AB  - This study reports the development of a brief self-report measure of the Type A 
      behavior pattern based upon a set of adjectives derived from the Gough Adjective 
      Checklist (ACL). Previous work from our laboratory established a set of 
      adjectives identified by experts as being relevant to the Type A construct that 
      subsequently was found to successfully distinguish Type A individuals from their 
      Type B counterparts. In the present study, a Type A self-rating scale based on 
      these adjectives was found to be significantly related to an established Type A 
      self-report instrument, the Jenkins Activity Survey (JAS), and to an independent 
      behavioral rating based upon a standard structured interview (SI). However, no 
      measure of Type A was related to the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) as 
      documented by coronary angiography. The advantages and disadvantages of the 
      various Type A measures are discussed in the context of their ability to identify 
      individuals at risk for the development of CAD.
