Evening, dudes!The "Is the Dude an Introvert?" thread got me thinking quite a bit about Dudeism's significance, not just as a philosophy, but in a broader social context. Now I'm wondering if there might be a correlation between those who embrace a Dudeist lifestyle and those who exhibit Type-B personality traits. . . .
As far as the question of whether dudeists tend to have Type B personality traits, I found this: "Type A / Type B theory c.1955 was introduced cardiologists Meyer Friedman and Mike Jordan. It's a theory of two groups, similar to, but not mappable to, Extrovert/Introvert. It has very limited scope and precision. It not used in newer personality theories and has been abandoned by the medical profession as well."http://www.temperamentorder.com/personality-history.phpIf type B is thought of as similar to introvert, then perhaps a case could be made for dudeists tending to be type B, but I guess I don't see where being an introvert is the same in any great way as being laid back. This may be part of what this website is referring to when it says the A/B theory was limited in scope and precision.

All I know is some dudes are out going and like big crowds and to meet people and others...well...other dudes prefer to be by themselves or only with a few friends.Some dudes can get up in front of a room full of strangers and put on a show; while other dudes prefer to sit in the back and keep to themselves...or not be there at all.I'm the "other" type of dude.
