🔍 Key Concepts

• Type A vs Type B behavior patterns in psychology • How long-term stress typically relates to competitive, time-urgent personalities • The typical personality traits of managers and supervisors in demanding environments

💭 Think About

• Think about which personality type (A or B) is usually described as more competitive, driven, and impatient, and how that connects to stress. • Consider whether people in management roles are more often described as relaxed/easygoing or high-pressure/achievement‑oriented. • Ask yourself: which combination of personality type and stress over long periods best matches what you’ve learned about job-related stress in leadership roles?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the definitions of Type A and Type B personalities before choosing. • Match the personality type that fits highly driven, deadline-focused managers with the correct stress outcome over long periods. • Eliminate any choice where the stress outcome contradicts what you know about that personality type’s typical health/stress risks.
