Those remind me of a GM version of the player groupings presented in one
of 
the old (very old now) Champions products. It had things like Pro from 
Dover, Builder, etc. There's been a number of them over the years.

I like them better than the type of stuff you find in the old Threefold,
GNS 
and stuff specifically because they are almost never negative. Rarely are 
they exclusive either. For example IMO a good GM should have elements of
all 
the above in them.

The downside is that I've never been able to select one that that I
thought 
was primary for myself. Picking one for my players is easier, likely
because 
I spend so much time attempting to understand their gaming desires.
