Wow, I got 135 too. It's totally off, though, when it lists the things that supposedly I would do, given its analysis.

Your Type 'A' Score: 105 Your score falls between the Type A and Type B scales. Congratulations, you're normal!


Scale: Type A = 120+ Type B = below 90

Type A Behavior Pattern

Persons exhibiting this pattern have been described as having a highly competitive achievement orientation, a constant sense of time urgency, an ulrelenting drive, hurried and explosive speech patterns, quick motor movements, a vague guilt or uneasiness about relaxing or slowing down, and an aggressive, restless, and impatient manner.

Measures of the Type A behavior pattern have been found to predict the likelihood and severity of coronary heart disease.

Type A's tend to

1. work long hard hours constantly under deadline pressures and conditions of overload,
2. carry work home on evenings and weekends and shhow an inability to relax,
3. often cut vacations short to get back to work,
4. constantly compete with themselves as well as others,
5. feel frustrated in the work situation,
6. are irritable with the work efforts of subordinates, and
7. feel misunderstood by their superiors.



Type B People are the opposite of Type A. They tend to be more relaxed, and suffer less stress. Very little research has been done concerning the personality and health characteristics of Type B personalities.

(1) 65-70hrs per week. If I don't get it done nobody else will and the whole job will collapse.
(2) If I went home. I live on the job 6 days a week. No bull, I walk out my front door and I am at work.
(3) Vacation, HAH! Last time I asked about one of those my boss laughed. It's been over three years.
(4) Compete against who? Most of the sissys here couldn't get out of bed as early as I do 2 days in a row.
(5) These asshats can't make a plan 5 minutes ahead of time. Bailing them out is a pain in the ass.
(6) They gave me a helper once. Everytime I turned around he was in the outhouse. Ran him off after 1 week. If you want something done right, do it yourself.
(7) I'm misunderstood by everybody, not just the bosses. One thing they understand tho, if they want it done, on time, with no excuses, I'm the man.
