How would you categorize yourself if you had to pick one?

Type A behavior: competitive, ambitious, impatient, aggressive, fast talking.

"The theory describes a Type A individual as ambitious, rigidly organized, highly status conscious, can be sensitive, care for other people, are truthful, impatient, always try to help others, take on more than they can handle, want other people to get to the point, proactive, and obsessed with time management. People with Type A personalities are often high-achieving "workaholics" who multi-task, push themselves with deadlines, and hate both delays and ambivalence."

Type B behavior: relaxed, non-competitive.

"The theory describes Type B individuals as a contrast to those with Type A personalities. People with Type B personality by definition generally live at a lower stress level and typically work steadily, enjoying achievement but not becoming stressed when they are not achieved. When faced with competition, they do not mind losing and either enjoy the game or back down. They may be creative and enjoy exploring ideas and concepts. They are often reflective, thinking about the outer and inner worlds."

Type C behavior: โ€”nice,?? hard working but become apathetic when faced with stress

"A temperament seen in those who appear quiet and introspective but are actually frustrated and swallow anger, and who may have an increased risk of cancer; type Cs are the polar opposite of type As; they are nonemotional, non-assertive, and appease others to the point of self-effacement and self-sacrifice"

i'm gonna say type a all around for myself. it's to the point that i'm realizing i may have stress related "illnesses" o.O

Type A. I talk super fast, have no patience & I compete but with myself. When I have a lot of work I stress out, dont wanna be disturbed cause I get irritable & my goal is to finish it as fast as possible, then sigh with relief.
