Got this from a website ....http://www.mindpub.com/art206.htm
sounds familiar???
1. Time-Impatience,. A type A person, is most often intolerant of how much time everything consumes. Impatience regarding inordinate or unnecessary delay is normal and justifiable, but what characterizes type A behavior is constant sense of time urgency and impatience regarding the time various tasks and chores ordinarily consume. In moderate cases, a patient has a constant sense of "time urgency," but in severe cases, the impatience regarding time becomes so intense that it creates a chronic sense of irritation or exasperation.
2. Ever-present and all pervasive hostility, or as labeled by Friedman, "free floating hostility." This is when the level of hostility one exhibits is often not justifiable or valid when compared with the cause or the event that provoked it. Type A behavior is often characterized by hostility that is provoked by trivial and insignificant events.
3. Constant apprehension of future disasters. People who suffer from TAB have a constant apprehension of future disasters they may encounter. For example, they may have just won a big victory, but even during the triumphant moment, apprehension may still persist of a disaster that may foul up the future for them. They live in dread of negative possibilities.
Tabbers are followers of the "cult of speed." They have an inordinate drive to participate in a myriad of projects and they busy themselves with acquiring more and more possessions and recognition's. At work, they find it difficult to delegate to their subordinates and impose needless deadlines upon themselves. At home, they have hard time in expressing affection or extending praise to their spouse and children.
They frequently lose their temper while driving because of other people's less-than-perfect driving. They rarely experience joy at the achievement of others. They are intolerant of even the trivial errors of omission and commission by others. They are suspicious of the motives of most people they encounter. Their view of others is cynical, that is, they believe that "everyone thinks only of himself and his goals."
Yup.. ppl.. that' moi! Argh.. i snd like an utter bitch.. i simply juz fit the type A bill from Beginning to end..wat they dont' tell you is how to undo a type A personailty.. i could use that.
