Pretty great article. I&#x27;ve thought alot about these issues aswell. The tension between the two types is difficult to deal with and I don&#x27;t really know any solution, apart from mutual respect.<p>My characterisation of the two types would actually reverse the top-down&#x2F;bottom-up labels: type-A&#x27;s seem to be dithering around in the details, trying to assemble something larger, while type-B&#x27;s get the big picture, but loose focus as they zoom in on the details. In practice this explains the outward appearance: type-A&#x27;s obsession with getting the plan right (because they are chronically lost), and type-B&#x27;s rapid tinkering (because they never know if their crazy idea is going to work or not).<p>The two types struggle to connect: type-A just sees the B as a big mess, and type-B sees the A as technically correct but missing the point entirely.
