Revisit James Gleick's essay Life as Type A on pp. 449-454 of your Longman Reader.

1. Do some research on Type B personality. Write a post of no shorter than 150 words in which you offer a fuller definition of the Type B personality than Gleick's essay provides. Rather than defining Type B through negation, as Friedman and Roseman do, marshal convincing evidence that illustrates the validity of the Type B phenomenon. Write a brief personality sketch of the "canonical" Type B as well as discuss the factors that shape the Type B personality as you define it. Be sure and cite your source.

2. Take the personality test at http://www.personalitytype.com/career_quiz and summarize the results.
