I remember reading about Type A personality in English class (as a second language), where I then wrote about how I must be Type B. Never heard anyone actually use either type though. Possibly because we didn't get the fake research over here.

@ammalyrical5646 3 года назад

I once did a test to see which level of secondary education would fit me. It was testing motivation, personality relating to learning, and of course a combination of knowledge and understanding. I have no clue anymore what the full result was (it's over 15 years ago) but I do know that from hearing descriptions of what type a and type b are (which I never knew before) I thought I was neither. Or rather: it depends on a plethora of things how I act. ADHD and this typing also don't really seem to fit together (especially when you realize for us it probably depends even more on the situation how we act and interact). Bullshitting research is something of all ages apparently. Only currently psychology has a bunch of fraud going on at times because of the publication stress for the authors/researchers. And it's not always easy to check if something is fraudulent. I've studied at a university that had a scandal going on with one of their psychology people of massive proportions because it had been going on for years (and they published multiple articles a year). From someone of the medical field: be careful with health science research and make sure to check the meta-analyses if you want to be as certain as possible. Same goes for medicine btw. The newest lab research is often the most fascinating stuff. There also hasn't been a lot of time for repeat trials in a lot of cases. Hmm. I wonder what kind of archaic, non-existent personality type this comment would place me in...

I was enjoying this. Until the end. What’s wrong with mediocrity? I’m a GP. I was in a locally elevated status among my peers two years ago until events occurred through my actions and the actions of others. A recent family bereavement has also made me more introspective and wade into Epictetus. I think if our behaviours can promote quality longevity then if this suggests mediocrity at some level, then I’m all for it. We all can’t be leaders. But we can lead our own lives for ourselves

@flymypg 3 года назад

I was feeling so good until you got to neuroticism. I'm a loner, enjoying my solitude as a necessary buffer between me and "the world", perhaps slightly on "the spectrum". Though I don't think of myself as neurotic, the definitions and behaviors seem do seem to be oddly relevant and applicable. What to make of it? Professionally, I tend to get tunnel-vision when working a problem, which can rub others the wrong way. I'm good at problem-solving, and a bit hard on people. Which some view as neurotic, as I tend to insist I'm right until presented with evidence to the contrary. At which point, when proved wrong, I complete cave and apologize profusely. Which, truth be told, is often the level of pushing needed to get others off their butts to challenge my view of the world. I view it as a win-win, but others view it as their needing to "correct me". Sigh. Perhaps I'm not a great collaborator. I've had a ton of therapy, and consider myself to be a CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) success story for depression, but if anything that success has solidified my view that truth is exposed by doing, not by postulating or pontificating. (I'm an engineer, if it wasn't obvious already.) This episode was personally challenging, as I've often worn the "Type A" label without seeing it as being in any way valid. But what if "Type A" is merely an external observation, and not at all an internal reality (as a diagnosis)? That's the only context in which it would seem to make sense.

@echan101 3 года назад

I find that it's Type B people who like to label people as Type A as a way of saying they are neurotic and that's why they don't understand how Type B people are feeling. I don't recall anyone saying "You're type B, that explains everything" but I have definitely heard "You're type A, that explains everything".

Also, most of your movement (and this is coming from someone who watches you on a screen, not real life) is limited to the radius of your elbow. Truly hand talkers (:3) extend their elbows and use their wrists and the pointy things beyond wrists to get the point across. However, I also have many germanic and english-speaking friends...and you do kinda move your elbows a bit more than the average austrian and brit I've met. So yes no and depends.

Using type a personality does describe some personality disorders. Trying to use other phrases for a person who acts like all the “t traits, “of a type a personality listed or just going around and trying to say something different in a different way. Is what type a personality wants you to do. Most of the people who are on this fictitious list as you say are really horrible human beings that control others. And think that they should live the way that they live. So I’m going to continue to use a personality because it’s easier that everything is on that list and I have a family member that’s on steroids on that list.
