Another psychological concept widely considered relevant to the context of people colloquially classified according to perceived behavior and motivation is the "fundamental attribution error".
I am surprised a psychiatrist includes in his administrative instructions information about how log affirmative interest specific to his forum about such classifications of people when formally, the classification could tend to impugn the motives of some people, and ...
when widely accepted attribution theory suggests people are often erroneously classified, sometimes in purely colloquial, non-scientific categories, because of attribution errors.
