read something interesting today...

apparently, there are two types of behaviour patterns among humans

Type A behaviour pattern (TABP)

"under stress, tend to exhibit behaviors such as achievement striving, competitiveness, time-urgency, hostility, aggressiveness, irritability, and impatience"

"hyperreactive to environment stressors"

"tend to work longer hours, travel more, be more confident about their own abilities"

"most likely outperform Type B individuals under stressful environment"

"motivated by strong desire to control, always seeking to regain control"

"however under prolonged exposure to stress, tend to suspend all effort to regain control (in other words, they tend to give up more easily then Type B individuals)"

"more prone to coronary heart disease and gastrointestinal, respiratory, and nonspecific viral illness"

Type B behaviour pattern (TBBP)

the opposite of TABP (obviously!)

So, are you Type A or B?

I'm pretty sure I'm Type B.. :D
