3. As per the headline in Question #1, was the headline representative of the article? Please explain your reasoning in detail. (4 Marks)
The headline is in fact representative of the article because it aligns with the content of the article and reflects the information that it provides to the reader. The article first defines the “Type A personality” in order to provide more context and proceeds to list the 7 signs that the reader can use to self-identify themselves as this personality type. It also briefly expands upon each sign, outlines the differences between type A, B, C, and D personalities, and the benefits of being type A. Rather than leaving a type A reader feeling like a neurotic, stubborn individual, the article also explains how to thrive with as personality type.
The facts/information provided via the article’s content are also backed by psychologists, just as the headline claims. All information is sourced appropriately based on the professional who made the claim.
