Type A individuals can be described as impatient, time-conscious, controlling, concerned about their status, highly competitive, ambitious, business-like, aggressive, having difficulty relaxing; and are sometimes disliked by individuals with Type B personalities for the way that they're always rushing. They are often high-achieving workaholics who multi-task, drive themselves with deadlines, and are unhappy about delays. Type a individuals are often described as "stress junkies. Many business and political leaders have Type A personalities.

Because of these characteristics, Type B individuals are often described by Type A as apathetic and disengaged. There is also a Type AB mixed profile for people who cannot be clearly categorized.

I believed my personality is type A. But my leadership style is from managerial to balance. Sometime, it really depends on what kind of team members you have. At the beginning, when your team members are new and less experience to the job. I normally am managerial to give others a change to learn and get used to the job. Gradually, I give my team members the equal opportunity to handle job duty and grow on their own.
