You know, you can't really say that male and female are the two types, because what about people who are born with both or people that don't truly belong as what they were born?

I'd also like to point out that XX and XY don't count, either, because there's also XXY, XYY, and (I assume) XXX, though Google searches of the last one have not produced any scientific documents to support my claim.

Its even difficult to separate 10 people in only two groups. You can separate the group of 10 people in several ways, having different teams every time.
If you take one issue at a time, you find at least 3 groups: people who fit/people who dont fit/people who have a nuance of fitting and not fitting; into the eternity of differences.
I think it would be better to ask; what is it that some people have in common?

Actually there are only 10 kinds of people...those who understand binary and those who don't.....I am of the former.

Then there are those who can rub their bellies in a circular motion and pat their heads at the same time and those who can't....I am not of the former.

Those with a black and white morality and those, like me, with a blue and orange morality.

Forgot cynics, although I guess one could argue that they are a mixture

Oh I get it, NT's are comformists and people with aspergers are non-conformists. How typical of an answer I guess.

What about those that conform to non-conformity? Where do they fit in?

To be a non-conformist, do you have to absolutely dismiss ALL things, or can you conform to some things that you believe are correct? What if someone believes that all aspects of conformity are correct?

It would seem as though logically there is no such thing as a true non-conformist. People choose which set of values and which group's norms they want to conform to most of the time. Funny how some groups of people are considered more "non-conformist" than others.

As far as the original question, my dad always seems to say that the two kinds of people in the world are entrepreneurs and employee types. My own opinion is that you should never trust anyone who says there are only two kinds of people.

How would you classify them? As for myself I'm still thinking, I could classify them into different stuff.

10 types of people in the world: those who can understand binary and those who can't

On a more serious note: leaders and followers. Leaders go out and do things for themselves, followers just help the leaders achieve their goals. So which do you wanna be?
