1)Type B individuals, are described as patient, relaxed, and easy-going, generally lacking any sense of urgency. Because of these characteristics, Type B individuals are often described as apathetic and disengaged. I am under the impression that type B people are just the casual laid back type people we see every day! We are in a society where there isnt alot of type B people because every one is trying to beat the clock in their worlds. I know that i am not that type B person because i am hardly ever relaxed, patient, or lack any sense of urgency. I am always fighting with the clock. I think that type B people are the lucky ones that get to enjoy life. For example the really rich individuals that dont really work at all they just have people working for them and they can afford anything they want... i think this is a great example of a type B person. Lucky them!

2) I took the personality test and i am a INTJ (Introvert, Intuitive, Thinker, Judger). In the summery it almost describes me exactly. It says i am a long range thinker and strive for perfection in most everything i do. I have a strong need for achievement that drives me to reach my goals. I also push others as hard as i push myself.

ReplyDeleteHey Clay, I really like the way you described the type B personality type. i agree that they are patient people who are relaxed and generally easy going. Also, I don't see myself as a type B person just as you don't see yourself being one. I rush through things and always worry about deadlines no matter what the circumstance or whether or not its necessary. However, i did see that you got your information from Wikipedia. I dont think that this is such a reliable source to be getting this information from because it is available for open editing. other than that, great post :)
I like your comment about Type B people, When you think about it, it does sound kind of nice. Unfortunately I'm more like a Type A person, and I think sitting around and doing nothing would also drive me crazy.
ReplyDeleteGiven the descriptions of a type B person, it would seem that they are lucky in that they don't have as much stress as a type a person. Of course, type b people also have negative aspects such as what you wrote about being apathetic, not being able to connect to others seems like a sad way to live undermining their ability to enjoy life. I agree, wealthy people probably are type B but that's only after going through life as type A trying to build their wealth.
