Type B. My grandparents taught me to give 110% in everything you do, including work. I never tried to take charge, unless no one was fulfilling that role. I have had lead positions but I worked along side others rather than bossed anyone.
I have a bit of a competitive nature but not at work. That's mostly with my siblings, and specifically with games. I generally got along with everyone and could find ways around difficult situations. I'm always harder on myself than others. However, I don't think I have much patience, but my friends and family say I do but I am also passionate about the things I believe in.
I tend to be a bit of an overachiever when it comes to learning. When I was in college, I double majored, worked at the college at the same time. That's where my ambitions came to the surface.
I always felt that a work environment produced more when it was enjoyable, so that's the type of job I pursued.

Absolutely, A++++ type. I'm learning to accept letting go of control. I'm learning to tolerate a world where everything isn't exactly as I like it. I don't try to teach everyone 'the right way' to do things anymore. (Just couldn't help myself before but now I don't have the energy to waste. Priorities baby!)
As a child, my parents divorced and I was the grown up in the entire family. Since I was 3, I liked to get things done and take care of everyone.
Even in my forties, after a lifetime apart, my cousin said to me, "I see you're still bossy." At the time I was rolling my eyes at the guy in his fifties still living in his mom's basement and thinking at least I'm a good leader that has accomplished things. But now, yep, I have a control problem. I'm aware. Got it. Ha! That's half the battle I guess. Now I go around singing 'Let It Go' from Frozen.
Live and learn.

Absolutely was. I believe alot of us were extremely good hard workers at one time. Always went above and beyond.

Not a type A. I'm more of a dreamer. Reader/writer/artist. I can get lost in the curve of a flower petal.
I've pushed to accomplish things, but it was either out of need or to meet the expectations of others.
Laid back now, bit of a messy, doing what I please.Try to be their to support others. Happy just petting my cat.

I was a type B. With a very strong work ethic. It took getting injured on the job 2 times before I figured out how to "throttle down" slightly.
