Type A/B Personality Test

Discover whether your personality leans toward driven urgency, relaxed ease, or quiet people-pleasing.

What this test measures

Developed by cardiologists Meyer Friedman and Ray Rosenman in the 1950s, Type A/B theory identifies distinct personality patterns linked to stress response and behaviour. Type A individuals show urgency, competitiveness, and hostility; Type B individuals are relaxed and present-focused. Later research added Type C — a pattern of emotional suppression and conflict avoidance.

What the Type A/B Personality Test measures

Your answers are scored across 3 core dimensions:

• Type A

  Moderate Type A — you have clear ambition and some time urgency, but you are not dominated by them. You can push hard when it matters and relax when it does not. You are competitive but not at the expense of everything else.

• Type B

  Moderate Type B — you have a generally easy-going disposition with some capacity for focus and goal-directed effort when you choose. You do not typically feel driven or pressured but can engage seriously when something genuinely matters to you.

• Type C

  Moderate Type C — you have some tendency toward emotional suppression and conflict avoidance but are not dominated by it. You can assert yourself in some contexts while deferring in others.
