Odds are you’ve heard someone mention they’re a Type A personality before. Maybe you’ve even labeled yourself as Type A without understanding its whole meaning. The Type A and Type B personality theory is nothing new. The theory, first developed by cardiologists Meyer Friedman and Ray H. Rosenman, has been around since the 1970s. These doctors based the Type A and B Personality Theory upon the idea that people can be categorized into two groups based on their behavioral responses to stress. The theory also includes two other Types, which are less publicized, Type C and D.  

Different personality types have unique personality traits that fit well with particular kinds of jobs and careers. But in a working context, there are some personality traits that are universally applicable and endlessly helpful. Anyone of any personality type can possess them or cultivate them, and if they do, their long-term career prospects will be dramatically enhanced.
