We know type A personalities are often described as hard-working, organised, and goal-oriented, while type Bs are seen as more emotionally attuned and easygoing (usually at the expense of motivation and urgency).
But people are increasingly recognising there’s a ‘type C’ personality, which is kind of a mash-up of both.
People who fit into the type C personality bracket might be introverted, non-assertive and passive. They tend to focus on others, sometimes at the expense of themselves, and are typically cooperative.
“Type Cs seem kind, obedient, well-mannered, pragmatic and normative people who are preferred by others in work and social life,”
