The Type A and Type B theory was developed by two cardiologists; who were Meyer Friedman and R.H. Rosenman. The basic idea of this theory is that everyone can be classified into three different types, the types being: Type A, Type B and Type AB. The latter being the type comprised of the previous two; so for example if you had a mixture of traits from Types A and B, you would be placed into Type AB. While Type A and Type B are the complete opposite of each other in how they think and understand things; along with their traits generally being opposite of each other.
People who fit into Type A would find themselves becoming annoyed to delays, time where they are unproductive and other inconveniences very quickly compared to the other type. Following on from this Type A people would find themselves in a constant race against time rushing to get things done and don’t like waiting this makes these types of people ‘go-getters’ or people who will not settle and want to

go and get what they want or they achieve their tasks or goals. But this type of people achieve little or no joy after completing their tasks or goals. Type A people are fuelled and pushed by ambition to do more and achieve more but consequently this leads to them trying to complete more work which they most likely can’t complete in time. But this desire to work and do better leads these people to achieve in everything they undertake; even in ventures they don’t have sufficient knowledge in. But on the other hand this type of people can lose their temper with ease and develop hostile relationships towards people which can both be open and in secret. Type A people are driven to do more and be better due to their competitive and challenging spirit they tend to have. This is reinforced by these people being risk takers that are highly efficient and tend to be more persistent towards a problem; following on this type of people tend to prefer a practical and hands on approach to problems they endure. These people tend to be most successful in career paths that have fields such as: Business, Entrepreneurship and Management. The atmospheric stresses these environments create push these people to be more successful thinking. While on the other hand we have the Type B personality which is completely opposite to Type A. Type B people are generally a lot more patient and like to put thought into things and to certain extent allowing them to play out by themselves. This makes this type of people easy-going and very much the ‘slow and steady’ type of person. Unlike Type A who will rush into problems and not put much thought into it; Type B people will like to put thoughts into their decisions before committing to them. But this thinking into their decision will often make them push their work back to last minute. Type B are the more social of the two types as they love to have both familiar people and strangers around them to socialize to which allows them to grab the attention that they seem to get wherever they are. Comfort is what is desired in work rather than success unlike the latter. These people are more thinkers than workers. They show more signs of being in touch with their creative side than Type A people. Unlike Type A people, Type B people are not fazed by their lack of achievement which would most likely bother there counterpart. Type B people can more likely to be found in occupations such as: Advertising, Event Planning and Marketing. Any occupation that suits a creative person would suit the Type B personality. In sport Type A people would most likely be more successful than Type B.
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
goal. But overall being a Type AB person would be most beneficial in sport as this would (having the correct traits from each) be a motivated by failure, creative workaholic that would most likely lead to success in sport. This is what most professional athletes and the world’s greatest athletes display signs of and allow them to become the amazing athletes that they are. An example of someone who displays these characteristics is Cristiano Ronaldo, while he displays mainly characteristics from Type A he also shows signs of traits from Type B. He hates failure and the attention being off him. This is what drives him forward allowing him to become one of the best footballers the world has seen. His work rate is unlike any other athlete on the planet. He will do whatever possible to get the attention back on him from his team; he always seeks praise. He has demonstrated multiple times how he enjoys company from both known people and strangers. I feel that the average Type B person would be less likely to get involved in sport compared to the average Type A person. The rationale for this is as follows. Someone who is comes under the Type A personality would be more motivated to do better from their failures which would allow them to develop and learn new skills and improve their sporting performance. While a Type B person wouldn’t be fazed by failure meaning if they can’t do something they are more likely to give up and not try it again. This is not to mention that Type A people prefer to learn through doing practical methods which is of course what sport is after all.
When i was playing football in my freshman and sophomore year I was not the best player by far. If anything i was probably one of the worst players on the team. I sat bench a whole lot that is for sure, but when i finally began to see how successful my teammates had been it drove me to succeed I was starting to be faster and my hands were becoming better. I was actually putting up a run for the starting position. I never once became jealous of my teammates success i just wanted to be a part of it so i drove myself to where I was a good enough player that I could become a part of it. That is why Margaret Meads view on success is flawed is that we thrive off of one another 's success we don 't see them as a threat because of
...s. These versions are known as type I, type IIA, type IIB, and the two flavors of heterotic string theory (SO(32) and E8×E8). The thinking was that out of these five candidate theories, only one was the actual correct theory of everything, and that theory was the one whose low energy limit matched the physics observed in our world today.
The example of an athlete is adapted to clarify this belief. If one wants to be a star athlete, then it is important for one to train properly and work hard before the event. Supposing that one does not prepare for the event, then the expectation sh...
The second type is the know-it-all; he is identified by his commonplace appearance, moderately developed social skills, and commanding attitude.
