Actually, I kinda was surprised... I score more of B type with *some* A tendencies...

But I am stage managing a play at the moment, and that brings out the A... since, well, I'm in charge - because I AM not because I HAVE TO be - if you get the difference (I have to be because I am, not because I can't function any other way). Which likely fed the comment, since it came from one of my actors.

I know of A, B, C, and D... But Wikipedia has listed A, B, AB, C and X (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_A_personality)... and this Web site (http://www.wordspy.com/words/typeTpersonality.asp) lists a whole bunch... including X (although, I have to say going by this list? you're not an X):

Type A — Competitive, driven, stressed, workaholic
Type B — Relaxed, patient, friendly
Type C — Reticent, unassertive, nice to a fault
Type D — Anxious, insecure, gloomy, depressed
Type E — High-achieving, perfectionist, everything to everybody
Type F — Prone to forwarding e-mail messages
Type H — Hostile, hateful
Type I — Egocentric
Type J — Orderly, neat
Type M — Melodramatic
Type O — Prone to making spelling mistakes
Type P — Persistent
Type R — Responsive
Type S — Doesn't get enough sleep
Type T — Thrill-seeking
Type V — Plain, simple (vanilla)
Type W — Wacko
Type X — Domineering, tyrannical
Type Z — Extremely laid back (the "opposite" of a Type A)

I may be more of a W. LOL.
Definitely type O. :-) Right down to the blood type.
