There are many ways to distinguish between types of people.
Man, woman.
Introverted, extroverted.
Individualist, collectivist.
Truth speakers, lie speakers.
Utilitarians, cooperators.
Intuitives, sensors.

But perhaps the most important way of distinguishing between people is those who believe they are God, and those who know they are not God. A large amount of decisions a person makes in life flow from whether they believe they are God, or not. Because the fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.

But in another sense, what a person believes about themselves as to whether or not they are God is an important headwaters for the kind of wisdom that will flow from them.

A signal that a person believes they are God is their lack of gratitude, because if a person believes they are God then there is no Great Causer outside of themselves to thank. But if a person believes they are not God, then it's more likely they develop a habit of gratitude because then there is a Great Causer outside of themselves, bigger than themselves to thank for the gift of life and all things.

If you become someone who groks you are not God, and then grok God himself, you will become someone who signals humility and openness to other people, and will therefore attract people like yourself to yourself and will then find the community your heart needs because the relationships you find with those humble, open people will be real.

Believing you are God can only lead to pain, because resistance to reality always produces pain and suffering and because your choices will flow from that deep lie. Then you will attract other God complex afflicted individuals, which will lead to loneliness because relationships based on pride and dishonesty are not real.

Fundamentally, you get to select which kind of person to become.
