Type A personalities

[fwtcc]

Oh, and I don't think those who ranked in the middle necessarily qualify as beta-males.  I am very much an alpha, thought at first glace the laid-back approach may seem "beta".  The last GF thought she was dealing with a beta... some surprise when it finally dwaned on her that in matters of worldview and leadership I am a strong-willed alpha, I just try not to be a prick about it.

I agree.  I am the same way.
Except, if someone insist on leading, I'll let them.  Until they F' it up.  Then its time for me to take the raigns(sp?) fix their shit storm and get things back on track.  I don't have to lead, until, I have to.
The type B helps there, when the shit hits the fan its the cool head that gets it solved.

funny, the link didn't take me to the hot asian chick test... 



47 on the type A thing, though... and I'm rather certain I am a beta-male, so it makes sense...

i call BS.....

its so obvious.

/seriously..is there a type-Z?

I sent the test to my wife who I sure was an A++++++++ personality.  Very uptight, perfectionist, yada yada yada.  I am as B- as I thought possible, laid back, let shit roll off, dont sweat the little stuff.

We both got the same score, I kid you not.  55

70 here,

been known as a type A, but been trying hard to mellow out. Might just be easier for everyone else to change though

Yep.

During a college project, I let the anal-retentive type-A take the lead... when he effed it up, I stepped in (since I was the #2 guy on the team, and a couple of the other team members had been my roommates and trusted my judgement).

I had no idea why I didn't just lead right from the get-go (one of the former roomies asked me why I didn't take it when we were picking the team lead... that should've been my clue).  Then I took a Myers-Briggs test, and came up as an INTJ, or "The Mastermind".  Turns out that's exactly what the Mastermind does... he/she lets those chomping at the bit take the lead... until they demonstrate incompetence.
