Answer to Question 1

The structured interview is the main assessment tool used to determine behavioral type. During the interview, a person is asked to reply to several questions that describe type A and type B behavior patterns. The interviewer notes not only the responses to the questions but also the individual's mental, emotional, and physical behaviors as he or she replies to each question.
Based on the answers and the associated behaviors, the interviewer rates the person along a continuum, ranging from type A to type B. Along this continuum, behavioral patterns are classified into five categories: A-1, A-2, X (a mix of type A and type B), B-3, and B-4.

The type A-1 person exhibits all type A characteristics, and the B-4 person shows a relative absence of type A behaviors. The type A-2 individual does not exhibit a complete type A pattern, and the type B-3 individual exhibits only a few type A characteristics.



Answer to Question 2

As a five-minute de-stress technique, Sue Ann can perform the following simple exercise when arriving home at the end of the day and before beginning her evening routine:
Remove her shoes, lie on the carpet, and place her feet up on a chair.
Use a rolled-up towel at the base of her skull for neck tension or along the middle of the spine for back tension. Her lower back should be flat on the floor.
Completely relax and practice deep breathing for five minutes.
