I normally don't like using these terms, but I think they're decent descriptors for most people.

Do serious relationships between Type A and Type B people last? I know that, in general, Type As and Bs don't get along that well. So I can't imagine a serious relationship between the two going very well either.

Thoughts?

The theory describes a Type A individual as ambitious, aggressive, business-like, controlling, highly competitive, impatient, preoccupied with his or her status, time-conscious, and tightly-wound. People with Type A personalities are often high-achieving "workaholics" who multi-task, push themselves with deadlines, and hate both delays and ambivalence.

The theory describes Type B individuals as perfect contrast to those with Type A personalities. People with Type B personalities are generally patient, relaxed, easy-going, and at times lacking an overriding sense of urgency.

Type A and Type B personality theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

One isn't better than the other, but they seem pretty incompatible.

One of my older cousins is a Type A - a hard one. His wife is very much a Type B. They've raised 2 kids, have 2 baby grandchildren now, and are just as happy as the day they married, many many years ago. They are absolutely perfect for each other.

It's like in the original Rocky...
Paulie: [talking about Adrian] You like her?
Rocky: Sure, I like her.
Paulie: What's the attraction?
Rocky: I dunno... she fills gaps.
Paulie: What's 'gaps'?
Rocky: I dunno, she's got gaps, I got gaps, together we fill gaps.
