Each type has its own strengths and weaknesses, and in the case of type A people, Blaylock-Solar notes that these folks are ambitious, independent, and can be very passionate when committed to a cause. They’re also good at multitasking, organizing, managing projects, and taking the lead in general, she adds.
And as aforementioned, type A people can be inspiring and motivating forces to the people around them, not afraid to push the envelope in the name of getting something done.
Of course, whether you consider these qualities a strength or a weakness is a matter of perspective. Some may find type A people aggressive, overly competitive, and impatient, while others may find them to be hard workers, driven, and reliable.
As Neo tells mindbodygreen, “It’s not about what’s good or what’s bad, but rather how can we make use of the way we are wired to serve us in different situations, with different people, and generally to find a sense of peace, mental wellness, and mental fitness.”
She adds that when it comes to type As, they need to “reward themselves along the way, rather than wait for a big goal to be fulfilled many years later, and still move the goalposts.”
