ClubV12 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 In my case the A stands for "adrenalin junky". How I have survived this many years I owe to the Lord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators John317 Posted November 25, 2011 Moderators Share Posted November 25, 2011 Wikipedia says: Quote: Originally published in the 1950s, the Type A and Type B personality theory (also known as the "Jacob Goldsmith theory") is a theory which describes two common, contrasting personality types—the high-strung Type A and the easy-going Type B—as patterns of behavior that could either raise or lower, respectively, one's chances of developing coronary heart disease. Though it has been widely controversial in the scientific and medical communities since its publication, the theory has nonetheless persisted, both in the form of pop psychology and in the general lexicon, as a way to describe one's personality. Such descriptions are still often equated with coronary heart disease or other health issues, though not always as a direct result of the theory. Quote John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. [17] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overaged Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I don't really give much credence to all that personality type stuff. Too many unanswered questions. Too many people can be unfairly labelled. Quote "People [rarely] see...the bright light which is in the clouds..." (Job 37:21)"I cannot know why suddenly the stormshould rage so fiercely round me in it's wrathBut this I know: God watches all my pathAnd I can trust""God helps us to draw strength from the storm" - OveragedFaith makes things possible; it does not make them easy, Steps To Christ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Bravus Posted November 25, 2011 Moderators Share Posted November 25, 2011 I think I'm more of a Shanghai than a Taipei personality. I agree with OA in that it's a simplistic personality scheme. Real people are more complex. Any category system like this is useful rather than true. Until it stops being useful.

Moderators LynnDel Posted November 25, 2011 Moderators Share Posted November 25, 2011 I think of Type A as "driven." Sometimes I wish I had a little more Type A in me, but I'm too laid back to go for it. LD Quote LD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until it stops being useful. ........Very true, however when you are dealing with several people per day it gives one a starting point in dealing with the presenting persons issues. Defining the "personality" is very helpful in understandiing how the individual sees their problem. All this of course must be done with insight, education and prayer for guidance.

Moderators Gerr Posted November 25, 2011 Moderators Share Posted November 25, 2011 I'm probably the prototype type B. Florence Littauer (not sure if she originated the idea) broke it down to 4 temperamental types: Sanguine, choleric, phlegmatic, and melancholic. On the test, I came out phlegmatic.

monty Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I like that concept of "prototype". As citizens bound for heaven perhaps the development of our personalities will be completed in heaven! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldona Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I'm probably the prototype type B. Florence Littauer (not sure if she originated the idea) broke it down to 4 temperamental types: Sanguine, choleric, phlegmatic, and melancholic. On the test, I came out phlegmatic. I think I'm a Type B personality forced into a type A job. Rewarding when it's working well but can be very stressful. As for the 4 temperaments - the pastor who did the pre-marital counselling for my better half and I, said I was the most melancholic person he had ever encountered. (and that wasn't at a time when I was suffering from depression, either!) With a generous serve of phlegmatic thrown in too. Florence L wrote some interesting books on the 4 temperaments, but she didn't originate the idea. I think it goes back to the ancient Greeks.

Quote phkrause By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near. {5T 451.1} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
