Some other categories related to this topic are available on my friend's blog. It is highly recommended to have a look on that......

Theorists:
This kind of personnel in the field of programming knows the complete detail of how the things go on, what’s the theory behind it, what logic must be applied to do the things in the right way but they rarely have done these all things in practical. They can very well explain you how should you proceed but when the point comes for them to do those things by themselves they fail. They only have the theoretical knowledge but practically they are zero.
Loudspeaker:
Producing a lot of sound and impressing the audience is their main property. This kind of people are very well suited for presentations but becomes dangerous for the group sometimes when they are trapped by the questions of the audience. This category of the people can say all the things fluently in front of the audience what they have mugged up during the preparation. These people have expertise in speaking and also have good level of confidence to present the things in a relevant manner. Sometimes if they are trapped by the audience then they handle the matter by their common sense and knowledge what so ever they are having
Commandos:
A very special category of the programmers is the commandos, who once understood the problem domain, are capable of doing all the work in time and in perfect manner. They know all the minute details of each and every step they are applying to solve the things. They are having sound technical knowledge both theoretical and practical. Confused professors seem to take lessons from commandos, and its big head ache of commandos to describe the things properly to confused professors. Also "Politician" is seen to have conflict with the commandos.
Confused Professor:
Knowing a lot of programming languages as ‘C’, “JAVA”, J2EE, .NET, etc. but very few of them are recalled at the time when there is need is the problem of these types of persons. These types of people gain lot of knowledge in a short span of time but they don’t practice that knowledge; thus they get confused in the syntax and other minute details of the various programming languages. They not only themselves confused but they try to confuse the other people also. The main problem with “Confused Professor” is that being professor (in nature) he tries to explain the things to other people but being confused he actually fails to do that and confuses others also. So, other members try to keep away from confused professor. But commandos know that this guy is having a lot of knowledge, and when commandos are in problem they seek the help of confused professor.
Showman GUY:
Showman GUY:
Talking about lot of technical words, carrying electronic devices to impress others, always doing work so that he must be the point of attraction of others – these are some of the activities that are done by the persons having this quality. They always try to show that they are superior than others, having a lot technical knowledge, they do what they like, don’t listen to others but actually they are only having little knowledge; in background they steal the ideas of commandos and administrators. They always try to keep away from commandos because they know that once they came in contact with the commandos, commandos will know their reality and then they cannot show off in front of commandos.
Side Kick:
Side Kick:
Gathering material from various sources, giving ideas that are actually of others, going here ‘n there for printouts, reference books, etc. were main jobs of side kick. This category is overlooked in team but plays an important role in the team. The administrators and commandos know the potential of side kick. They exploit their potential for the welfare of the project. Side kick don’t argue with "Administrators" and "Commandos", and accept the work assigned to them happily.
