Type A being aggressive people
Type B being laid back
Both have their own advantages, but also have disadvantages
Type A people are aggressive, "Ain't nobody got time fo dat" Type people. Tend to work more, and have it in early. Usually road ragers, hate slow moving people and things. Typically impatient. More subject to stress, and stress related injuries such as stress fractures and hear attacks.(173+)
Type B people are laid back, easy going type people. Tend to spend more time enjoying things in life. Being a type B doesn't imply laziness, but just general uncaring over simple issues such as traffic. Studies show type B's live happier lives, sometimes longer. Less likely to succumb to stress. (171-)

I love the type A/B segment in Psych.Personality type is a modified version of the Jenkins Activity Survey. This survey was originally formulated to detect behaviors which lead to heart attacks (Jenkins, Ayzanski, Rosenman, 1971). Type A personality generally refers to hard workers who are often preoccupied with schedules and the speed of their performance. Type B personalities may be more creative, imaginative, and philosophical. The test consists of 30 multiple-choice items. Scores range from 35 to 380. Type A is associated with a high score while Type B is associated with a low score.
