Motti,
Without going off on a tear, I do agree that all behaviors Scientological are much more complicated than membership in Groups 1 or 2 or 3, as defined by individuals' personalities.
Human behavior is NEVER based on a single driver, e.g., personality or even other internal drivers like attitudes and beliefs. In fact, everything I know about human behavior places a greater weight on external (situational) causes of a person’s behavior, e.g., incentives, constraints, role requirements, social pressures. Just think about all the things people have done while inside the Church of Scientology that they now have great trouble squaring with their own values / beliefs / personality.
I encourage you to hang around and read all you can here and elsewhere. You may wish to take it on as a challenge to understand better and then to appreciate the many different perspectives about Scientology that people here (and those who aren't here) have about the subject, practice, group and personalities of Scientology and the Church.
And I really do mean this: Welcome to ESMB.
