Answer 1. Friedman and Rosenman (1976) proposed the ABC classification of personality types based on certain traits and behaviours. Their model matches each perosnality type with the most likely health risk in the individuals based on their distinct personality traits. For instance people with type A personality run a higher risk of heart disease and high blood pressure than type Bs. Type perosnality is characterised by the following behaviours:
Type A personalities experience a constant sense of urgency and impulsiveness and quickly become impatient with delays and unproductive time.
They get highly anxious about multi tasking and try to do more than one thing at a time, such as reading while eating.
They are highly competitive and easily get angry. However, may or may not express their hostility and anger overtly.
Type A individuals tend to evaluate others negatively and see the worse in others, often lacking expressions of compassion.
