type A and type B personality
Type A and B personalities is a theory of two different personalities consisting of “The high strung” which is classified as type A and the “easy going” classified as type B.
The theory studies behavioural traits and patterns.
It has also been seen as controversial according to some scientists and some medical community’s according to Wikipedia online.
TYPE A
The theory of type A personality is that people have individuality and are ambitious and strict. They are very focused on what they do. They care about their status in society and that can lead to sensitivity. They care about others and try to help who they can. People with type A usually take on more than they can handle. They like people who are straight to the point and are obsessed with time management and like to push deadlines if they are under them.
THREE MAJOR TRAITS
Free floating hostility
Time urgency
Competitive drive
TYPE B
Type B personality’s try to live a low stress lifestyle and work steadily.
They enjoy small achievements they don’t usually become stressed about things if they do not reach what they are trying to achieve.
They enjoy thinking of new concepts and ideas and have poor time management.
Are right brain thinkers.
Right brain thinkers are usually creative, musical. They also learn differently to left brain thinkers. They like to scan information they read to get things done quickly, and don’t get to point A and point B as quickly as others. They learn by visual.
“When right brains talk to you, they look at you while listening and look away to the left when answering a question. This is a brain shift from one side to another. This is not a sign of fabrication”
THREE MAJOR TRAITS
Enjoys achievement
Right brain thinkers
Poor time management
Carl Jung
Carl jung did not define the terms of type a and type be he merely practiced and discovered it in later years it was more clearly defined.
How the theory relates to construction of personality
The theory is all about personality you’re either type A or type B.
You’re attitude and the way you conduct yourself is how the theory relates to personality. I think the theory is slightly wrong because you can’t just be given a personality it is created over time from family influences and hereditary traits.
A case study that I found on the internet that you can find at this link http://europace.oxfordjournals.org/content/7/3/211.full
Was conducted on “The relationship between personality, socioeconomic factors, spontaneous conversation”
Their aim was to do a study that found out about personality factors and acute life stress with other factors included. They conducted the case study on 116 people.
They found that 23 of those people (20%) had type personality. Spontaneous conversation was looked at in 72 people (63%). They looked at Spontaneous conversation as well. People who do have this trait are more outgoing and more open to meeting knew people.
They concluded that people with high stress levels were more likely to be type A as well as spontaneous conversation factors.
People who are type A have high stress levels because they put pressure on themselves to get work done in a short amount of time. They like being on time and in control and strive for perfection.

Your opinion / view on the theory
My opinion is I don’t think you can just be diagnosed with the one type of personality. You can have all difference sides to your personality it can be study but only to a point.
Some people have mixed personality’s because of the way they were brought up but all the professionals have their opinions but it all depends on what you think makes up personality.

Episode 8: people watchers
People in a longer line are more likely to pull you up on cutting in line but if your in a shorter line people are more likely to let you into it because they don't have to wait as long.
There is also a difference of gender on public acceptance of queue jumpers.
Its more likely that if you are a women there is more of a chance that you are able to get into the line.
Or if you make up an excuse and are very apologetic people are more likely to let you in even if you excuse is bad.
People watchers think that telling people they are good at something will it affect your performance at whatever you doing at that time.
The experimenter split them into groups A and B
The A group didn't miss a shot. The B group missed most of their shots. The experimenter made sure to use negative negative words to describe their techniques and let them know how good team A was.
"Team A did good because they were encouraged Team B didn't"
