When you finish, use the scoring guide to total your responses. Then, complete the reflection question at the end to think about what your results say about your personality and study habits.

Make sure that your answers are clear, thoughtful, and written in complete sentences throughout your responses. Statements/ Questions Family- Unfair Treatment Between Siblings and Parents · Type A individuals might feel outraged by perceived favoritism or unfair treatment from parents, leading them to lash out or express their grievances forcefully. · Type B individuals are more likely to approach the situation with composure and assertiveness, seeking to communicate their feelings and find a resolution without escalating conflict. Answer: Food- Dropping Your Food on the Floor · Type A individuals might become immediately frustrated or angry when they drop their food on the floor, seeing it as a waste of time, effort, and resources. · Type B individuals are more likely to remain calm and adaptable when faced with the situation of dropping food on the floor, understanding that accidents happen and it's not worth getting upset over. Answer: Protection- Losing a Fight · Type A individuals may deflect responsibility for their loss by blaming external factors such as unfairness, luck, or the actions of others. · Type B individuals are more likely to reflect on the experience of losing a fight as an opportunity for growth and learning, seeking to understand their mistakes and improve for future challenges. Answer: Family- Death of a Loved One · Type A individuals might initially react with intense emotional distress, displaying outward signs of grief such as crying, wailing, or expressing anger. · Type B individuals are more likely to express their emotions in a controlled manner, allowing themselves to feel and process their grief without overwhelming themselves or others. Answer: Respect- Witnessing Someone Being Rude to a Waiter · Type A individuals might react to witnessing rudeness towards a waiter by confronting the person responsible or expressing their disapproval loudly and aggressively. · Type B individuals are more likely to intervene in a calm and diplomatic manner, seeking to address the situation without escalating conflict further. Answer : Confrontational- Someone Saying, "Do We Have a Problem?" · Type A individuals may take offense to the question and respond by becoming confrontational or hostile, viewing it as a challenge to their authority or competence. · Type B individuals express openness to discussion and resolution, acknowledging the possibility of a problem and seeking to address it constructively. Answer: Total Type A: _______ Total Type B: _____ Reflection Questions 1. Which Type (A or B) do you relate to most, and why? Think of a recent situation where you acted like your chosen type. How did your thoughts, feelings, and actions connect in that moment? Which part do you think you could change most easily, and why? How have your family, school, or past experiences influenced whether you act more like Type A or Type B? Give at least two examples. 2. How might adopting more Type B traits help your relationships and growth? Think of a past conflict. How might it have ended differently if you responded with Type B traits instead of your usual reaction? Choose three Type B skills (for example: staying calm, listening carefully, or seeing others’ perspectives). How could each of these skills change one past interaction, and how could you practice them regularly? 3. How would you like to respond in the future, and what strategies would help? Write an “if-then” plan: If situation X happens, then I will do Y. What emotion-control step (like pausing, deep breathing, or labeling the feeling) will you include? Why do you think this plan could work? If you could script out your ideal response to a stressful situation, what exact words and body language (tone, posture, eye contact) would you use? How would you respond if the other person reacted negatively?