Failure- Acceptors are solely focused on playing the sport, because of that they are more dedicated to the demands athletics have. These student athletes will put forth more of their time and effort to that sport (Simons, Rheenen and Covington, 2014). Failure- Acceptors only have one academic motivation which is “to remain minimally academically eligible to play their sport” (Simons, Rheenen and Covington, 2014,p.444). This quote explains that student athletes only work on academics to maintain a certain GPA to remain playing. On the other hand Failure-Avoiders failure plays a much stronger factor to causing them to put less time and effort into academics and to make a greater commitment to athletics. This type of athlete works to avoid failure. These students “often have a low self-worth due to a history of academic failure” (Simons, Rheenen and Covington, 2014,p.435). That academic failure could be the reason for pushing them towards being more interested in athletics and changed what they were most motivated about. Both of these types of athletes show the action of undertaking a sport takes more from them mentally and
Type 4 is within the heart center of intelligence and perception, also known as the emotion center. The heart is based off of feelings, whether they are positive or negative. This type is focused on success and relationship. Type 4 is known as the romantic. I feel this to be very
My personal approach to counseling comes from several different theoretical frameworks. Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) has the most influence in what I would consider my personal approach. I truly believe that the way an individual feels about themselves will impact them more than anything else. When an individual feels that they are not good enough then they will continue to struggle in all aspects of their life. Thoughts affect our feelings and our behaviors; therefore, if you are able to change an individual’s negative thinking then you are able to change their feelings and behaviors. Therapists must be able to challenge an individual’s irrational beliefs about themselves and work to change these to more rational thinking. Studies have shown that individuals who are trying to lose weight will have more success if they just believe that they are capable of losing the weight. Just their positive thinking can enhance their personal diet and exercise. REBT will have the greatest impact when working with clients in my personal theory but I will also take many aspects from other theories as well.
Up until Last Tuesday, I did not know what a personality type was, and thought that the Myers-Briggs test only covered IQ. Fortunately for me, Last Tuesday, September 25th, happened. From there, I learned of 16 personality types, consisting of various combinations of letters forming a group. There are two options per “slot”, limiting the amount of combinations in terms of mathematics. But, that’s a good thing, or else the world would be a chaotic place with there being twice as much, or even more personality types. A typical combination of letters would be something like my combination, “ENFJ”, or “Extroverted Intuitive Who Feels with Judgement”. Yes, they are acronyms, sort of. How the Acronym forms depends
Additionally, because I am a type-A personality, I tend to want to do as much as possible in as little time as possible. I also do not do well as a team player, and due to my impatience, I tend to cut people off before they finish speaking (Student Assessment Library, 2008). Although in the North American culture a type-A personality tends “to be highly prized and positively associated with ambition and the successful acquisition of material goods” (Robbins and Judge, 2009, p. 114), as a type-A I “operate under moderate to high level levels of stress” (Robbins and Judge, 2009, p. 114) and my behavior is easy to
Thinking versus feeling is the next portion of the personality type. This letter covers how we make decisions. In the book Type Talk at Work, the authors explain that Thinkers tend to be more firm, just and analytical, whereas Feelers are more involved, subjective, and tend to be known for their caring nature
The first category of players contains those who couldn't care less, whether they win or lose. Easily recognizable by the fact that: they drag their feet when they walk, they mope around with a glazed look on their faces, and they are never seen exerting themselves. Other players in this category stand like gargoyles, only moving when they hear the game is over. A few possible explanations for their lack of interest could be: they never actually wanted to play in the first place, they aren't really that good at the sport (So why bother?), or their minds are on something else. This lack of spirit can be cured, but only if the players want the cure. This inoculation for lack of interest cannot be unwillingly given, it must be sought after. Some players are content to ‘never play hard’ or ‘give it one-hundred percent.’ For those seeking the cure (I would omit this because it is understood arlready-àfor lack of interestß and (Omit this as it is redundant: those who) wanting to be involved, it's possible. All they have to do is strive for it. They have to play as if they want to win, that's it. They have to want it, because if you don't want to win you won't (you might want to change this “you“ to “they“ since that is the subject and th...
Type A Personality or Type A Behavior Pattern (TABP) include typical responses of competitiveness, time urgency, and hostility. Type A’s normally strive towards a goal without feeling a sense of joy in their efforts or accomplishments. They also seem to be in a constant struggle against the clock and become impatient with any delays and unproductive time. Type A’s also tend to see the worse in others and display anger, envy and lack of compassion (McLeod, 2017).
As Shannon indicates athletes are slowly taking in that role of building those key characteristics. For instance the role of being a leader and owning up to their responsibilities.
Motivate the motivation, simple words that can mean some much to an athlete, but what is motivation really? In the games and sports, psychological and physiological factors play an important role in determining the performance level (Grange & Kerr, 2010; Schilling & Hyashi, 2001). Motivation also plays an important role in determining the performance level an athlete, but plays a role in the psychological and physiological factors as well. Motivation is more than a behavior or idea, it is an impact on how we interact with others, how we process defeat, feel, and how we play. Motivation will not only help an athlete get the starting position or gain an award but more importantly, help an athlete reach their potential. Motivation like most things
Types of High School Students High school is a one of a kind place, where the students attending it are likely to learn what they are going to do with their lives. Students may discover which job most suits them or what skills they have mastered, but along the way, every high school student attains a personality. These personalities are supposedly exclusive to that one person, however some people have qualities that are similar to others. These qualities classify their identities and what they’re known for after high school.
