Ray & Bozek (1980) suggested that the Jenkins Activity Survey or ‘JAS’ (for measuring A—B personality) contained items measuring three different qualities: dominance, achievement motivation and ‘freneticism’. Although freneticism was found to be only a minor component of the JAS, it seems to correspond most closely to what the JAS is said to be measuring.
