Whether temperaments can be divided into a list of contrasting categories: male or female introvert or extrovert scientific or artistic people person or loner aggressive or passive lucky or unlucky conservative or liberal optimist or pessimist isn't much debatable even if the types don't reside in neatly separated boxes... Another divide exists between people who are straightforward realists where others are happier with dreaming lives closer to fiction preferring to go here and there to eventually get somewhere. Basically goal-oriented versus process-oriented... Of course there are materialists vs the spiritually-minded and how do you discuss the same truths with both in the same conversation, but if you give them a comfortable seat and a good view on the journey they might both come along for the ride. Same journey, two ways of arriving, and both might consider themselves practical if quixotic, improvisational, and inefficient can be considered another version of practical while..
