Earth is populated

with people with all sorts of personalities.

You will undoubtedly encounter many different types of personalities, each with their own unique blend of nuances. But there are four basic types of personalities from which they are based, which is commonly referred to as A, B, C, and D. Although volumes have been written on such personality traits, here is a synopsis:


Type "A" Personality - Is a highly independent and driven personality, typically representing the leaders in business. They are blunt, competitive, no-nonsense types who like to get to the point. They are also strong entrepreneurial spirits (risk takers). As such, they embrace change and are always looking for practical solutions for solving problems.


Type "B" Personality - Represents highly extroverted people who love the spotlight. Because of this, they are very entertaining and possess strong charisma (everyone likes to be around them). Small wonder these people are sales and marketing types. They thrive on entertaining people and are easily hurt if they cannot sway someone (such as "bombing" on stage).

Type "C" Personality - The antithesis of Type "B"; they are introverted detailists as represented by such people as accountants, programmers, and engineers. They may have trouble communicating to other people, but are a whirlwind when it comes to crunching numbers or writing program code. They tend to be very cautious and reserved, and will not venture into something until after all the facts have been checked out.

Type "D" Personality - Is best characterized as those people who resist any form of change and prefer the tedium of routine, such as in clerical assignments. They are not adventurous, resist responsibility and prefer to be told what to do.

It is not uncommon to find people with a blend of personalities, particularly A-B and C-D. But these basic personality types explain why some people work well together and others do not. For example Type-A clashes with Type-D simply because one is more adventurous than the other, and Type-B clashes with Type-C as one exhibits an extroverted personality and the other is introverted. Conversely Type-A works well with Type-B, and Type-C works well with Type-D.

Upon reading this, some people will think that they are a blend of personalities. Well as for me, I am very much of Type A Personality. I like being organized, my schedule planned ahead and being on the right track. I do not like it when something surface out of the blue and interfere with my plans. Logic and practicality will definitely be the basis of many matters for me. Many a times, when it comes to serious work, people want to kill me and dump my dead body deep down the sea because I always suffocate them well, people will always give me the honour of being the one high and above because I am good in killing people when they don't get their work done somehow with a lot of effort and definitely alongside God's guidance, I drive people to positive outcomes.

It is certainly not easy to get along with a Type A, maybe that is why I am surrounded with plenty of Type Bs. These are the people whom will always remind me that everything will turn out fine and there will always be many ways in solving an issue while I am uptight and rigid. They are always the people whom allows me to spell "R E L A X, C A L M D O W N, H A V E F U N" whenever the huge tsunami waves of "S T R E S S" comes flooding me.

Having people walking in and out of your life is definitely part and parcel of well, life. Though we can be assured that since God is awesome in many ways, besides having a plan in life for each and every one of us, He knows who are the right people we should be with or keep for the rest of our lives and who are the people that we should murder keep a safe distance from.

So, what type of person you are after all?
