1. As Gleick's essay states, the type B personality is completely opposite of the type A personality. However, Gleick does not provide ample information on the type B personality. Type B personality is temperament characterized by moderate ambitiousness and drive, accommodating attitude, cooperativeness, focus on quality and quantity, and an easy going approach to life.Type B is considered the normal or average person. They are usually calm and collected and it takes a lot to irritate them. they are rarely overstressed and tend to be more productive rather than destructive when stressed. They are patient and don't mind waiting for things or going at a slow relaxed pace. Type B people are described as apathetic and disengaged. Type B people are relaxed by nature and have no sense of urgency. They have no problems relaxing and just sitting still doing nothing. You might call someone with type B personality a procrastinator because they tend to put off work until the last minute because they can handle the stress and don't get too overwhelmed like a type A personality would.

2. My personality type is INTP (Introvert, Intuitive, Thinker, Perceiver). I think this test is a pretty accurate description of me, although not completely accurate. I'm an extrovert when i'm around people I'm comfortable with and sometimes even with strangers it just depends on my mood. I just prefer to not be a loud obnoxious person who always has to be the center of attention, not sure if that should qualify me as in introvert though. However, the fact that it said I was very logical in my thinking and think in very complex ways proved to be accurate. I'm always thinking things through in depth in my head and am very skeptical of people and ideas.
