Type A Behavior Pattern Test
12-item quick quiz based on Friedman and Rosenman (1959)
Are you Type A or Type B? A quick 12-item quiz measuring time urgency, competitiveness, hostility, and achievement drive. About 3 minutes.
Type A people get things done. They are also the ones tapping their foot in the checkout line, interrupting their friends, and checking email during dinner. Type B people are the opposite - more relaxed, less rushed, perfectly happy to let things unfold.
This test looks at four core dimensions of Type A behavior: time urgency, competitiveness, hostility, and achievement striving. You will answer 12 quick questions on a 5-point scale, then see where you land on the A-to-B spectrum. About 3 minutes.
