Type A Personality Type A personality is a complex emotional act that can be observed in everyone who is aggressively involved in an ongoing and unremitting struggle to achieve more than the present. (Kreitner and Kinicki, 2011). Meyer Friedmen and Rosenman provide an explanation of the behavioral pattern of type A which is a complex emotional act that can be observed in everyone who is aggressively involved in an ongoing and unremitting struggle to achieve that more and more in a shorter and shorter time, and if necessary against the opposite endeavor of others. Individuals with type A type of personality are people who constantly want to achieve something higher (high and many), with time that is always always lacking. The traits of type A type include the idea of how humans can pursue time, how humans are competing constantly, how human behavior almost always leads to hostility, a great desire to spend leisure time and impatience to complete tasks …show more content…
Type B Personality Type B personalty is represent calmness and have an easy-going attitude. They are fun-loving and are relatively less competitive. They are also better at relaxing without feeling guilty and they work without getting anxious or agitated. Type B's are the opposite of type A's. They are laid back and not easily stressed. While type B can be achievers too, still they won't be as competitive as Type A's. Type B's can delay work and do it in the last moment, some of them can turn into procrastinators which is something that a type A can never do. The following are the characteristics of the type B personality. There are also three distinct characteristics of Type B personalities: The first characteristic is their non-competitive and relaxed nature. Type B personalities are not highly competitive and may focus less on seeing things as winning or losing. When Type B personalities do happen to lose at something, such as a game, they still find enjoyment and satisfaction in participating in it. Type B personalities also find satisfaction in their
Have you ever wondered why you react to situations in the manner to you do? Whether you are calm and collect, or rigid and boisterous, the way you react to life is linked to your personality. Many different models exist to determine your personality type using answers from a series of questions or selecting between two opposing options. The most popularly used assessment is the Myers-Briggs Indicator Type test, which is based off the foundation of C. G. Jung’s work on personality types. The typology in the Myers-Briggs Indicator Type test yields results that determine if the person is introverted (I) or extraverted (E), sensing (S) or intuitive (N), thinking (T) or feeling (F), and judging (J) or perceiving (P). Each of these types corresponds
If you look at all the successful sportspeople they want to achieve and push themselves to be that fractional part better like the Type A person. Where sports people use their failures to motivate them which means it must bother them on a personal level for them to want to push them to do better and succeed. Now if you put a Type B person In that scenario they wouldn’t be fazed by the failure they endured meaning they most likely be less motivated to improve and develop as performer. But while this makes sense from certain sports perspectives other sports would benefit from having a Type B person in their team. For example, a central attacking midfielder in a game of football; these people have certain traits which would allow them to excel in their position. The main traits that would benefit this position are: creative, imaginative and patient. These traits would allow them to ‘find’ or ‘create’ the killer pass to lead to a
Type Talk is a primer on personality preference typing centered on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (“MBTI”). The MBTI is a widely-used “test” that helps a person begin to understand why people perceive situations differently, communicate different from others, and opt for different activities.
An individual’s behaviour may differ depending on the circumstances they are in though there are definite signs of repetitive behaviour when placed in majority of the situations. These characteristics are known as traits which make up the personality of each person (Engler, 2014). Personality theorists do not have a mutual agreement on how the term personality should be used. They each have their definition of personality thus providing a large number of diverse personality theories (Engler, 2014). For example, Eysenck (1970) defined personality as a relatively permanent and consistent composition of an individual’s disposition that in turn establishes how the person adjusts to their
Each person is different and unique. As many know all too well, some personality types just do not mix well and cause chaos in the workplace and on a personal level. What if there was a way to help mend these relationships and make things work more smoothly in the workplace? There is no doubt that the productivity in our businesses, schools, and homes would increase exponentially. Personality tests provide us with the insight needed to know exactly what type of person we are and how we can mesh with others of different types to make relations more smoothly. Using the four-letter type, individuals can get a feel for their personality and how others view them. Researching the types of others can provide insight on how to communicate. In the following
Do you believe that type A/B personality traits influence one’s approach to leadership? I believe my personality influences how I approach leadership, because regardless of what learned or encouraged to better leader, you still polish your own leadership style for what you do every life.
The first personality type from DISC assessment is a person who possesses a dominant personality. A person who has a dominant personality can be described as being direct, taking action, competitive and productive. This D type leader may need to work on displaying sensitivity or lacking patience. This leader is confident. When handling a conflict this type of leader must realize that others are not as direct and confrontation may be intimidating. For example a leader with a D type personality may provide blunt news to their staff. This person may inform the staff of poor work in a direct way. This approach may yield an undesirable reaction from the workers. When in a personal conflict the leader would tend to be combative. The D type personality would need to realize that they need to work on...
The purpose of this analysis is to identify my personality type, temperament, and how it relates to my behavior and success in the workplace. The first phase of this paper is to identify my four letter personality type using the Jung Typology Test which is based on Carl Jung’s and Isabel Briggs Myers personality type theory (Jung Typology Test, 2016). I will also discuss where I fall within Keirsey’s Temperaments; this personality typing combines two of the four sets of preferences in to four distinct temperament categories (Personalitypage, 2015a). Keirsey identified four basic temperaments known as Guardian, Rational, Artisan, and Idealist (Keirsey, n.d.). I will explain each of the four letters of my type and provide specific examples of how they relate to me in both a professional and personal level. In the final phase I will discuss my personality strengths and weaknesses and how I can use the assessment for overall personal growth.
A person’s personality has been the subject of psychological scrutiny for many years. Psychologists have drawn up several theories in an attempt to accurately predict and determine one’s personality. Foremost amongst these, is the “Big Five Trait Theory” which stemmed from Raymond B. Cattell’s theory.

There are several theories of personality type classifications based on different basis. The oldest was developed by the Greek Ancients (Hippocrates 400 BC and Galen 140 AC) that classified four types of people moods based on the excess of one of four bodily fluids (Neill, 2005). Another theory, which was developed by William Sheldon (1940), classifies people based on their physical shapes (Neill, 2005). The well-known theory by Carl Jung (1940), Katharine C. Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers (1980) is probably the most used personality type classification (BSM, 2006). This theory is based on individual preferences on four pairs of opposite basic psychological human functions. The first pair is how we prefer to get motivated, internally (Introverted) or externally (Extroverted) (BSM, 2006). The second...
In the Narrow band approach, there is two different types of personalities. Type A personality is where the person’s qualities are impatient, intolerance, high levels of stress, they also enjoy the achievement of goals and love achieving more difficult goals, they find it hard stop after they have achieved the goals so want to keep going, they are very competitive, they hate failure and they are generally educated and fit. However, type B’s personality is where they are more relaxed, tolerant, have lower levels of stress, they work steadily, enjoying achievements but not becoming stressed when they are not achieved, they don’t mind losing when they are faced in a competition, they are creative and they are reflective. A sporting example of this is that a footballer that likes competition will try harder than a person who is more relaxed and just enjoys playing the game. In my opinion, I don’t agree with this theory because it is too simple and athletes don’t fall into just one category because they can have characteristics in the other type as
