TikTok users can’t stop complaining about ‘type B’ coworkers. The classic personality polarity is making the rounds in viral social media skits.

On TikTok, videos on being type B are having a moment, racking up thousands of views and comments of those who can relate or identify with the chaos. Plenty also poke fun or air their frustrations with the type Bs in their lives. 

The recent discourse essentially equates type A to someone who has their lives together, and type B to a more laidback go-with-the-flow personality.

“Type b people EXPECT everything to work out fine for them and it always does. This is literally the person that actually gets promoted.”

Most feel an affinity one way or another, similar to the way we label ourselves as introverted or extroverted, or proudly claim INTJ or ISFP according to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. These personality stamps can be helpful when explaining particular tendencies, or finding ways to leverage strengths or inhibit weaknesses, particularly in the workplace.
