Classification 

Type A and Type B 

          Dictionary.com defines classification as the act of classifying and the result of classifying or being classified.   There are many different ways to classify a person.   The shape of there body to the form of there personality.  Either way we all fit into some kind of category.  I have a wide variety of versatile friends.  Every one of them is unique in their own way.  Some are alike and some are far from being alike.  Understanding the personality types of my friends helps me to know whom I can count on and who will just be there when they want to be there.  It’s like comparing my friends to types a personality to type B personality.        

First there is Amy.  She is a type A personality.  Type A personality isBeing impatient, time-conscious, competitive, hostile, drive themselveswith deadlines, and workaholics.  Amy is the kind of person that has tohave a set plan or her whole day is out of order.  She is very anal abouteverything.  She is the type that if the electric bill comes in the mail, it is going out the next day even if it isn’t due for another two weeks.  Amy doesn’t really do anything out of the norm; she goes to the same places for dinner with the same friends.  I have found from experience that Amy would not go out of her way to help a friend out, only if it benefited her.  Amy may think that she is kind and considerate, but really she only looks out for number one.   She is what I call the type of person that crosses all her “T’s” and dots all her “I’s” type of friend.       

Secondly there is Adrienne.  She is type B personality.  Sometimes I thinkshe could be a mixture of type A/B personality.  She sometimes has the characteristic of type A.  She is mostly type B.  Type B personality is patient, easy going, work steadily, when faced with competition they don’t mind losing, and in contrast.  Adrienne is the type of person that just lives in the moment.  She rarely makes plans and does whatever she feels like.  Adrienne is a procrastinator.  Adrienne puts everything off to thelast minute and just goes with.  She is far from trying to be perfect.  Out of all my friends I find that Adrienne is will go out of her way for anyone.  Adrienne is the type that will give you the shirt off her back if it makes you feel better.  She is the type of person that doesn’t cross all her “T’s” and dot all her “I’s” type of friend.

Third, there is Mandy. She is type AB personality. There really isn’t a AB personality type, but it’s considered a mixture of A and B personality.  Mandy can be competitive and hostile. Then go right to being calm, cool, and collective.  Mandy is one of my friends that I would call to hang out and relax, because she is a mixture of both.  It gives me the best of both personalities.  It all depends what kind of mood she is in . 

Classifying my friends into personality type A, personality type B, and personality type AB was really interesting.  Analyzing my friends helped me to know what to expect from them in different situations.  We all fit into some sort of classification; do you know what personality type you are?  I found that I would fit under personality type B. We all are classified under something.  We are who we are.
