BTW, I think I've also seen a two-dimensional model for that; I don't remember how the quadrant other than “good”, “bad” and “evil” (people who aren't terribly good at life, but at least try hard not to harm others as a result of their incompetence, even to a cost to themselves) was labelled -- wimps?

Sounds like two axes, one going from competent to incompetent, the other from well-intentioned to ill-intentioned.

Yes. (Not sure about the exact labels on the axes, but that was the spirit.) IIRC, “good” was the quadrant (competent, well-intentioned), “bad” was (incompetent, ill-intentioned), “evil” was (competent, ill-intentioned) and I don't remember the label on the remaining quadrant.
