There are several theories that explain personality, but what they all have in common is that they focus on defining different personality types. However, this does not mean that you fall specifically into any category. People when used to have traits of several different personality types.

Personality types and their inherent diseases

If you are interested in learning more about other personality types (such as A, C, and D), and the diseases and risk factors associated with each, remember the following:

• You may be able to identify that you belong to one of the personality types, but that doesn’t mean that the diseases associated with it will automatically come to you. Rather, it means that you are just more vulnerable to them.
• If you know someone with the same illness as you, it doesn’t mean you belong to the same personality type.
• This classification of personality is not universally valid. In other words, it’s not at all abnormal if you don’t feel like you belong to any of them.
