your a type A then. |
|
|
I answered yes to every question you posted.
Guess type A here. Maybe I need Xanax? |
|
I'm a special type of 'A'...type 'U' for ulcers.
I'm so type 'A' that when I am raging pissed, my heart rate does not rise. |
|
Type A living with my wife and two daughters who happen to all be B type.
|
|
This is why psychology fails. You can't just go textbook on every case, because nobody is the same. How many of you agree with some type A traits yet, find you're mostly mellow?
I'm somewhere in the middle. Time patient until such time becomes unreasonable. Non-hostile until someone pushes too far. Above all I try to be understanding but everyone has bad days. You are not A or B, you are yourself. For those who honestly say they have an all-pervasive, ever-present hostility just remember, you get what you give. |
|
That's me. |
|
|
B-. You'd have to nuke my dog from orbit to get me worked up.
CO |
|
B in real life. When on line, you're all my bitches.
I'm actually a pretty mellow dude. It takes a monumental amount of bullshit to get me worked up. My personality could probably be best summarized by saying "Eh, fuck it. I've got shit to do". |
|
Multi level
Normal = level B but add an X to the game and B + X = A X = unknown asshat behavior. I am rubber you are glue what you give me I will stick on you. |
|
I've done many of these tests before and I always score on the boarderline mark.
Some days I'm type A, some days I'm type B. A healthy balance I think |

Welcome to the club Bomber |
|
|
it is relative...as I grow older I find that I am at peace in the long checkout line, if the checkout clerk or the customer is efficient in their activities....some idiot stammering over a lotttery ticket and holding up the line for a dollar might get a comment.
I am B personality but my firearms are always on A I am B but my spending is usually on A I don't eat much anymore but chew each bite at least once... |
|
So we're running nearly 2:1 hot heads over

There are billions of very different people on this planet, and billions more that have lived. To group everybody into two types of personalities is a narrow view to put it lightly. Overall, I'm a B type, but A in some places.
|
|
I think Im A but I dont have road rage, and Im really kind of mellow.
It takes a LOT to get me upset, but when I reach that point its black-out, balls to the walls kinda mad...my girlfreind says either to one extreme or the other..never in the middle |
|
I'm usually pretty calm, but stupid drivers make me mad but people who mess with my truck, my dogs, and family make me absolutly go apeshit.
|
|
I never knew I was a Type A personality. That answers a lot of questions about me.
I thought I disliked Type B people for the wrong reasons, but now I see it's just natural. |
|
TYPE "A"..YES "A" IS THE ONE THAT FITS ME BEST....NOW IF YOU WILL EXCUSE ME I NEED TO GO EAT DINNER WHILE I WATCH TV AND THINK ABOUT OTHER THINGS WHILE MY WIFE TALKS TO ME.....
|
|
naturally, type B. adapted to A for the business world, though...
