Type A's and Issues surrounding time.

Type A people have limitless problems with time. Type A's need to be on time, they need to avoid running out of time, they need to have a watch or clock handy so they can measure time, they invest time, measure the value of time spent and time left available. These folks have issues with deadlines, as they are restricting, yet they feel they must have them and they must be met. Time is a tool for measuring and a means of limiting, confining and defining. As such, time is important to someone who has always had to meet standards and deadlines for acceptance.

Issues with money.

Type A people have esteem issues, as they don't base their value on solid ground but rather on meeting standards. As such, rather than by their inherent value as people, they value themselves and what they do by money. What's it worth, what did it cost, how much do they earn, have and spend? They spend or give money as a way of showing love or affection. It is their empowerment and security. In relationships there is a medium of exchange and of acceptance with others and it is money.

Issues with dirt.

As the type A individual is perfectionist and of low self esteem they don't want to have any association with dirt. Getting dirty makes them feel cheap and worthless. They need neat surroundings.

Yikes, Larry! Where did you find that? I'm Type-A-ish about time but not other stuff. It's not because I have low self esteem! It's because I think being on time is valuable and improves quality of life.

Whoa there, Charles. A bit out of line, aren't we? That wasn't a low self esteem issue. If you saw my grandma you'd see why.
