I think the problem is that you ignore the physiological effect of being in your head and how it makes people less likely to want to engage in social interaction with you.
A problem that is about not being in contact with one's emotions is not helped by having concept with you can use to label the person with whom you are interacting.
The point of reading about personality styles and communication styles and so on is that it generates alternative hypotheses at that level--many 'nerds' do not realize that there are people out there who interpret statements as about relationship closeness instead of as about factual accuracy, and pointing that out to them is the fastest way to level up their interaction ability.
I don't think that it's useful to people into the bracket of caring about relationship closeness and people who care about factual accuracy. Depending on the context of the conversation the same person will focus on a different layer of the communicatoin.
Schulz von Thun's model describe the issue well. You don't need to put people into categories for that.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
