Type A Personality

I've read in a few med student blogs now about how the med students (including the bloggers themselves) are all Type A Personalities. So I've started to wonder if I am also a Type A Personality, and whether I will therefore fit the description of a typical med student.

I found this quick quiz to help me figure it out.

On a scale of 0 (Totally Type B) - 100 (Totally Type A), I scored a 44, and this was the brief description offered:

"You seem to be in the middle between the Type A and Type B personality. In this case, the middle ground is good. Your attitude to life is more of the "smell the roses" kind and you know how and when to relax. Nonetheless, you realize that picking up a challenge and competing a little bit for your place in the sun can add some spice to your life. The equilibrium is important, so don't let your hostile, aggressive, and competitive alter ego take over too often. Generally, you are easy to be around, and people tend to feel relaxed and comfortable in your presence. Yours is a very healthy attitude towards life."

Woohoo! I'm a balanced individual! But will that therefore make me a poor fit in the med student world...??
