| Read this fascinating interview with Ray H. Rosenman titled "Type A and Coronary Disease: Separating Fact from Fiction." In an extraordinarily readable fashion, this interview goes much more in-depth on the health ramifications of Type A personality than can possibly be covered in an introductory psychology text. And do be prepared for a bit of humor as well. ( http://www.stress.org/TypeA.htm ) | ||

| Here's a fun test that you can take on-line to give you some idea about where you fall on the Type A/Type B continuum (they also include a Type C, which apparently is REALLY laid back). If you're honest, you can get enough feedback to get an idea about your typical behavior patterns (although you probably already know them); you don't need to pay for any more in-depth information. Be prepared, though, to spend some time taking the quiz, especially if you don't have a high-speed computer. ( http://psychologytoday.psychtests.com/yahoo/anxiety/type_a_r_access.html ) | ||
