Personality Types

"First of all, Friedman and Rosenman came up with two types of personalities based on observable behaviors.

The first type of personality was called Type A and it was characterized by:
1. an intense drive to achieve one’s goals
2. over-competitiveness in all areas of lives
3. constantly seeking for recognition and improvement
4. involvement in many activities at once which had deadlines to meet
5. tendency to rush things
6. astonishing physical and mental alertness.

After that, the researchers came up with Type B and its characteristics were the opposites of Type A personality. Therefore, Type B people are characterized by a lack of: drive, ambition, sense of urgency, competitiveness and involvements which have deadlines."
