Hi Joe,rnrnI was present this morning at the Northwest Kidney Center Breakfast Of Hope. I wanted you to know I thought you gave a stellar and heartwarming presentation! I am writing a blog on my website (www.speakingtowin.com) on you and what you shared about stress management. I am wondering where that list might be found both of the test you left at our tables about Type A personalities (I got an A+ by the way...scary?!) and your Stress Management list of Four Steps for Stress Reduction?I wanted to direct my readers to it by a link. Thanks. rnrnAnd again great talk this morning. Your talk was the best breakfast speaker talk I had seen in quite a long time!rnrnWArm regards,rnMary Anne DorwardrnCEO-Speaking To Winrnmadorward@speakingtowin.com

Hi Mary Anne,

Thanks for your kind comments about my talk for the Northwest Kidney Foundation. Please excuse the delay in replying to you. I was out of the country on a lecture tour and just returned.

Here is the self-assessment test for Type A personality. It's obviously not 100% accurate, but it is helpful in establishing whether or not a person has Type A tendencies.

SELF-ASSESSMENT
Type “A” Test

The following scale represents a range of emotions
from 3 (one extreme) to 24 (the opposite extreme.) Find yourself on each scale and
record your score. Then total your score to find your Personality Type.

3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24

You have a variety of interests OR You’re a workaholic
You do things at a slow or moderate pace OR You’re fast in all things - eating,
talking, actions
You do one thing at a time OR You do many things at one time
You seldom feel pressured or rushed OR You always feel behind schedule
You are not competitive OR You’re highly competitive in all things
You describe things with words OR You describe things with numbers
You’re casual about appointments OR You’re never late

TOTAL

120 and over A-plus
106 to 119 A
100 to 105 A-minus
90 to 99 B-plus
Less than 90 B
