Do You Have A 'Type C' Personality? Here's How To Tell

Type C personalityIf I asked you whether you’re more “type A” or “type B”, you’d probably start thinking about how competitive, detail-oriented, and ambitious you are. After all, we’re told, type A people are hard-working, organised, and goal-oriented. They might also tend to be a little aggressive and unempathetic, Medical News Today writes.Their type B counterparts, the usual comparison suggests, are more emotionally attuned and easygoing, but at the expense of motivation, urgency, and even timeliness. Feel like you don’t wholly fit those? Well, it turns out there’s a type C personality too – a creative, open-minded ambivert who combines out-of-the-box thinking with problem-solving logic and perfectionism. What is a type C personality?Per Healthline, type C personalities have trouble adjusting to change (unlike type B) but share the sensitivity towards others and creativity associated with the more relaxed personality type. Like type A personalities, they’re perfectionist and detail-oriented, but they avoid the conflict and aggression that type As might be more comfortable with.It is important to type C people that the people in their lives are happy, leading some to develop people-pleasing tendencies. And though they are amazing communicators in general, type C personalities can struggle to articulate their own needs and feelings – leading to outward passiveness but private resentment.Though they tend to be hard workers, type C personalities don’t advocate for themselves as much as a type A personality might. That may leave them feeling hopeless and frustrated – as though nobody sees their effort, or notices their often exhausting grift.Psychology Today says that type C personalities might be especially prone to leaving relationships with no warning, as they have not expressed their private resentments and anger to their partners, friends, or even colleagues.And though they might socialise well with others when required, type Cs are generally understood to be quite introverted.How can I tell if I’m a type C personality?If you are keen to help people but often do so to your detriment, leading you to feel quietly resentful, you might have a type C personality.The same goes if you are quietly ambitious but externally quite passive, ie hoping your hard work alone will get noticed. Type C personalities are often planners, researchers, and harsh self-critics.You may struggle to control yourself when stressed, find it hard to stand up for yourself, and generally fail to communicate your needs. Some evidence suggests that this repression and pessimism might be linked to cancer, though this is far from conclusive. Still, Psychology Today notes it’s important to recognise your own needs, sources of stress, and conflicts and address them where possible.
