Meta-analyses of prospective studies on coronary heart disease, type A personality, and hostility.
“The present meta-analyses cover all prospective studies until the end of 1998. The correlation coefficient r is used as effect size to yield information on the population effect size R and variance.

I'm type DBZ, because my personality is over 9, 000!!!

[BlueMaxx]

I'm AB. I'm chill. It takes a lot, but if I get angry, I get wrathful. I need to work on that. I also eat fast. Habit. I'm also very passionate and obsessive about many things in life. Like hardcore. Especially with entertainment.

[notoroussavag]

I'm type B but I most definitely use to be type A when I was younger. But its very exhausting. Glad I'm able to slow it down and really soak it in. Thanks for the video. Very informative and helped me out!

[BlueBD]

Can i have a type AB since I am quite intense about my chilling.

[JAYDUBYAH]

[flamechick]

B mostly but I can become obsessed with something and then I become all A on that one thing.

[moniquita]

I'm also pretty intense about my chilling, and very chill over my working.

[zoeeeeee]

For all of you saying this, extroverts and introverts arent the same thing as type a and b personalities. Theyre categorized completely differently

[muchalt]

I'm definitely type B but for me a disadvantage is if I'm put in a stressful situation, I feel like erupting anytime like its the end of the world. Although the moment I'm out of that situation, I instantly adjust to being chill

I wish I was A, I'm a lazy fucking shit.

[kateplummer]

im definitely type B... but people often say that type B people are lazy or not hard workers... I am not lazy and definitely a hard worker... just not super competitive, and I just like to enjoy life

[raffums]

Well type As are more likely to cause themselves stress which puts you at higher risk of heart attacks so it's not just hostility.

[ChariotOfFaith]

You can be driven, goal oriented and competitive without being combatant and stressed out.

[LawrenceRillera]

How about intense when working but extremely chill when not?

[viper]

I'm literally both types depending on the day

[FaizJiwani]
