I guess it depends - I'm reasonably calm (in my opinion) and prefer to think before I act; but I have friends whose first, second, and third impulse is to start lashing out. Don;t get me wrong, they are good guys - but they react rather than plan. And I've met (but generally stayed at arms length from) people who are permanently angry.

In my case I think it's a legacy of riding motorcycles instead of driving for thirty years: if you don't plan for what might happen and have an alternative ready then you are going to become a smear on the roadway pretty quickly!

It's probably down to "everyone is different" rather than "cod psychology".
