Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Type B personalities are relaxed, patient, and take life at an easy pace, so Benny’s “one day at a time” attitude immediately aligns with that profile.

1. Relevant knowledge points and concepts
- Type A vs. Type B personality theory: Type A = competitive, time-urgent, high-achieving, easily stressed; Type B = relaxed, noncompetitive, patient, less prone to stress.  
- Internalising vs. externalising (behavioral descriptors): internalising refers to inward distress (anxiety, depression), externalising refers to outward-directed behaviours (aggression, rule-breaking). These are not the same dimensions as Type A/B.

2. Step-by-step reasoning
- Benny is described as “laid-back,” preferring fishing and enjoying scenery rather than working overtime.  
- “One day at a time” implies low time urgency, low competitiveness, and a relaxed approach to responsibilities.  
- These traits map directly onto classic Type B characteristics.

3. Calculations / intermediate steps
- No numerical calculations are needed. Instead, match behavioral descriptors to personality types:
  - Laid-back, enjoys leisure → Type B
  - Avoids overtime and stress → Type B
  - Prefers relaxation over achievement pressure → Type B

4. Why the correct answer is correct
- The defining features of Type B personalities are calmness, lower stress reactivity, and preference for leisure over driven work behavior. Benny exemplifies all of these, so “Type B” is the appropriate label.

5. Why other options are incorrect
- a. internalising: Refers to inward emotional problems (e.g., anxiety, depression), not a relaxed lifestyle preference.  
- b. Type A: Opposite of Benny’s traits; Type A people are competitive, time-pressured, and work-focused.  
- c. externalising: Refers to outward disruptive behaviours (e.g., aggression), not Benny’s relaxed leisure orientation.

6. Conclusion
- Based on the trait matching above, the best description is d. Type B. This confirms the provided correct answer: d. Type B.
