If you feel bad about how you are always late, a new study, which states that your personality type may be the cause of your tardiness, could make you feel better about yourself.



According to this study by Dr. Jeff Conte of San Diego State University, type-A individuals and type-B individuals simply experience time differently, which lead the former to be more punctual than the latter.



While people with type-A personalities estimated that a minute has gone by in just 58 seconds, their type-B counterparts only feel that a minute has passed after 77 seconds.
