Stress and Personality Stress is a normal part of life for many high school students. The school year is full of stressful situations and events. There are many different causes of stress, from homework to sporting events. Between retain good grades and teachers like Mr. Gibbons, some students feel like they can never seem to catch a break. However, very few of them know that their personality is a leading factor in their stress. Depending on the type of personality they are, their stress level could be higher or lower (Dumitru & Cozman 2012). The first type of personality is Type A personalities. They are the most outgoing personality of the two. People who have an intense ambition and are very competitive are categorized as Type A personalities. Time is also a very important concept to Type A’s. They will have an exaggerated time urgency. Many of Type A personalities believe that they must be early to an event or they are considered late. The final way Type A personalities can be categorized is by their outlook. A hostile, cynical outlook is the main characteristic of an A personality (Haupt 2010). Some characteristics of having a hostile outlook are lacking compassion, envious of others and their accomplishments, tendency to always see the worst in others, and aggression (McLeod 2014). The second, more laid back personality type, is Type B. Type B personalities are the calmer, more relaxed people who seem to be in no rush (Chandrakanta & Janijhua 2012). Patience is
Type B personalities are known for being easygoing and relaxed, as well as less prone to stress in uncomfortable situations (Myers 402). This leads to them being less angry overall, as well as generally optimistic. This, as well, leads to less frustration, and less aggression (Myers 403). This is extremely noticeable in the case of Maude.
Their personality includes the apparent lack of motivation, drive, urgency, and competitive spirit. The Type B person is described as calm, relaxed and non-competitive (Wilson, 2009).
There are many different personality types. The four dimensions of personality are: extravert or introvert; sensing or intuitive; thinking or feeling; judging or perceptive. Extroverts are energized by social interactions, like to be the center of attention and talkative. The opposite of extrovert is introvert.
The personality type most different form mine is the artist. “The artist will do whatever works, whatever gives them a quick, effective payoff, even if they have to bend the rules” (Keirsey, n.d.). I find myself struggling with this personality because I like to play by the rule, not bend them. I like to take time and assess the best way to do

A Type B behavior pattern is characterized by an easy-going personality. Type B people are usually not stressed or anxious during tasks. They are more tolerant of others, more relaxed, less anxious, less urgent, and less competitive compared to Type A personalities. They tend to not be worried about deadlines, which may lead to them completing their work late. This laissez-faire attitude is typically appreciated by people, but may lead to sloppy or haphazard work. Type B
Everybody has his or her own type of personality. We all act in a certain way that makes us who we are. It is believed that our parents, peers and, the environment we grow up in, shape us. Personality is describes as a combination of emotions, attitude, and behavioral patterns of an individual. There is a reason that we are the way we are and there are many theories that go along with that. Different theorist present their own definitions of the word personality based on their own theoretical positions. Which brings us to discussing Carl Jung’s theory of analytical psychology and Harry
My day just started and I’m already beyond stressed; I had to wake up, fix my hair, put on makeup, find my suit, and then bring myself here, ugh. As a high school student, I go through a good bit of stress trying to juggle advanced placement classes, clubs, a social life, a job, and writing this oratory; it seems like I never get a break. According to the American Psychological Association, high school students score a 5.8 on a ten point scale of stress during the school year, whereas adults score a 5.1. To put those scores in context, the APA suggests that the healthy level for a high school student is a score of 3.9. Clearly, teens are inundated with high levels of stress, and to make matters worse, the adults around them often refuse

There are two main theories that help identify a person’s personality type, the introvert or the extravert. These ideas became popular by: Carl Jung, he also believed that people at different times showed both characteristics of the introvert and the extravert.

To begin, I took the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator assessment. This assessment has been a reliable source for documenting personality and focuses on four dimensions of personality: extraversion or introversion, sensing or intuition, thinking or feeling, and judging or perceiving (Ledlow & Coppola, 2014). Based on my results, I would be categorized as ESFJ (extraversion, sensing, feeling, judging) personality type. ESFJs focus on the outside world and assess their experiences subjectively. They largely base their judgments on their belief system and on the effects of actions on people. ESFJs are literal and concrete, trusting the specific, factual information gathered through their physiological senses. They are often skilled at bringing out the best in people, and they want to understand other points of view. They are serious about their responsibilities, seeing what needs to be done and then doing it. Generally proficient at detailed tasks, they enjoy doing little things that make life easier for others. ESFJs seek structured, controlled environments, and tend to be good at creating a sense of order. They value the rule of law and expect
