Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Betty's behavior is consistent with a Type A personality. Type A individuals are competitive, achievement-oriented, have a strong sense of time urgency, and are often impatient with others. They have a high need for control and are driven to accomplish their goals. In contrast, Type B individuals are more relaxed, less time-oriented and less competitive. Internal and external refer to locus of control, which is unrelated to Betty's behavior in this scenario.
