Personality type and its impact on health
Human psychology is very much diversified. Some are tense, impatient, aggressive, restless, highly ambitious and on the other hand some are relaxed, calm and quiet, less tensed.
Considering these points, psychologists and researchers divide the over all population in to three types — Type A, Type B and Mixed type personality.
Type A personality
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 are always rushing. They are often high-achieving workaholics who are used to multitasking, drive themselves with deadlines and are unhappy about delays. Because of these characteristics, Type A individuals are often described as "stress junkies". Many business and political leaders have Type A personalities.
Type B personality
Type B individuals, in contrast, are described as patient, relaxed, and easy-going, generally lacking an overriding sense of urgency. 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 categorised.
Many research have already been done and many more are going on about human personality issue.
Though there are criticism about these personality types, most of the researchers agree that Type A personality people are having a more risk to develop cardiac diseases like chest pain, myocardial infarction, hypertension etc.
On the other hand Type B people are having less risk in developing the cardiovascular disease and they need to pay visit to doctor less then that of Type A people. They enjoy relatively better healthy life.
Now a days life is not very easy. There are hassles in every step, competition, confusion, dissatisfaction, mismanagement, deprivation, depression etc. very common in life, even then to keep us healthy and happy we should be conscious, cautious, less tempered , easy thinking, easy going, be satisfied with what we have, logical, rational and less competitive in life.
