I was just curious if anyone had an opinion of people diagnosed with ADHD/ADD if that puts them in a personality group type B without getting to know them?? Some of the symptoms are unaware of time, losing things, ect (which comes across as Type B) .... Well these are some of my areas I struggles with..... Yet I feel like I am type A.... What do you all think??

I would think someone with AD/HD is more likely to be type A (always moving, kind of on edge) ... I'm also a type A with AD/HD interesting question though!

After my husband's first open heart surgery we were invited to join a support group at the hospital. We'd take personality tests, discuss problems, share experiences, etc.
My husband, beyond a shadow of a doubt, is an A+ personality - I am totally the opposite. The nurse conducting the class said she didn't see how our marriage had survived since our personalities are totally different but I have to wonder if that's not the reason we have had a successful marriage for 45 years - we are totally different personalities. I am so not an A that I'd probably slide completely off the scale.

I've heard of a Type A personality, but not a Type B. What is type B? I am definitely not Type A (the driven, aggressive, competitive personality). I am more laid back. Is that Type B? I don't see that it is related to my ADHD symptoms. I am not sure what you mean by "without getting to know them"? It seems like someone would be aware of your personality long before they became aware that you have ADHD.

I read this post and had to ask myself the question "What does this mean?" Is it about excitabilty?....I have a form of ADHD considered "Predominately Inattentive" which, I guess a type "B" personality would possibly encompass??? BTW, I'm new here and want to say 'Hi!' although I've been a PsychCentral reader for several years. I learned of my ADHD when I was 48 after trying to cram 12 credits into 1 semester. A big mistake on my part! I'm now taking Concerta for this and have seen some benefits. Yesterday, when I signed up.....that was all she wrote for me...I went on to something else.....sorry

I can defiantly say I cant stop moving. I even rock myself to sleep sometimes, drives my boyfriend crazy sometimes... and sometimes..okay well most of the time I can not listen for the life of me. Should I try medication? Or do I just continue living like this, sometimes the anxiety is so high that I feel like im going to have a panic attack...

Lets not forget there are many flavours of AD(H)D. There is the hyperactive variant, the predominantly inattentive kind and the combined type as well.
In meyer briggs terms -N type personalities are perhaps the closest match for the group as a whole.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
