Man, getting stereotyped feels bad, but unfortunately there is no alternative for humans. Great list. I might have drawn the boundaries differently, but I still like what you wrote.
I’ll plant this flag right here and now: I feel some affinity for all of these attitudes, some more than others. Above all, I have only a vague and partial sense of what a rational culture would be like. Dath Ilan is inspiring, but also feels vague and partial. It does feel easy to imagine that we are not close to the frontier of efficiency, and that this is due to silly mistakes.
I feel some worry when reading your comment on stereotypes.
I think that what I have depicted here gestures at vague axes in a multidimensional space, and I sort of expect that people can see which coordinate they’re closer to and, mainly, realize that others might be at a different location, one they still need to inquire on. I hope them to adopt a certain gentleness and curiosity in aknowledging that someone might have a different perspective on rationality, and I hope that they will not try to label people out loud.
I’m always a bit worried when naming things, because people seem to associate categories with “boxes” or “boundaries” rather than “shores of vast and unknown territories”.

Also, here are a couple of links that seem relevant to me, even if they are not fully on-topic.
