Pretty much yes. Since the story came out, a lot of researches have been done which don't find any major differences in the Type A/B person but new researchers simply ignore the evidence and start conducting researches of their own.
This is so concerning specially when these approaches are taught in our ncert and at a very basic level of psychology when we talk about understanding personality.
So does that make cluster A/B personality invalid? This story should come out into the limelight so that more researches could be done I guess.

Think the lesson here is that something being in our textbooks does not make it true.
Wow I had no idea! Thanks for this - such an illuminating story.
Glad you liked it!
