Persons with type D or distressed personalities experience increased negative emotions, but do not share their emotions. People with type A personalities are characterized as competitive, aggressive, ambitious, impatient, alert, tense, and restless. Persons with type B personalities do not exhibit these behaviors and generally are more relaxed, easy-going, and easily satisfied. They have an accepting attitude about trivial mistakes and use a problem-solving approach to major problems. People with type C personalities are described as having difficulty expressing emotion; being introverted, respectful, conforming, compliant, eager to please; and avoiding conflict.
