Type A personality people

[Deleted]

A million times yes to the group work. Group work sucks.

[Deleted]

i thought i was type A until i read this list. #s 3-6 and 21 are inapplicable to me. i'm EXCELLENT at relaxing.

but #25 is my LYFE. group projects are for schmucks.

[Deleted]

i feel like i'm among friends here, so i will admit that no matter how late it is on friday night, i remove everything from my desk, wipe it, my keyboard, and my phone down with a clorox wipe, and then restack and sort everything before i go.

[bluey0214]

Yes,  I hate group work, have a million to do lists and always say yes to more work.

[game blouses]

Every one of these things applies to DH.

Ditto.  I love to do lists, but I am not as uptight as all that.

[Deleted]

The list is mostly accurate for me.

I was never big on the studying in school, as I didn't really need to. So the points about studying don't really apply.

My biggest points are those related to lateness. I need to have everything scheduled and I get anxious if running late or if someone just wants to play it by ear (<--- my worst nightmare).

[thinklikeajellyfish]

Yes.  That list describes me very well.  Pretty much the only thing I don't fit on that list is the spotless work area.  I am a messy Type A. 

I laughed and nodded when reading these:
1. Making to-do lists calms you down.
2. You have alarms and schedules for everything.
3. You hate when people are late.
4. Almost as much as when they make you late.
11. You finish people’s sentences out of impatience.

#3 - OMG, rage.  I hate hate hate it when people are late. 
#4 - it gives me the cold sweats and lots of anxiety when people make me late.
#11 - my husband hates that I do this to him, mostly because I'm always right about what he was going to say and it flabbergasts him.

Uhhhh, I'm not Type A at all and most of that list applies to me, lol.

you're the worst kind.  you're high maintenance, but you think you're low maintenance.

[sergey]

I'm so not type A I didn't even finish reading that.

[lime]

YES

It's like an illness. But, a delicious illness wrapped in cinnamon.

- I effing love highlighters! I have to keep reminding myself not to use them so much when studying.

- I hate group work. I hate working with other people and having to compromise with other ideas because obviously their ideas suck about 90% of the time.

- I love a clean workspace. I love clean Apple Store looking offices. I hate clutter because it raises my anxiety.

- I need to-do lists or I freak out and fall apart. Packing for a trip usually brings me to tears if I'm rushing and don't have it down on paper.

[Kore]

Does ANYONE like group work? I'm way too type B (like, barely functional adult), but I loathe group work, too.

[Jalapeñomel]

I have yet to meet a single person who likes group work.

[Jalapeñomel]

People who finish other people sentences make me rage.

[MWOS]

yes, except that I was actually fun in college

Only the assholes that never contribute. And, even those people are smart enough to not admit it. 

[sawyerthedestroyer]

I'm always type A when I take those quizzes but a lot of these don't apply to me. I'm so confused!

[isabel]

About half of these apply to me. I wonder if that means I'm Type A or something else. But GOD YES to 1, 10, 12, and 25.

[thebuddhagouda]

I need to go check my bushes because someone from Buzzfeed has clearly been following me around

[revolution]

The only ones that don't apply are the library ones ( I hated the library and was happy in a quiet room or empty room in my major class section). And since kids I have no problem going to sleep when shit isn't done

[Deleted]

Accurate with the exception of the news story thing. I don't use social media and don't care at all who posts what before me.

[thebuddhagouda]

I spent more time in the art studio than the library because...well...art major, but everything else is spot on. THough like sequin said, my resume is already perfect. I'm not wasting time on it when I could be getting something else done.

[teeah22]

I thought I was type A but there's a lot there that doesn't apply to me. I don't think it's about being a workaholic, it's about getting shit done the correct way. That's why I hated group work, I never trusted any of those other idiots to do it right, so I'd just do it myself. This is also why I never let DH put furniture together, the instructions are there for a reason goddammit!

I do find list making relaxing and I make super detailed vacation lists. Like sometimes I'll even list what specific underwear to pack.

[wambam]

I didn't really think I was a type A until I read this. Holy shite, to a tee.

Me too!! Except the student council thing. Im not sure we even had student council in high school. Oh I was in Leadership in elementary school. Safety at recess was my specialty. ::nerd alert::

We must have been twins separated at birth.

All of this...except the late part. I am late to everything.

Oh, and I am the boss, so no group work for me. This is key to my happiness. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!
