9 Type A Personality A person with a Type A personality is “aggressively involved in a chronic, incessant struggle to achieve more and more in less and less time, and, is required to do so, against the opposing efforts of other things or other persons”. In the Sri Lankan culture, such characteristics tend to be highly prized and positively associated with ambition.

10 Type A’s Are always moving, walking, and eating rapidly Feel impatient with the rate at which most events take place Strive to think or do two or more things at once Cannot cope with leisure time Obsessed with numbers, measuring their success in terms of how many or how much of everything they acquire.

11 Type B Personality In contrast to the Type A personality is the Type B, who is exactly opposite. Type B’s are “rarely harried by the desire to obtain a wildly increasing number of things or participate in an endless growing series of events in an ever-decreasing amount of time”.

12 Type B’s Never suffer from a sense of time urgency with its accompanying impatience Feel no need to display or discuss either their achievements or accomplishments unless such exposure is demanded by the situation Play for fun and relaxation, rather than to exhibit their superiority at any cost Can relax without guilt.
