#707: Which of the 11 High Achiever Types Are You? (Take the Quiz)

Author: Trish Blackwell June 9, 2026 Duration: 29:27

High achievers often get lumped into one category: driven, ambitious, successful.

But not all high achievers are driven by the same thing.

In this episode, we're breaking down the four different types of Type A personalities and uncovering what each one is secretly avoiding. From perfectionism and people-pleasing to overachievement and control, you'll learn the hidden motivations behind your habits, stress patterns, and success strategies.

Because the truth is this: the more you understand yourself, the more power you have to change your life.

Self-awareness isn't self-indulgence—it's the starting point for growth. When you understand why you do what you do, you can stop fighting yourself, start working with yourself, and create new patterns that actually serve you.

If you've ever wondered why certain goals feel harder than they should, why you keep repeating the same cycles, or why success sometimes still feels unsatisfying, this episode will help you connect the dots.

In This Episode:

  • The 4 types of high achievers
  • What each personality type is trying to avoid
  • Why self-awareness is the foundation of confidence
  • How understanding your patterns helps you change them
  • The difference between pushing yourself and knowing yourself
  • Practical ways to create healthier, more sustainable success
