Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Individuals with a "hardy" personality are characterized by a resistance to the negative effects of stress, an orientation towards challenge and change, and a sense of commitment and control over their lives. They can handle stress without experiencing the negative emotions such as anger and hostility often associated with Type A personalities. Type B personalities, on the other hand, are generally more easygoing and laid-back, and are not necessarily stress-driven. Type C and optimistic personalities do not specifically relate to stress response or handling.
