• I took this test on a CD for my class - it has 49 different self-tests that you can take. If you want a copy, let me know.

  Now I know what a Type A personality is! And I am one, apparently. Reading the description, I'm quite clearly a Type A!

  AM I A TYPE-A?
  Your score is: 102

  This instrument
  measures the degree to which you're competitive and rushed for time.
  The Type A personality describes someone who is aggressively involved
  in a chronic, incessant struggle to achieve more and more in less and
  less time. More specifically, Type As are always moving, walking, and
  eating rapidly; feel impatient with the pace of most events; strive to
  do two or more things at once; do not cope well with leisure time; and
  are obsessed with numbers, measuring their success in terms of how many
  or how much of everything they acquire. Type Bs are the exact
  opposites.
  

  A total of 120 or more
  indicates that you are a hard-core Type A. Scores below 90 indicate
  that you are a hard-core Type B. The following gives you more
  specifics:
  

  120 or more points = A+ personality type

  106-119 = A

  100-105 = A

  90-99 = B+

  Less than 90 = B

  If you score in the "A"
  categories, you need to be aware of your tendency to focus on quantity
  over quality. You may do better in jobs that are routine and rely on
  speed rather than creativity for success. In addition, Type As often
  experience moderate to high levels of stress.
