The aggressive personality linked with these symptoms is the aggressive, impatient type A.
There is a theory called Type A and Type B personality, which describes these two contrasting personalities. People in the type A group are highly competitive, aggressive and hostile, while people in the type B group are more relaxed, less stressed and patient. It has been shown that type A people have a much higher risk of developing heart disease. This could be due to their higher cholesterol levels, higher blood pressure and higher secretions of stomach acid.
