I have no clue about Dylan but I am sure secondhand trash talk gossip is an excellent source of facts when evaluating the way someone experiences the world their motivations and how they process information. Is this connected to that Te thing I hear so much about? I would rather rely on my own experience of someone to jud..err, type them.

That Rob guy seems like a great friend to have though.

Op say's it best:

My point was to stop using quick stereotypes, shallow personalities, and the like, to type people whom you don't know well. A person's type often goes deeper than that, and it's more important to understand the workings behind people's brians that drives their type, as oppossed to outward personality.
Oops... hmmm
